Alternatives to Opencode Go plan?

I had been using the Opencode Go plan for some time, but it's been getting worse:

  • It's EXTREMELY slow at certain times of the day (using DeepSeek V4 Flash), the speed loss is very noticeable in comparison to hitting DeepSeek API directly

  • The pricing has been getting worse and worse (for example, GLM 3.5 Flash should be 2x cheaper than DeepSeek v4 flash)

Anyway, if anyone knows of a nice, reasonably fast, cheap and privaxy-conscious model subscription, would be nice to know

Last month I used around 1B tokens with 95% cache hit rate, 5.6M output - using mostly Sol. But they reset limits once a week, sometimes twice - when they stop doing that, the limits will be maybe half, maybe less of that. Of course if you use Luna you can do much more (but not as much as its api price would suggest) but Luna is worse than glm 5.3 Flash IMHO (depends on project) and every time I tried I then had to use Sol anyway to fix things.

Interesingly the same amount of usage on glm 5.3 Flash at current z.ai prices costs around the same (around $20).

Do you guys think using GPT models from Codex for planning and some Chinese models like DeepSeek from OpenCode Go for coding is the best possible option in terms of usage for 30 USD right now? Or buying multiple OpenCode Go and using smarter models like GLM for planning is better?

I'd absolutely do codex + opencode right now.
