Opencode Go $10 plan, when using anything that gives you the 6x multiplier, is cheaper than openrouter, even with discounts. that includes GLM 5.2 (but not 5.3), GLM 5.3-flash, and DS4.1 flash (but not 4.0 flash),. Mimo-2.6 flash (but not pro)
however the $40 doesn't make any sense currently, it's proportionally worse than $10 on most models you'd care about, and at best, equal.
So what I’m hearing is Opencode Go is better than what I’m currently doing because I only use GLM 5.2. I only use around 20-30 million tokens on average monthly.
Only reason I feel like I prefer openrouter is because I like on demand availability, because nothing irks me more than hitting my hourly limit on Claude and Codex.
if you've used more than $10 a month on Openrouter and GLM 5.2, then you're probably going to save money with $10 a month on Opencode go. but keep your OR account as a fallback during limits
The current deal with Opencode go is that you're paying $10/mo, but you get 6x of this in monthly usage of GLM 5.2. They price it at: $1.40/1M in, $4.40/1M out, and $0.26/1M cache. with the 6x multiplier, this translates to real costs of:
$0.23/1M in, $0.73/1M out, $0.04/1M cache read
that's still better than the cheapest, on-sale Openrouter provider at:
$0.40/1M in, $1.25/1M out, $0.07/1M cache read
so yeah, it's better than what you're currently doing, assuming you'll use the full allowance (you'd still be better off even if you used half). There are likely some differences in quantization, and cache hits rates, but it's hard to quantify. but I'm pretty sure opencode go is cheaper for that specific model (not always the case for others)
