Open-source coding plans split Claude refugees

OpenCode Go looks like the clearest budget play in this discussion, but the feedback is blunt: price only matters if the limits and model quality hold up under real coding sessions.

• –OpenCode says Go is $5 for the first month, then $10/month, aimed at open coding models with stable global access.
• –Reddit replies suggest it works for casual or moderate use, but heavier users hit weekly and monthly caps fast.
• –Kimi Code is positioned as a membership perk with terminal and IDE support, but it reads more like a bundled product than a pure bargain plan.
• –Z.ai’s GLM coding plan is the most explicit competitor here, with documented support for Claude Code, Cline, and OpenCode plus tiered usage caps.
• –The broader signal is that developers want a lower-cost Claude alternative, but they still care more about reliability, quota transparency, and model behavior than raw benchmark hype.
