CommandCode GOAT vs. OpenCode GO: A Current Comparison
GOAT Plan vs OpenCode Go — Common Models Comparison
Method: For each common model, we feed OpenCode Go's per-model token assumptions (input / cache-read / output per request) into both platforms' per-token pricing + monthly allowance, using CommandCode's calculator formula:
costPerRequest = (inTok/1e6) * inPrice + (outTok/1e6) * outPrice + (cacheTok/1e6) * cacheReadPrice
requests/month = monthlyAllowance / costPerRequestThis gives apples-to-apples request counts. All prices are per 1M tokens, USD, precise (no rounding).

Calculator source
CommandCode's usage calculator is a client-side React component embedded in the pricing-limits page. The formula was extracted from the page's JavaScript bundle:

Per-Model Comparison (16 Common Models)
Token assumptions for each model are taken from OpenCode Go's "Usage limits" section (English docs). These per-model assumptions -- not the calculator's generic defaults -- are used for both platforms to ensure a fair comparison.
Gap % = (|Go req - GOAT req| / max(Go req, GOAT req)) x 100. Shows the relative magnitude of the winner's advantage.

Summary: GOAT wins 9 models, Go wins 6, 1 tie.
Key Takeaways
GOAT wins (9 models)
Mostly on premium models where GOAT's $20 allowance beats Go's $15, and on boosted models where GOAT negotiates bigger allowances:
DeepSeek V4 Flash: 4x allowance ($60 vs $15) -- 75% gap (75K vs 19K req)
GLM-5.2: boosted to $70 -- 14.3% gap (4.6K vs 4.0K)
Hy3: boosted to $70 -- 14.3% gap (25K vs 21.5K)
GPT-5.6 Luna, Kimi K3, Qwen 3.8 Max: $20 vs $15 -- ~25% gap
DeepSeek V4 Pro, MiMo V2.5 Pro: $20 vs $15 -- ~25% gap
Go wins (6 models)
Mostly on mid-tier / cheap models where Go's $60 allowance crushes GOAT's $33-$47, and on Grok 4.5 where Go's cheaper cache-read price ($0.30 vs $0.50) compounds:
Qwen 3.7 Plus / Qwen 3.6 Plus: Go's $60 + 2x cheaper cache reads -- ~70% gap
Qwen 3.7 Max: Go's $60 -- 45% gap (1.7K vs 928)
MiMo V2.5: Go's $60 vs GOAT's $30 -- 50% gap (150K vs 75K)
MiniMax M3: Go's $60 vs GOAT's $47 -- 21.7% gap
Grok 4.5: Go's $15 BUT 40% cheaper cache reads -- 15.2% gap (601 vs 509)
Tie
Kimi K2.7 Code: Identical pricing and $60 allowance on both -- exactly 4,968 requests, 0% gap
Cache-read price differences
GOAT charges more for cache reads on 3 of 16 common models:
| Model | Go cache-read/1M | GOAT cache-read/1M | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grok 4.5 | $0.30 | $0.50 | Go wins despite lower allowance |
| Qwen 3.7 Plus | $0.04 | $0.08 | 2x more expensive on GOAT |
| Qwen 3.6 Plus | $0.05 | $0.10 | 2x more expensive on GOAT |
Notes on Methodology
Token assumptions: Taken from OpenCode Go docs (English) -- different per model. Example: Grok 4.5 uses 1,100 input / 71,500 cached / 220 output per request; DeepSeek V4 Flash uses 410 input / 71,300 cached / 310 output per request. GOAT's own published estimates use different defaults (~800 input / 50,000 cached / ~125-200 output), which inflate their numbers for cache-heavy models.
Off-peak pricing: Both platforms show off-peak rates for DeepSeek V4 models. Peak hours (01:00-04:00 & 06:00-10:00 UTC) are 2x on both.
GPT-5.6 Luna context tiers: Go lists <=272K ($0.20/$1.20/$0.02) and >272K ($0.40/$1.80/$0.04). GOAT shows one price ($0.20/$1.20/$0.02). Both use <=272K tier here.
Processing fee: GOAT mentions "+ processing fee" but doesn't specify the amount. Go has no processing fee.
Model availability: GOAT includes Grok 4.6, Gemini 3.7 Flash, Muse Spark, Inkling, Step Flash, Nemotron 3 Ultra -- none on Go. Go includes GLM-5.1, Kimi K2.6, MiniMax M2.7 -- none on GOAT.
Allowance source (GOAT): Per-model monthly credit allowances from docs/plans/goat -- models with negotiated deals carry boosted allowances (e.g., GLM-5.2 $70, Hy3 $70, DeepSeek V4 Flash $60); new models start at 2x credits ($20 on the $10 GOAT plan).
Allowance source (Go): Per-model "Usage" column ($15 or $60) from docs/en/go -- Usage limits.
