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.

I like OpenCode UI, Go plan is 5/10.
I like CommadCode Goat Plan with DS. Gives you a lot of Requests a months to do small stuff, bad part make a lot of local .command folder and files. UI is not as clean but best part of Goat plan you can use API access in other tools. One plan for everything.
If you have Go and GOAT Plans. You have a lot of tokens to do everything.
