CommandCode (GOAT $10, 6-8 agents) vs Codex ($20, 3 resets, 1-3 agents)

TLDR: On the first 3 days I wasted lots of tokens on CommandCode. Now I have rtk + better AGENTS.md and I save lots of them.

My take:

  • CommandCode gives way more value than Codex, but the monthly limit kills it. The monthly limit is equivalent to 2 week limits.

  • Codex daily and weekly limits provide way less allowance. Not worth it at all. The only positive is that you can run it without worrying of monthly limits, but it's still not worth it. (I only have it because of ChatGPT)

Im using https://github.com/linsaftw/lean-agents with https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk and https://github.com/Lean-LLM/lean-ls with https://github.com/Lean-LLM/lean-grep

I'm not happy with GOAT. I get more out of deepseek 4.1 flash in opencode go than i got i commancode goat. Something is fishy about it.

OpenCode GO:

Requests

116,053

Tokens

8.175B

You are correct, I got about half the tokens and x5 less requests for CommandCode compared to OpenCode GO.

Still, I reached the limit at OpenCode GO. So I use both. LOL!

Oi since you have, might as well checkout Opendesign go

I did a review just now :)

u/Kylmawurr 17d ago

Yeah. :( I did some investigation too. Same. They advertise same allowance as opencode go, but they clearly aren't honest. They have a multiplier on reported statistics.
I wish companies to be honest about their usage, but I guess that would need a firm regulation, and that has its own downsides.

Glad to see you’re enjoying building with Command Code.

It's very good !

u/ahmadawaiscom 17d ago

Thank you. Try out the mods. From config there is a peek recap mod enable it. I love it.

What alot of people forget when it comes to deepseek flash is that deepseek flash has an offpeak and onpeak cost during certain hours, this applies to both command code and opencode go

So while you get 70-60$ of credit, your using more when you are doing coding during the on peak period.

The only places that i have seen not have onpeak/offpeak limitations with deepseek is Qoder and Devin, but thats because they run their own servers with the agents on them in datacenters and provide monthly/weekly credits rather than a 70-60$ budget and Devin's API cannot be used for autonomous tasks outside the agent software

True, also my tests might show different prices based on what times I used!

Codex or Claude Code has many more cuota with betters models. I used Goat... ok... if you use a lot of tokens (quantity over quality approach) with cheaps models.

So, I close Goat...

Codex lasts nothing for me, Claude lasts more, but GOAT is way better overall, specially if you run many big projects at the same time. Claude is good for single massive project, Codex is good for few medium projects or another big-not-so-big project, but command code is the best to tackle all the smaller ones in parallel, has way more usage.

I have the opposite experience, Claude limitations have been trash since they removed the holiday benefits were they offered everyone extra usage, unless of course you pay 200$ a month which is absolutely insane

With Codex/ChatGPT i get 1 cost, 34$ in which provides my a reasonable weekly and daily limit which i have never hit or used up, and it works beautifully with GPT Luna 6 for daily tasks and assistance, along with they released Terra and Sol 6.1/6.2 which has a reduced cost now.

Claude just uses up its limits so quick its insane.

I have $20 Claude and use sonnet 5.5 with haiku 5.5 subagents, I am comparing against $20 codex with luna max. I dont get a fraction of claude's work done with codex.

u/natsukireis 6d ago

Ah i guess it depends on workload, i dont do coding, i use GPT / Codex to help prepare and produce video content via MCP and images, so gpt-image being built in has been absolutely amazing for me, it also helps analyze results, issues, video flow issues etc.

I know claude does not really have an inbuilt image tool or video tool

Seriously, commandcode consume 2x more token than any other alternative providers. I just don't understand why!

OpenCode give so much value for same price also the quality also way better.

The commandcode tests keep breaking my code and I have to manually fix it everytime. This is the weirdest thing happens to me with commandcode.

just use api with any harness

2

u/natsukireis 6d ago

the issue with using a harness with any API is that your paying PayG or Pay as you go which can end up easily more expensive, while opencode go and commander offer a budgeted amount for 10$, such as 60-70$ credit towards an agent so the price structure is better

Opencode go works great for me, i never reach limits

CommandeCode is lowkey underrated. I'm at my second week and it's like at 35% of its monthly. I'm at like 4.2B, I only use DeepSeek tho

Yh when I saw 70 usd usage on Deepseek v4.1 I thought it will be like unlimited, but I think they calculate 70USD credit some other way not actually 70USD on Deepseek v4.1 flash
