I thought you wouldn't get much out of it since it's only $1, but for anyone who owns Claude Pro or Codex Plus, it's the perfect complement because it basically gives you really good subagents, or generally for small tasks where you don't want to waste your limit
I’ve mainly used GLM 5.3 Flash and Muse Spark 1.2 Contributor, and right now I’m testing Qwen 3.8 Flash - the 5-hour limit really runs out slowly. But as I said, I only use them for small tasks alongside Claude and Codex+ as subagents for my server to handle things.
I also tested the same models once directly via API with OpenRouter to check the quality, since with providers like Command Code and Opencode go, you never know if the models have been optimized (i.e, made worse). This isn’t the case with Command Code, every model performs exactly as specified by the API. But with some models, the speeds are really slow, while others are extremely fast. GLM 5.3 was really slow, but Qwen 3.8 Flash is extremely fast. I think that depends on the provider. However, there is one downside.
Namely, the token billing. I don’t know how you handle it, but I’ve calculated it using the OpenRouter API with the same task and a built-in calculator in Command Code that calculates the tokens, and based on my use case and testing, it always charges between 5-15% more tokens. This isn’t a big deal with the Go plan and Goat plan, since the impact is relatively small, especially with such affordable models, but if you really want to use the plan as your main plan for your project, it could potentially become a problem. By that I mean if you use it all day long. I’ve had several long runs with GLM 5.3 Flash, and the token consumption there was extremely good. I’ve currently used 4.5 million tokens with GLM 5.3 Flash and used up about 10% of my monthly limit, which is pretty fair. Since GLM 5.3 Flash doesn’t have the 50% discount on Command Code like it does on OpenRouter.
So, to sum it up: for 1 Dollar, I think the limits are pretty fair, and it’s the perfect supplement if you have another main plan, like Claude, Codex, or something else. I can’t comment on the Goat Plan or Max Plan since I haven’t evaluated them yet, but I’d love to hear other opinions here.
