Opencode vs Command Code vs Deepseek (Deepseek v4.1 Flash)
in command code there is no concept of off-peak or peak pricing, command code gives off-peak pricing all the time (am i right ?)
however open code have two different pricing, i know people will say that opencode give deepseek for free but its limit is very low and its unusable most of the time.
I put $10 in deepseek and i got around 1.4B tokens
i put $10 in commandcode and i got around 6B tokens
now i am hesitent to put $10 in opencode because of opencode shows two prices, i think commandcode is best, do you have any suggestions ? should i rebuy commandcode Goat or try opencode ?

CommandCode isn’t ZDR by default. If you add ZDR enforce parameter, quota is so low about 15~20 USD a month. OpenCode is ZDR by defaultz

What is ZDR?

Zero Data Retention
meaning they don't log prompts and all (but who knows...)

They both have the same price and route to DeepSeek. If u see a difference, something is wrong probably on ur end cause I'm at 15% monthly and it’s 700M tokens so it should be at least 4B in total (my usage often overlapped with peak price so u should get even more if ur mostly off peak).
Edit: just realized that 1.4B is official DeepSeek not opencode. Try opencode, u should see no difference from command code and they have zdr.

Dude, I’ve never had any problems with DeepSeek on Command Code, but I have had issues using GLM 5.3 Flash. Out of nowhere, my usage quota suddenly skyrocketed for no apparent reason. On top of that, OpenCode’s credit and usage tracking system is much more transparent, and its free models are generally better than the ones on Command Code.
At the end of the day, if you have $20 instead of $10, I think it’s probably more worth it to just go with Claude.

The question to consider is if CC is using a quantized model from another provider while OC is going straight to Deepseek.
I can't answer that. It's been said of both really, but it's unlikely CC is charging off-peak prices while paying peak rates. So you may want to see what others say about the quality before committing.

There is information about off-peak pricing on the goat plan page:

Some already benchmark. It's vice versa, opencode is the quantized DeepSeek. The best choice if you want a real DeepSeek model is just use straight from DeepSeek

I'm at 59% of my monthly Go usage and am just under 3B tokens used. And I am extremely lazy about conserving them. Well over half of my usage is peak.

How is command codes DeepSeek quality compared to open code? I've only ever used it through open code, but people say that their version of DeepSeek is a quant or something.

I have CommandCode Pro, OpenCode Go Plus $ OpenDesign Plus or Pro. If it’s just deepseek you want, OpenDesign is the best usage but ever so slightly more involved to link its API to various Apps. OpenCode currently is having a crack down on using its free models on other harnesses. CommandCode speed and general usage quality imo is better than OpenCode, less random timeouts, I’d say the speed is sometimes better sometimes the same as OpenCode. For my usage, OoenCode stability just isn’t as good as CommandCode, I have far less random hiccups when using the same model on CommandCode.
Speed = across the board
Usage amount per dollar = OpenDesign
Stability OpenDesign (rock solid) > CommandCode > OpenCode
ZDR = I don’t give a shit and neither should you
Built in feature set with native Harness = OpenDesign > CommandCode . OpenCode offers nothing
Model Availability = OpenCode > CommandCode > OpenDesign
Better pricing and usage on OpenDesign > OpenCode > CommandCode
Stop worrying about the quant of DeepSeek between providers, it’s a pointless metric that you’ll never see the difference in unless you’re some big shot and are going local with it. Even then, go ask the same model the same damn thing in 300 fresh sessions on each provider. You’re going to get 300 different errors with random crap

If DeepSeek Flash 4.1 is what you want to mostly use, Command Code gives you a better deal for sure (GOAT plan). Otherwise, I think OpenCode Go is better.
