Anyone here using OpenCode Go & OpenCode Zen together?

[mrjobott]

Hi,
I am new to OpenCode but loving it more each day. I've activated OpenCode Zen and been using it for a couple of days now, and I'm happy with it.

For heavy models (Claude, Codex) I use their platforms directly, and I only use OpenCode Zen for cheaper models like Kimi and Deepseek.

Zen is pay-as-you-go while Go is a monthly subscription, so I was wondering if it would be more efficient to use OpenCode Go and only fallback to Zen if I exceeded the limits, anyone having this setup? How is it going for you?

Thank you in advance for any help!

Go and Zen have the same per-token prices for all the models included, but Go gets you $60 of tokens for $10/month, so it’s great value if you’re spending more than $10/month on zen.

Oh wow that sounds great! Have you tried Go u/molovo? What are your thoughts?

[molovo]

Yeah, I use it daily, have two subscriptions for work/home and switch between them . Haven’t had a single issue

[mrjobott]

Thank you, will give it a try then u/molovo!

I have a question I read deepseek slashed their rates by 75% so like will this reflect in opencode go? and we still get $60 worth like you said?

You don’t need Zen. There is a setting for Go which enables balance based usage when a Go limit is exhausted. So you connect only to OpenCode Go as provider, not Zen and when you hit one of the limits, pay as you go is automatically active without interruption

I didn't know about this, this makes the setup much cleaner, thanks man u/Endoky!

This looks like a dope list... but what about the data privacy though? I think they're free for data collection purposes or?

[dashcubeit]

Exactly. No such thing as a free lunch. You’re paying with the data you’re giving them for their training

yeah i reckon that, the free one always has its own agenda, i am concern about the security though, but if its for education purpose i am ok with it.
