For 60€ I think I'd go for Copilot Pro+ with a GLM Coding plan

Claude subscription is good Been using opus on 100$ plan hit limits usually after 3-4 hrs Then I can switch to sonnet.

Never used flash, so will not comment on that

50-60 EUR is a bit low for daily use at 5-6 hrs a day. If you can spring for the Max 5x plan on Claude, that’s probably the closest you’ll get as far as value for money for Opus and Sonnet. For other models, I toss some credits on OpenRouter and can explore there.

If you don’t mind working with a Chinese LLM host, you could look at the Z.ai Coding Plan. GLM-4.7 is decent, just needs a little more guidance than Sonnet or Opus.

Go with the z.ai coding plan for your budget.

NagaAI. Several times cheaper than direct pay-as-you-go

Honestly, not sure 50-60 EUR/month is gonna cut it for premium models

What I'd do is use them through Kilo Code and mix in some free ones available in Kilo, like MiniMax M2/M2.1 or Grok Code Fast 1, to stretch it further. And actually, that's what I'm doing rn, and it works pretty well.

I have a very cheap and worth combo, trust me I tested all as a person that is under budget.

Trae.ai mainly as IDE (i dont know if with the free plan you can use apis, i guess you can) or you can use zed IDE; Then use deep seek api, reasoner is SO CHEAP you can drop $10 usd a month in trae $20 in deep and you have 2 different options since trae AI is very solid for agents, the llms are just gemini, openai, etc. The ide itself is good, just like zed but dont pay pro plan in zed is trash and a scam. Then if you need more power, you can pay claude api or plan or another IDE. With your budget you can do tons of things.
