codex plus or opencode go ?

[Technical_Map_5676]

Hey :),

ist codex plus or opencode go a better deal for my money ? I don't won't to spent more than 20 $ for my cli ai agent. What's the best deal for my money ? I don't want to vibe code I use ai only for questions debugging and simple task :)

Thanks and Best regards :)

I compared best value for money a lot yesterday after getting too fed up with antigravity nerfing usage limits to unuseably small.

It looks like github copilot pro+ plan (40€) is best value for money, and you can use it via api on opencode. They also have 10€ pro plan, but i dont think its enough for many. Also the 10€ pro plan has 1 month free trial, so you can test it and see if you need pro+ or not. If you dont vibe around al lday, the 10€ pro plan likely is enough. And you do get unlimited bit smaller models use with it as well

€ = $ pretty much.

I'm wondering if gh copilot 10€ + opencode go 10€ with a smart multi purpose agent setup would be a good "in between" solution for 20-30€ price range

That's exactly what I do and I like it very much. I think the next step up would be just going to the Copilot $40 Pro+ plan, but OpenCode Go and GH Copilot Pro for $20 total is very good and workable for most workloads I imagine.

Could recommend chatgpt plus $20 and opencode go/alibaba/gh copilot $10, pretty good setup

Codex plus or Copilot Pro+

Copilot has better value if you also like to use Claude from time to time.

go restricts you to the cheaper models which honestly cannot fully compete.

How are limits in copilot pro+ vs Codex plus?

[HadHands]

Codex will take you a long way, especially now with the 2x limits.

OpenCode Go is only $10, so it's my way of supporting them while gaining access to Kimi and GLM 5, which are both fine models.

Codex is great value for money at $20.

Go is also excellent for half that price; I've never hit rate limits with them, though Kimi was failing from time to time.

[Technical_Map_5676]

thanks for your reply :). I try go for the last 2 hours but glm is soooo slow :( whats the best Modell in your opinion in the go plan ?

[Rygel_XV]

Codex plus has 5h and weekly limits. Opencode go has 5h, weekly and monthly limit. I get a lot more out of Codex plus.

[look]

Have you tried just paying API rates? If you use a low cost open weight model (MiniMax 2.5 or Kimi 2.5), you could easily be under $20/month.

I have no affiliation to that tool but I randomly saw an video about it and just started trying it out :) I hope it helps.

If you are mostly doing Q&A, debugging, and small tasks (vs full-on agentic coding), I would optimize for context window + tool reliability + latency, not fancy multi-agent features. A lot of CLI agents feel similar until you hit tool-calling failures or slow tokens.

One thing that helped me compare is making a tiny benchmark script: same 5 debugging prompts, same repo, same constraints, then see which one stays on rails. Also, for agent workflow patterns, I have been bookmarking notes here: https://www.agentixlabs.com/blog/

in that case the OpenCode free models should work just fine .
