OpenCode Go vs Command Code GOAT: two low-cost coding plans
Both plans cost the same and share almost every model family, yet each wins on half the catalog. Compare quotas and a typical workload's monthly cost.
Two coding-agent subscriptions target the same monthly price. Both grant a monthly quota spent at published per-token rates, and they overlap on almost every model. The real difference is how far that quota goes.
What each plan includes
Each plan publishes a monthly quota per model: the dollar value of listed usage the plan covers. A larger quota means a lower effective rate per token. The two plans overlap heavily: almost every model on one is also on the other.
The live table lists every model, its listed rates and its monthly quota per plan:

Head to head
The card names the plan that grants the better average value per dollar: the monthly quota divided by the subscription price, averaged across the models both plans carry (how that works). Below it, each shared model gets two bars: the longer bar is the plan with the larger quota per dollar, and a star marks it. Switch to Absolute quota (available because both plans price their quota in dollars) to compare the raw monthly quotas, or to Peak value for each plan's single most generous model. Filter to the models one plan wins, and turn off promo prices to compare without the current deals.

The bar splits each model's value per dollar — the plan's monthly model quota ÷ its subscription price: OpenCode Go · Command Code GOAT. The logo is the plan with the higher value; the +% is the gap (— on a draw).
Catalogs: 32 model families on OpenCode Go, 66 on Command Code GOAT, 7 only on OpenCode Go, 41 only on Command Code GOAT. Models on one plan only are not compared.
These figures use promotional rates or quotas. They change when the promo ends — confirm current pricing before you decide.

- MiniMax M3 — Discounted rate
Best case: it assumes you consume the full monthly quota on the model, which is also the best case for value per dollar. Peak/off-peak tiers appear as separate models; a promo can flip the result.
The two plans are close: each wins a similar number of models, so the choice comes down to the models you actually use.
For a typical workload
A raw quota does not tell you what a month costs. The calculator below values one typical workload against both plans. It uses the same prompt mix as the subscription guide, plus a fast model for bulk work. The calculator spends each plan's quota at the listed rates and bills usage above it at each plan's own fallback route. Set the mix to your own month. Add, remove and edit models as you see fit.

Both plans cost the same, so the curves share the segment inside the quota.
Pay as you go would cost $495.5 for this mix. A plan grants one monthly pool, drawn in the order listed: each model spends its usage ÷ its quota, capped by what is left, and usage beyond the pool is paid outside the plan at the listed rate.

▾ How the graph is calculated
Each plan draws one curve: the average cost per 1M tokens as the mix scales up. Inside the quota the average is that plan's monthly subscription fee divided by the tokens used, so it falls and reaches the plan's effective rate at its quota limit. Above the limit the extra tokens are paid outside the plan at the overflow base chosen in Options — each plan's own fallback route, the pay-as-you-go market its gateway publishes (the listed rate where there is none), its cheapest pay-as-you-go rate, or the cheaper of the offered bases — so both curves follow that base.
Each plan grants one monthly pool: each model's allowance is that same pool restated at its rates — dollars for a dollar-credit plan, credits for a token-credit plan — and it is allocated in the model order shown, so a different order or blend moves the curve. A token type a plan does not price still counts in the volume but adds no cost. The token axis is logarithmic, so a wide range of usage fits on one chart.
Each plan's listed rate is a horizontal reference, drawn once as a shared neutral line when the two rates match. The pay-as-you-go line is the shared cheapest real rate per model (fee included; sales tax excluded) — an exact variant match when a pay-as-you-go gateway publishes it, otherwise the model's nearest published row — so it can combine more than one gateway. When it equals the cheaper listed rate the chart drops it.
Only the cheaper plan for the mix carries the markers: the quota usage break-even is where its average meets the cheaper reference, the plan break-even is where it starts to beat it, and loses to the cheapest is where it stops. The shaded band is where the cheaper plan beats the cheapest reference, split at that plan's quota limit: solid up to it, fainter beyond. The your mix guide is shared by both plans at your stated usage, labelled with its monthly token volume, with a horizontal guide at the average cost of the cheaper plan per 1M. Each quota limit is a dashed vertical line.

Summary
The plans are close on price and on catalog. Command Code GOAT carries more model families, but the per-model quota decides which is cheaper for the work you do. Check your main model in the chart above, then confirm the live rate in the live table.
Frequently asked questions
Which plan is cheaper?
They share a monthly price and overlap on models, so it depends on which models you use. The head-to-head card names the plan with the higher average value per dollar across the models both plans carry.
What actually differs between them?
The published monthly quota per model. A larger quota means a lower effective rate for the same subscription.
Do both plans carry the same models?
They overlap on almost every model family, and each wins on about half the catalog.
Can I compare them on my own workload?
Yes. The plan comparison calculator values one monthly workload against both plans.
