Three $10 plans compared.
Last post I mentioned broker sites for flagship models, where you can get pricing down to about a tenth of list. Still too rich for subagents or anything you run all day.
For normal use, unless you're doing development or research, I keep landing on the ~30 tier of Artificial Analysis: deepseek-v4.1-flash. Step up to ~40, which is Kimi K3.1 Pro, and the price goes 10x.
For DS itself, these three subscriptions are the cheapest route today. OpenDesign Go says $120 of usage, OpenCode Go and Command Code GOAT say $100.
Those aren't the same number though. OpenDesign's $120 is one pool shared by 12 models, with a $10 cap per 5 hours. The other two give DS its own allowance and $20 per 5 hours.
