I Cut My AI Coding Bill From $200 a Month to $10. Here’s How

I was spending close to $200 a month on AI coding tools. Not because I’m doing anything fancy. Just normal agentic coding, a few sessions a day, some automation work. The bills added up fast.

Then I switched to OpenCode Go. It’s $10 a month. That’s the whole thing. No per-token meter running up in the background, no surprise overage charges at the end of the month.

Here’s the part that surprised me. I didn’t lose anything by switching. The models are open-source and capable. DeepSeek, Qwen, Grok, GLM, Kimi. They handle the same agentic coding work I was doing before. The execution speed has been solid, and the reliability has been there when I need it.

I run it plugged right into OpenWork alongside my n8n workflows. It just works.

If you’re paying $20, $100, or $200 a month for a coding subscription, do the math on what you actually use. A flat $10 might cover it.

OpenCode Go is $5 for your first month, then $10. Cancel anytime.
