Google AI Pro at $5/mo vs GPT Plus vs OpenCode Go: a coder's comparison
Old-Dish-7104 · reddit · 2026-09-04
A Reddit user compares coding-focused AI subscriptions and asks for advice:
- Google AI Pro: $60/year ($5/mo). Gemini 3.8 hits its 5-hour limit in Antigravity within 2-3 hours, but acceptable; praised for tool calling and work verification, though it hallucinates on easy tasks.
- GPT Plus: $20/mo, barely used.
- OpenCode Go: $10/mo, best TUI but "no good models" left in it.
Model impressions: DeepSeek V4 Flash has poor long-context retention; Muse Spark ignores instructions and duplicates function names; GPT 5.6 Luna slightly worse than D4F.
