Key takeaways
- Models. OpenCode model choice: Any provider (BYOK). TODO for AI includes Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok on paid plans. Pick the model for each job; let another review the result.
- Benchmark. TODO for AI scored 91.0% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 with Opus 5.5 (high) (own harness, 81/89 tasks, 2026-10-26; not an official leaderboard submission).
- Price. OpenCode pricing: Free, MIT. You pay each provider for tokens. TODO for AI has a free plan (Claude Sonnet only), then Starter $20, Pro $100 or Ultra $200 a month with the supported multi-vendor catalog.
- Shared business work. TODO for AI: Your whole team and its AI agents, on one board. Shared company context, brand voice and memory. AI working in your connected tools, signed-in browser and machines.
- Included usage. One shared pool of credits, with the cloud VM and browser included. Personal session and weekly limits apply. Credit usage depends on the model; see the pricing page for plan details.
- Who should pick which. Pick OpenCode if you want a free MIT tool and have API keys. Pick TODO for AI if you want one plan with a supported multi-vendor model catalog.

Plans and usage limitsWhat OpenCode is, and where it stops
OpenCode is the open-source terminal agent for people who want to own the whole stack. MIT licensed, any provider through your own API keys, a fast TUI, and nothing running anywhere you did not put it. If you already hold keys and like reading source, it is the most hackable option on this list.
You also carry every operational burden. Token bills arrive per provider with no cap, there is no cloud machine, no scheduling, no team roles, and the scope is code. It is a great tool, and a great tool is not a platform.
Developers who want a free, hackable terminal agent and already hold API keys.
Three reasons OpenCode users look elsewhere
Per-token, per-provider, no pooled plan. One runaway loop is a surprise invoice.
Runs on whatever box you are at. Nothing persists, nothing is scheduled.
No roles, approvals or shared usage. Fine for one person, hard for a team.
