How OpenCode usage is billed

No universal monthly total is shown when access and model usage follow separate billing paths.

  • The open-source client does not establish the cost of the selected model provider.
  • OpenCode Zen is optional; direct provider and local-model paths have separate billing.
  • Compare model rates and expected agent loops before estimating monthly cost.

StackLens assessment

Workflow fit to test

  • Terminal agent: worth testing with representative repository work before rollout.
  • Multi-provider: worth testing with representative repository work before rollout.
  • Local models: worth testing with representative repository work before rollout.
  • Subagents: worth testing with representative repository work before rollout.

Do not treat workflow labels as a productivity conclusion.

Verified team notes

Administration and privacy review

  • Configuration can be committed with a repository
  • Agent and command permissions can be scoped by pattern
  • Provider credentials and selected execution paths determine where prompts and code are processed.
Limits and caveats

What to verify before rollout

Public limits and plan terms can change.

  • Software access and model usage are separate cost layers.
  • Provider support does not mean every model has identical tool behavior.
  • Local models require user-supplied hardware and setup.
