OpenCode Go vs Qwen Coding Plan
A 5-hour dollar cap against a 7-day credit window — the same monthly budget behaves completely differently.
Updated August 28, 2026 · Independent comparison — OpenCode Go, Qwen Coding Plan are separate products.
OpenCode Go
OpenCode's $10 open-model subscription
OpenCode Go is a $10/month subscription provider for OpenCode, the open-source terminal-first coding agent. Unlike most passes it publishes its caps in dollars: $12 of usage per 5 hours, $30 per week and $60 per month, alongside per-model request estimates. It covers 24 open and semi-open models and issues an API key that also works outside OpenCode. When you exhaust the cap you are not cut off — you drop to the free models, or spill into a prepaid OpenCode Zen balance if you enable 'Use balance' in the console.
Qwen Coding Plan
Alibaba's Qwen3.8 credit subscription
The Qwen Coding Plan — now sold as the QwenCloud Token Plan — is Alibaba's credit subscription for driving coding agents with Qwen3.8 Max and friends. It is unusual in two ways: the personal quota window is 7 days rather than the 5-hour window most rivals use, and the credit pool also covers non-text models (image, TTS, realtime audio) plus third-party weights like GLM-5.2 and DeepSeek V4. It issues a dedicated sk-sp- key that is not interchangeable with pay-as-you-go keys, and the plan documents a recommended concurrent-agent count per tier. Inference runs out of Singapore.
Bottom line
A 5-hour dollar cap against a 7-day credit window — the same monthly budget behaves completely differently. Choose OpenCode Go if your work is steady rather than bursty, and a 5-hour window never bites; choose Qwen Coding Plan if your work comes in bursts — a 7-day window absorbs a heavy Saturday that a 5-hour cap would not.
