Why AI Coding Agent Costs Matter Right Now

OpenCode 2.0 landed on Product Hunt with 241 upvotes and only 11 comments, and that gap is the whole story. Hundreds of developers are watching open source coding agents closely, but almost nobody has done the boring arithmetic of what these tools cost once a team actually depends on them. Meanwhile the same Product Hunt front page carried Fina Business pitching itself as a $20/month QuickBooks replacement and Kudos promising to find money you lost. The theme of the day is not "more AI" — it is "cheaper alternatives to the AI and software you already pay for."

Existing solutions do not answer the question developers are actually asking. Vendor pricing pages only describe themselves, so a Cursor page never tells you what Claude Code would cost for your workload. Comparison blogs go stale within weeks because token prices and seat minimums move constantly, and they never account for your real input and output token mix. Reddit threads have the raw signal but no structure — you scroll forty comments and still cannot tell whether switching saves $40 or $400 a month. Nobody is turning your usage into your number.

This is the right moment because the choice set just got real. OpenCode is open source, self-hostable and model-agnostic, which means for the first time a team can swap a $20-per-seat subscription for an API key and a local model. That option only looks attractive or absurd once you price it against your own token volume. The signal is hot, the alternatives are multiplying, and the decision is being made this quarter by people who are already reading the comments. A calculator that answers "what would I pay" is the smallest useful thing to build today.

How It Works

1

Describe your usage

Tell us your monthly input and output token volume, your team size, and whether you are willing to self-host a model. Three fields, no account, no code upload, and nothing leaves your browser.

2

Price four stacks

The calculator applies current per-token and per-seat pricing to Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode running DeepSeek or Qwen, then shows each monthly total side by side.

3

Read the verdict

You get one plain sentence: which stack is cheapest for your exact workload, how much you save per year, and how many months of self-hosting effort it takes to break even.

What You Get

Your usage, your number

Every figure is computed from the token volume you enter, not from a vendor's headline price. Two developers on the same plan can see wildly different monthly totals, and the calculator shows you which one you are.

Self-hosting included

Most comparisons quietly ignore the open source option. We price OpenCode against hosted API models such as DeepSeek and Qwen, so you can see whether running your own agent is genuinely cheaper or just feels cheaper.

Open and auditable

The page is open source and every price constant sits in a readable object with a last-updated date. If a vendor changes its pricing, you can see exactly what we assumed and file an issue instead of trusting a black box.
