OpenCode Go vs GLM Coding Lite

Short answer. OpenCode Go costs $10 a month and GLM Coding Lite $18 ($12.60 a month billed annually). OpenCode Go is a menu: 28 models from several labs, each with its own monthly dollar cap. GLM Coding Lite is Z.ai's own GLM models only, metered in credits (2,000 credits/5h; 10,000 credits/week); Z.ai does not say how many requests a credit buys, so the allowances cannot be compared directly. What decides it is how much GLM you use. On OpenCode Go, GLM-5.3 has a $15 monthly cap, about 220 requests per five hours by OpenCode's estimate, and in our benchmark one agent working nonstop spent its five-hour share in 10 minutes. If GLM is your main model, take GLM Coding Lite; if you switch between labs, OpenCode Go is cheaper and broader.
