Best API for Hermes Agent
Full guide →For Hermes Agent, the cheapest tokens come from OpenCode Go ($10 → ~$60 of open-weight usage) which Hermes supports natively; Nous Portal is the most seamless Hermes-native option but pays for convenience, not cheap inference. If your Hermes agent runs always-on and keeps hitting the weekly caps, Standard Compute is the only pick with no usage limits at all — flat price, no windows, frontier models.
Best API for OpenCode
Full guide →OpenCode's own plan, OpenCode Go ($10 → ~$60 usage), is the natural cheapest-tokens pick — it's built for OpenCode and bundles 12 open-weight models. For always-on or big-context work that would exceed Go's $30/week window, Standard Compute is the no-usage-limit alternative (frontier models, no meter). GitHub Copilot Pro is the cheap route if you specifically want GPT/Claude/Gemini.
Best API for OpenClaw
Full guide →OpenClaw runs background heartbeats and scheduled skills around the clock, so cost-per-dollar and cap headroom matter more than for interactive tools. OpenCode Go's ~6x multiple is the cheapest for moderate use, but a truly always-on OpenClaw setup is the textbook case for Standard Compute's no-usage-limit flat-rate — the meter never runs.
Best API for Cline
Full guide →For Cline, match the plan to your volume: GitHub Copilot Pro ($10) if you want cheap frontier access lightly, OpenCode Go ($10 → ~$60) for the best open-weight value, GLM Coding Plan if GLM-5.2 covers you. For heavy multi-file work that would exhaust any capped plan, Standard Compute has no usage limits and no windows.
Best API for Aider
Full guide →Aider is already lean, so the plan choice is mostly about model access: OpenCode Go for cheap open-weight value, GitHub Copilot Pro or OpenRouter for frontier models pay-as-you-go. If you run Aider heavily across big repos, Standard Compute's no-usage-limit flat-rate caps the bill.
Best API for OpenAI Codex CLI
Full guide →Codex CLI is provider-agnostic, so you're not locked to a ChatGPT plan. A ChatGPT Plus/Pro subscription authenticates natively; for cheaper volume or no usage limits, point Codex CLI's config at OpenCode Go, OpenRouter, or Standard Compute. If you run Codex tasks in parallel all day, Standard Compute's no-usage-limit flat-rate avoids the window multiplication.
Best API for Pi
Full guide →Pi supports 30+ providers, so any of these work via its models.json. OpenCode Go gives the best open-weight value; Standard Compute is the no-usage-limit pick if Pi is your daily driver. Pi's lean context makes cheaper models go further than in heavier agents.
Best API for Oh My Pi
Full guide →omp's intent routing (default/smol/slow/plan) pairs well with a cheap-model plan for the smol slot. OpenCode Go covers the open-weight tiers cheaply; Standard Compute is the no-usage-limit option for its heavier default/plan slots when you run it all day. Declare either in models.yml.
Best API for Roo Code
Full guide →Roo Code is bring-your-own-key with any OpenAI-compatible provider, and its mode system (Architect, Code, Debug, custom modes) tends to multiply usage — an architect pass plus a code pass plus a debug loop is three model bills for one task. OpenCode Go gives the best open-weight value for moderate use; GitHub Copilot Pro is the cheap frontier route. If Roo Code is your daily driver and the multi-mode passes keep eating capped plans, Standard Compute removes the meter — flat price, no usage limits, no windows.
Best API for Kilo Code
Full guide →Kilo Code takes any OpenAI-compatible API, so the plan question is pure economics. GitHub Copilot Pro ($10) is the cheapest way to get frontier models for lighter in-editor use; OpenCode Go ($10 → ~$60 of open-weight usage) stretches furthest per dollar. For heavy multi-file refactoring sessions that chew through capped plans, Standard Compute is the no-usage-limits option — one flat price, no 5-hour or weekly windows.
Best API for Continue
Full guide →Continue splits into two usage shapes with different right answers. Autocomplete fires constantly with small requests — a local model (Ollama) handles it free and fast, and Continue supports that natively. Chat and inline edits want stronger models: OpenCode Go covers open-weight value, GitHub Copilot Pro covers cheap frontier. If you run Continue's chat/edit heavily all day and want one bill for everything, Standard Compute has no usage limits at a flat price.
