Nous Portal vs OpenCode Go

For a Hermes user weighing cost: OpenCode Go's up-to-8x open-weight multiple massively outvalues Nous Portal's ~1.1x credits on raw inference, but Portal bundles frontier models and managed tools that Go doesn't. Cheapest tokens for Hermes: OpenCode Go. Fullest Hermes-native platform: Nous Portal.

Facts verified 2026-10-14
Nous Portal
$20 / $100 / $200 per mo
Models: Hundreds of models (tier cards say 200+, the catalog 300+): Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, MiniMax, Grok…
What "flat" means: Fixed price buying 1.1x its value in credits ($22 / $110 / $220), with unused credit rolling over up to $10 / $50 / $100, plus a tool gateway (web search, scraping, image generation, browser use, speech) priced per use from the same credits.
The catch: A ~1.1x credit multiple, and tools draw on the same credits: value comes from Hermes-native auth and breadth, not raw inference discount. An eligible ChatGPT plan can be connected for inference instead.
Pick Nous Portal when
+You run Hermes Agent and want its native subscription with one auth flow
+You value managed tools (web search, image, speech, browser) billed from the same credits as inference
+Broad frontier + open model access matters more than lowest cost-per-token

OpenCode Go
$10/mo (Go Plus $40/mo)
Models: 31 models, mostly open-weight (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, Qwen3.8, GLM-5.3, Kimi K3, MiniMax M3) plus Grok, GPT-6 Luna and Claude Haiku 5.5
What "flat" means: Fixed price with a monthly dollar limit that varies by model (on Go: $15 of GLM-5.3 or Kimi K3, $60 of MiniMax M3, $80 of DeepSeek V4.1 Flash), metered at model token rates.
The catch: Tight windows on every model: 20% of the monthly limit per 5 hours and 50% per week (a $60 model caps at $12 per 5 hours and $30 per week). Premium models such as Kimi K3, Claude Haiku 5.5 and GPT-6 Luna get only $15 a month on Go. Single-member workspaces only, and traffic must look like a coding agent.
Pick OpenCode Go when
+You run mostly open-weight models and want the cheapest entry price ($10/mo)
+Your usage fits inside $30/week (moderate, not always-on)
+You want a plan built by OpenCode that also works with Hermes and OpenClaw

This comparison is maintained by Standard Compute. We sell a third thing entirely (flat-rate LLM compute with a fixed monthly budget, from $19/mo), so we have no horse in this particular race and keep both sides honest.
