OpenCode Go vs Ollama Cloud
They are not the same shape. OpenCode Go is a subscription that gives OpenCode users an API key for selected open coding models; Ollama Pro and Max raise limits on cloud-hosted models alongside Ollama's free local runtime. The useful answer is not a fake winner: choose based on whether you need Go's selected hosted models in OpenCode, or Ollama's local-first runtime and cloud fallback.
OpenCode Go vs Ollama Cloud: which plan fits?
This decision aid compares your pace with OpenCode's published observed-pattern request estimates. It is not a quota predictor, and Ollama does not publish fixed cloud request allowances.
Recommendation
Either can work for hosted use. Pick Go for its selected OpenCode models and published limits; pick Ollama for its local-runtime path plus cloud option.
Enter a positive daily request pace or agent-use hours that would reach a published estimate within its reset window. Zero, non-finite, or very light activity has no meaningful estimate.
OpenCode publishes $12 / 5 hours, $30 / week, and $60 / month as dollar usage caps, while publishing only model-specific estimated request counts. It does not publish a per-request Go price, so this tool cannot and does not derive one. The estimates are not guarantees.
Ollama comparison: Free is $0, Pro is $20/mo or $200/yr, and its cloud usage varies by plan and model rather than a fixed published request count. Local hardware use is always unlimited according to Ollama's pricing page.

OpenCode Go vs Ollama Cloud: published facts
The two plans have different roles: Go is selected hosted-model access in OpenCode, while Ollama combines a free local runtime with optional cloud limits.
| Topic | OpenCode Go | Ollama |
|---|---|---|
| Subscription price | $5 first month, then $10/month | Free $0; Pro $20/mo or $200/yr; Max $100/mo (new sign-ups paused); Team $25/seat/mo, five-seat minimum = $125/mo minimum, Coming soon; Enterprise custom. |
| Limits | $12 of usage / 5 hours; $30/week; $60/month. Dollar value, not a fixed request count. | Cloud usage varies by plan and model; session limits reset every 5 hours and weekly limits every 7 days. Local hardware use is always unlimited. |
| Product shape | Subscribe, copy the API key, then use selected Go models in OpenCode. Optional: OpenCode itself does not require Go. | Cloud models are offloaded to Ollama's cloud while keeping local tools; direct cloud API access is also documented. |
| Models / hosting | Published list below; hosted in the US, EU and Singapore. List may change. | Cloud-enabled model library; documentation uses gpt-oss:120b-cloud as an example. Pricing says cloud resources are primarily in the United States, with global demand served beyond that. |
| Team rule | Only one member per workspace can subscribe. | Team is Coming soon; its listed minimum is five seats. |
Table sources, read 2026-07-29: OpenCode Go documentation supports every figure and statement in the Go column; Ollama pricing supports the Ollama price, plan, limit, and team entries; Ollama Cloud documentation supports its cloud workflow and model-library entries. Availability, pricing, and limits can change.
OpenCode Go vs Ollama Cloud: what Go caps mean
OpenCode publishes dollar caps, so request counts depend on model and token pattern. The figures below are its estimates based on observed token patterns, not guarantees. The widget compares your pace with all three published request estimates; it does not convert any estimate into a made-up dollar rate.
| Go model | Est. / 5h | Est. / week | Est. / month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grok 4.5 | 120 | 300 | 600 |
| GLM-5.2 | 880 | 2,150 | 4,300 |
| GLM-5.1 | 880 | 2,150 | 4,300 |
| Kimi K3 | 110 | 250 | 490 |
| Kimi K2.7 Code | 1,350 | 3,380 | 6,750 |
| Kimi K2.6 | 1,150 | 2,880 | 5,750 |

| MiMo-V2.5-Pro | 3,250 | 8,150 | 16,300 |

| Qwen3.7 Plus | 4,300 | 10,800 | 21,600 |
| Qwen3.6 Plus | 3,300 | 8,200 | 16,300 |
| DeepSeek V4 Pro | 3,450 | 8,550 | 17,150 |
| DeepSeek V4 Flash | 31,650 | 79,050 | 158,150 |
| Hy3 | 4,300 | 10,750 | 21,500 |
All caps and request estimates in this table come from the OpenCode Go documentation, read 2026-07-29; they are observed-pattern estimates and may change.
When neither is right
For unusually high or variable production volume, neither subscription is a substitute for measuring tokens and choosing raw API billing. Use the LLM API token cost calculator to model an API workload. If your deciding constraint is whether local inference is practical, start with the self-hosted AI hardware calculator. For OpenCode setup and the broader single-product view, read our OpenCode terminal coding review.
FAQ
- Is OpenCode Go the same kind of product as Ollama Cloud?
- No. OpenCode Go is a subscription that supplies an API key for selected open coding models inside OpenCode. Ollama has a free local runtime and separately offers cloud-hosted models with subscription-based cloud limits. Compare the workflow and limit model before comparing a monthly price.
- What happens when OpenCode Go reaches a cap?
- OpenCode says its Go limits are denominated in dollars of usage. Its documentation says users can continue using free models, and can optionally use a Zen balance after reaching Go limits.
- Does Ollama Free mean unlimited cloud usage?
- No. Ollama says running on your own hardware is always unlimited; cloud usage varies by plan and has session and weekly limits. Its pricing page does not state a fixed request count for the Free cloud tier.
- Can a team subscribe to OpenCode Go?
- OpenCode states that only one member per workspace can subscribe to Go. Ollama lists Team at $25 per seat per month with a five-seat minimum, but labels it Coming soon.
