On Free and Go (limited time)
As of 2026-10-07, LongCat 2.5 Preview Free appears in both Zen's free-model table and the Go list, marked free for a limited time. DeepSeek V4 Flash is priced per token on Zen ($0.14 per 1M input) and counts against limits on Go.
After Go cap
Free models still there if you don’t enable balance.
What “Go Free” usually means
As of 2026-10-07, OpenCode's official pages list no plan called Go Free: the Go docs name two monthly plans, Go ($10/month) and Go Plus ($40/month), while the free option is the free models in Zen, at 200 requests a day. People searching "opencode go free" usually want a $0 coding agent, so separate the two first, then decide when an upgrade pays off.
Why it is trending
As of 2026-10-07, the FAQ on OpenCode's official Go page gives the free-model quota: 200 requests a day, with free models including Big Pickle plus the promotional models of the moment. Go instead enforces per-model monthly dollar allowances across rolling windows: 20% per 5 hours, 50% per week and 100% per month.
Timeline
OpenCode's official X account earlier said Flash was on both Free and Go; as of 2026-10-07 the Zen docs list DeepSeek V4 Flash as pay-as-you-go ($0.14 per 1M input).
Go docs updated (page marked Last updated: Oct 6, 2026): Go $10/month, Go Plus $40/month; after Go's limits you can keep using the free models.
Checked against the official Go page FAQ: the free-model quota is 200 requests a day.
Confirmed vs caution
Confirmed
Verifiable as of 2026-10-07: free models at 200 requests a day (Big Pickle plus current promotional models); Go $10/month and Go Plus $40/month; Go limits are per-model monthly dollar amounts; after Go's limits you can continue on free models or enable Use balance to fall back to your Zen balance.
Caution
Two common misconceptions: not every free model id offers a 1M context window, and the free lineup changes with promotions. As of 2026-10-07 the official free quota is 200 requests a day; other precise numbers circulating online mostly come from individual testing, not official commitments.
How to choose
Stay free
Exploration, low stakes, tolerate queues.
Pay Go
Daily driver agent, documented caps, curated serving.
How to use it
Start on the free models → outgrow 200 requests a day → subscribe to Go ($10/month) or Go Plus ($40/month). Connecting is the same /connect in the TUI: pick OpenCode Go and paste your key.
On QCode
QCode is not OpenCode Free: it is a per-token multi-model API key with no free models. One key reaches deepseek-v4.1-flash, glm-5.3, qwen3.8-flash, kimi-k3 and more; see /models for each model's price.
FAQ
Is Flash Free really free?
Free models do cost $0, but with a quota: officially 200 requests a day. As of 2026-10-07, Flash-named entries in Zen's free-model table include MiMo-V2.6-Flash Free and Ling 3.1 Flash Free; DeepSeek V4 Flash is priced per token on Zen and counts against limits on Go.
Go Free a plan name?
No. Official Go has two monthly plans only: Go ($10/month) and Go Plus ($40/month). "Go Free" is mostly a search mashup of Go and the free models.
When do I upgrade?
When 200 free requests a day are not enough, or you want a fixed model lineup with documented per-model limits; if you need more still, look at Go Plus.
Same model quality?
Should be same family; serving/ctx/queue can differ. Verify.
Need a card for Free?
Free tiers generally do not include those guarantees. The terms shown on the signup page at the time you register are what actually apply.
Zen balance vs Go?
Per the docs: with Use balance enabled in the console, Go falls back to your Zen balance after you reach its limits instead of blocking requests. That is a different lever from the free models.

Outgrowing a daily quota?
