Overview
Developers who already pay for ChatGPT or GitHub Copilot can connect those subscriptions, spin up parallel agent sessions and share session links when collaborating. Optional OpenCode Go subscriptions and Zen pay-as-you-go balances exist for people who want curated model access without managing every provider key themselves. The core agent remains free and open source; paid layers are about model routing and quota convenience. Limitation: free models and BYO keys still incur provider costs outside OpenCode, and Go/Zen fees apply if you rely on their hosted catalogs. Treat agent patches like any Junior engineer work—tests and review remain mandatory.
