Key Points

  • Claude Code has been removed from the Claude Pro plan, prompting users to consider alternatives.
  • A Reddit commenter argues it may be a good time to switch to local models or other coding plan options to get more tokens for similar costs.
  • The post suggests OpenCode Go as a $20/month option (with lower pricing for the first month) and claims it can provide token volume comparable to a much more expensive plan.
  • It also recommends running Qwen 3.6 35B (A3B) on a local PC, depending on having a sufficiently capable GPU.
  • Overall, the article frames the plan change as an opportunity to move toward local LLMs and more cost-effective token usage for coding workflows.

Time to switch to Kimi k2.6 guys if you haven't already.

For $20 a month you can buy the OpenCode Go coding plan (its actually $5 for the first month then $10) which gives you many more tokens on models like Kimi K2.6, and then you can pay for the rest of the usage. So for $20 a month of tokens of Kimi K2.6 you're basically getting the equivalent amount of tokens of the $100 plan.

You can also use Qwen 3.6 35B A3B, which you can run on your local PC (as long as you have a decent graphics card).
