Our take

Last updated 4 November 2026

OpenCode is a free, open-source AI coding agent that runs in the terminal, as a desktop app or as an IDE extension. It includes some free models, works with your GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT Plus/Pro account, and connects to 75+ providers, including local models. The optional OpenCode Go subscription starts at $10 a month.

Best for Indie developers who want a flexible coding agent without locking into one AI vendor.

Pros

  • Free and open source.
  • Use almost any model, including local ones.
  • Can reuse a Copilot or ChatGPT subscription you already have.

Cons

  • Free models have usage limits.
  • Terminal-first workflow is not for everyone.
  • Quality depends on the model you connect.
