What we know about opencode
OpenCode reaches 75+ LLM providers and local models from a single config file, because it resolves every model through the AI SDK and the Models.dev catalogue instead of a hand-written provider list.
“OpenCode uses the AI SDK and Models.dev to support 75+ LLM providers and it supports running local models.”
Explore an unfamiliar codebase before you change it: the built-in plan agent refuses file edits and asks before each bash command.
“**plan** - Read-only agent for analysis and code exploration · - Denies file edits by default · - Asks permission before running bash commands · - Ideal for exploring unfamiliar codebases or planning changes”
Run one task against two vendors' models in the same session: `/connect` adds a provider key and the model picker switches without a restart.
“Add the API keys for the provider using the /connect command.”
Run the agent inside CI on your own runner: mentioning /opencode or /oc on a GitHub issue or pull request executes the task in GitHub Actions.
“OpenCode integrates with your GitHub workflow. Mention /opencode or /oc in your comment, and OpenCode will execute tasks within your GitHub Actions runner.”
A fresh install edits files and runs shell commands with no approval prompt, because every permission except `doom_loop` and `external_directory` starts at allow.
“Most permissions default to "allow".”
Memory grows through a long terminal session: the maintainers opened a central memory thread on 2026-04-02, asked users for heap snapshots taken once the process reaches 1-2 GB, and the thread is still open 139 days later.
“We have scattered reports of memory issues so we are going to tackle them all in a central place.”
`/share` copies the transcript to OpenCode's servers, and the resulting link needs no password.
“Shared conversations are publicly accessible to anyone with the link.”
A team that must lock the agent down before its first run should choose Codex CLI, which starts inside an OS-enforced sandbox with the network switched off.
“By default, the agent runs with network access turned off.”
What opencode costs
OpenCode Go, the optional subscription, costs $5 for the first month and $10 a month after that, and one workspace can hold only one subscriber.
“OpenCode Go is a low cost subscription — $5 for your first month, then $10/month — that gives you reliable access to popular open coding models.”
A workspace can hold only one Go subscriber, so a second developer needs a second workspace.
“Only one member per workspace can subscribe to OpenCode Go.”
What we know about Warp
Warp replaces the terminal itself rather than running inside one, and ships that client as open source — AGPL v3, with the `warpui_core` and `warpui` crates under MIT.
“Warp's UI framework (the `warpui_core` and `warpui` crates) are licensed under the [MIT license](LICENSE-MIT). · The rest of the code in this repository is licensed under the [AGPL v3](LICENSE-AGPL).”
Keep the CLI agent you already use and change only the terminal: Warp runs Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI beside its own agent.
“[Warp](https://www.warp.dev) is an agentic development environment, born out of the terminal. Use Warp's built-in coding agent, or bring your own CLI agent (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and others).”
Budget one developer's agent spend to a flat $20 a month: the Build plan includes 1,500 credits, which Warp prices at $20 of agent usage at API rates.
“1,500 credits ($20 of included agent usage at API rates)”
Roll out to a team of up to 25 with SAML single sign-on and admin data controls, at $50 per user per month.
“For teams scaling AI-powered development (up to 25 seats)”
On the free plan you cannot switch telemetry off and keep the AI; only paid plans can opt out and still use it.
“Telemetry must be enabled to use AI features on the Free plan, while paid plans can opt out at any time and continue using Warp, including AI.”
Warp still will not talk to a local model: the request to support Ollama has been open since 2024-02-26 and carries 1,427 reactions, the most of any issue across these twelve tools.
“Make Warp work with Local Language Models (like Ollama models)”
It is heavy for a terminal you leave open: the memory-usage issue has been open since 2023-02-05 with 126 comments.
“High Memory Usage”
A developer who wants a small binary and a local model should pick Crush or goose; Warp is a full desktop terminal with a cloud account behind it.
“A native desktop app for macOS, Linux, and Windows. A full CLI for terminal workflows. An API to embed it anywhere. Built in Rust for performance and portability.”
What Warp costs
Warp is $0 on Free, $20 per month on Build, $200 per month on Max and $50 per user per month on Business; annual billing takes Build to $18 and Max to $180.
“Start free and scale as your team grows. Simple, transparent pricing with no surprises.”
The Max plan includes 18,000 credits, 12 times the usage included with Build.
“18,000 credits (12× the included usage of Build)”
Questions people ask
- Are opencode and Warp still maintained?
- opencode committed to anomalyco/opencode (dev) on 8 Oct 2026. Warp committed to warpdotdev/warp (master) on 8 Oct 2026. Both readings come from the default branch of each repository, on the date shown beside them.
- What do opencode and Warp cost?
- opencode: OpenCode Go, the optional subscription, costs $5 for the first month and $10 a month after that, and one workspace can hold only one subscriber. A workspace can hold only one Go subscriber, so a second developer needs a second workspace. Warp: Warp is $0 on Free, $20 per month on Build, $200 per month on Max and $50 per user per month on Business; annual billing takes Build to $18 and Max to $180. The Max plan includes 18,000 credits, 12 times the usage included with Build. Every figure here is quoted from the vendor's own page and linked beside the claim.
- Is opencode or Warp open source?
- opencode's repository anomalyco/opencode reports the MIT licence. Warp's repository warpdotdev/warp reports the AGPL-3.0 licence. We read the licence GitHub reports for the repository, which is not the same question as whether the hosted product is free.
How we check this page
- Machine facts. Stars, contributors, the newest commit on the default branch, the licence GitHub reports and the latest stable release come from the GitHub API, and download counts from npm, PyPI, Homebrew and the VS Code Marketplace. Each value carries the day it was last confirmed, never the day this page was built. The line under each label is arithmetic on those two values.
- Judgments. Every claim about what a tool suits, what it is bad at and what it costs is quoted from a page we read, and that page is linked beside the claim. Where there is no link, we wrote no claim.
- Index status. Both opencode and Warp carry claims we read, quoted and linked. So this page is offered to search engines.
