OpenCode added a Go Plus tier at $40 per month with roughly triple Go's per-five-hour request limits; we list it at a conservative double Go's hours until lived reports arrive. source
MiniMax's Token Plan now deducts by actual usage from one shared quota pool; the vendor says Plus keeps its five-hour usage plus eight percent, so the listed hours stay put for now. source

Quality is now a public benchmark instead of a grade: each plan is mapped to the nearest measured model on SWE-rebench (swe-rebench.com, run by Nebius) and scored on its pass rate across your whole week, not just the best plan's grade. Plans with no benchmark row (Cursor, Copilot) or only old data (Qwen) are listed but not ranked. source
Stacks within a point of the best score now count as a tie, and the cheapest one is shown as #1, so spending more has to buy something.

Added SuperGrok Heavy + Build at $300/mo (grok.com/plans); xAI publishes no usage multiplier, so its hours are tagged guessed. source
GLM Pro is now $80/mo (was $76) and GLM Max $168/mo (was $120), per Z.ai's monthly pricing page; hours unchanged. source
