Throttling, off-peak, rollover, and cache writes are not modeled. Where a provider publishes no cached-read price, cached tokens bill at the input rate — those req / $1 figures are floors.

Markers: ~ proxy estimate, ≈ coarse estimate, and ≥ cache floor. A floor means the plan publishes no cached-read rate, so cached tokens bill at the input rate and the real figure is this or higher. Borrowed cap means the budget is a published API cap at list price, so Req / $1 is a value comparison rather than a measured allowance.

What real work costs

What Claude Opus 5 costs on real coding tasks

Illustrative cost of common coding tasks on the best-priced plans above, scaled from each plan's live per-request price to a task-typical token volume. Task token assumptions are shared ~proxy estimates — real tasks vary, and they are never per-provider shapes.

Per-task cost = the plan's effective 50,010-token request price scaled to each task's token volume at the same shape mix. ~ = proxy estimate — shared task-token assumptions, not a quote. “n/a” = Claude Opus 5 unpriced on that plan.

Common questions

How many requests per $1 do I get on Claude Opus 5?

The best plan pricing Claude Opus 5 delivers 61 Req/$1 at the model's typical request shape — on Cursor Ultra. Figures are exact confidence: they are computed from published rates and usage caps, proxy estimates are marked with a ~, and borrowed-cap plans use a published API cap at list price, so their Req/$1 is a value comparison rather than a measured allowance.

What's the cheapest plan with Claude Opus 5?

Ozore Basic at $10/mo. The cheapest plan is not always the best value — check Req/$1 above.

Which plans include Claude Opus 5?

20 tracked plans across 7 providers price it: Standard Compute (Starter, Economy, Standard and Pro), CommandCode (Max 10×, Max 20× and Provider), Cursor (Pro, Pro+ and Ultra), LLM Gateway DevPass (Lite, Pro and Max), Nous Portal (Plus, Super and Ultra), GitHub Copilot (Pro+ and Max) and Ozore (Basic and Pro). The calculator compares every tracked monthly plan that prices it.

Where does Claude Opus 5 rank on the Agent Arena leaderboard?

#3 (High config) on the Agent Arena agent leaderboard — 10.25% net improvement (board fetched 2026-09-21). Ranks are scraped from https://arena.ai/leaderboard/agent, never typed by hand.

What is Claude Opus 5?

Claude Opus 5 is Anthropic’s text generation model for agentic coding and reasoning (family: claude, kind: text), designed for complex multi-step agent tasks. It was the top of the Claude Opus line until Claude Opus 5.5 succeeded it on 2026-09-22.

Is Claude Opus 5 open-weight?

No — Claude Opus 5 is a proprietary model, so unlike open-weight models such as GLM-5.3 it is only reachable through provider endpoints; you cannot self-host it or access the weights.

Can I use Claude Opus 5 with any agent (BYOK)?

Yes — several tracked plans expose Claude Opus 5 through OpenAI-compatible endpoints with no CLI lock, so you can use it with Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, or any agent that supports custom model endpoints. Some plans are IDE-locked, but there are open BYOK alternatives.

What is Claude Opus 5 best used for?

Claude Opus 5 is the frontier pick for complex, multi-step agent workflows and deep reasoning — not a budget-throughput model like DeepSeek V4 Flash.
