CommandCode vs ZenMux
CommandCode is a coding-agent platform whose plans cover the broadest model catalog we track — from budget open-weight models to the frontier flagships of every major lab.ZenMux is a model-gateway subscription — three Builder tiers over a 16-model tracked roster, with the remaining 124 of its 140-model catalog listed on the provider's site; served to any OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible agent with no CLI lock.

Common questions
Which is cheaper: CommandCode or ZenMux?
CommandCode starts at $1/mo (Go) and ZenMux at $20/mo (Builder Starter). The cheapest plan is not always the best value — compare Req/$1 in the calculator.
How many models do CommandCode and ZenMux share?
15 shared models: DeepSeek V4 Pro, MiniMax M3, Qwen3.8-Max, Kimi K3, GLM-5.3, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and more. Every shared model is listed in the evidence table below with its best Req/$1 on each side.
Which plan prices DeepSeek V4 Pro best?
CommandCode Go at 2,088 Req/$1 — ZenMux best is 348 on Builder Max.
Can I use CommandCode or ZenMux with any agent (BYOK)?
some CommandCode plans are open BYOK and others are tool-locked; ZenMux plans expose OpenAI-compatible endpoints usable by any agent (BYOK).
What does Req/$1 mean?
Req/$1 is the number of typical coding requests one dollar buys on a plan — computed from the plan’s published budget, the model’s published per-token rates and a typical request shape (roughly 850 input tokens, 49,000 cached tokens, 160 output tokens where the provider publishes no shape). Proxy estimates are marked with ~. A figure marked ≥ is a cache floor: the plan publishes no cached-read rate, so cached tokens bill at the input rate and the real figure is that number or higher.
