> I've yet to find a way to run it on a monthly sub reliably for cheaper than Codex.

Matches my experience, I got their Pro subscription and while I enjoyed the model itself a lot and while their ZCode harness is also pretty nice, it gave me less tokens for similar amounts of money that Anthropic would give me on a subscription: https://blog.kronis.dev/blog/z-ai-s-glm-5-2-is-a-great-model...

I'm yet to try out Kimi, but if their subscription were to be anywhere comparable to Anthropic/OpenAI, I might just switch over because competition is good.

DeepSeek V4 Pro is really affordable per-token but regularly kept making mistakes in the tasks I gave it. I mean I could at least afford the tokens to go over the work a 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th time and gradually fix most of the issues, but it was a very frustrating mode of work.
