Claude Code smart router for multi-tokenplan routing

🔁 CC‑TPR – Claude Code Token Plan Router

Make your Claude Code work 10x harder. Nonstop. Same intelligence.

👉 This router offers more than 10x the mileage and about 95% of the performance of Claude Pro at only $28 per month.

This router lets Claude Code use Minimax M2.7 (beats Sonnet 4.6 on SWE‑bench) and ZAI GLM-5.1 (ties/beats Opus 4.6 on hardest coding benchmarks) – while automatically routing to DeepSeek V4 Pro (1M context) when your context approaches 200k tokens.

💰 Real cost breakdown (no hidden maths)

Plan	Monthly cost	Notes
Claude Pro (Sonnet + Opus)	$20	Low usage ceiling
MiniMax Starter (M2.7)	$10	1,500 requests / 5h
Z.AI Lite (GLM‑5.1)	$18	~80 prompts / 5h
Subtotal (replaces Claude Pro)	$28	Costs $8 more, return 10x more usage than Claude Pro
DeepSeek V4 Pro (1M context)	$0/month + initial $2 min.	Pay as you use – typical <$2/month

Important: DeepSeek V4 Pro is not included in the $28. A minimum first‑time payment of $2 is required to access the model. After that, you pay only for what you use – no monthly subscription. For most users, that $2 lasts for months.

So your monthly commitment is $28 (MiniMax + Z.AI). DeepSeek is a rare, cheap emergency parachute.

🧠 Why this router exists

Claude Pro charges $20/month for barely enough usage to build anything substancial.

Model	SWE‑bench Verified	SWE‑bench Pro	API cost (per 1M output)
Claude Sonnet 4.6	55%	–	~$15.00
MiniMax M2.7	78%	–	~$1.20 (12.5x cheaper)
Claude Opus 4.6	–	57.3%	~$25.00
Z.AI GLM‑5.1	–	58.4% (🥇 top spot)	~$3.10 (5.7x cheaper)

The router gives you the best of both worlds – M2.7 for daily coding, GLM‑5.1 for hard planning, plus a 1M‑token emergency brake via DeepSeek when context exceeds 200k.

🔗 Referral links – how you keep this project alive

We don't charge for the router. The only way we afford to maintain it is through referral commissions when you sign up for the required plans.

✅ You pay exactly the same price – no markup, no fake bonuses. ✅ We get a small commission that pays for development. ✅ If everyone signs up directly, this project dies. If you find value in CC‑TPR, please use the links below.

📊 Why M2.7 over Sonnet? (MiniMax)

Metric	M2.7	Sonnet 4.6	Real‑world impact
SWE‑bench Verified	78%	55%	23% fewer bug‑fix loops
Toolathon (tool use)	46.3%	–	Reliable agentic behaviour
Hallucination rate	34%	46%	Less confident nonsense
Self‑optimisation	100+ rounds, +30%	Not designed for it	Can improve its own code

Minimax Starter Token Plan ($10) gives you 1,500 requests per 5h – enough for 650M tokens/month in my real‑world use.

🧩 Why GLM‑5.1 over Opus? (Z.AI)

Metric	GLM-5.1	Opus 4.6	Winner
SWE‑bench Pro	58.4% (🥇 top spot)	57.3%	GLM
Terminal‑Bench 2.0	69.0	65.4	GLM
AIME 2026 (math)	95.3	~88%	GLM
GPQA (science)	86.2	91.3	Opus (rarely used)
Max autonomous steps	1,200+	–	GLM

Conclusion: For 94.6% of coding tasks, GLM‑5.1 is indistinguishable from Opus – and it actually leads on the hardest engineering benchmark.

The GLM Coding Lite ($18) gives ~3x the prompts of Claude Pro.

⚙️ How the 200k‑context fallback works (DeepSeek V4 Pro)

• MiniMax and GLM both have a 200k token context window.
• When your conversation reaches 165k tokens, the router pre‑emptively switches Sonnet & Opus to DeepSeek V4 Pro (1M context).
• DeepSeek is pay‑as‑you‑go – you make a minimum first‑time payment of $2 to unlock the model. After that, you add credits as needed (no monthly fee).
• Most users spend less than $2/month on DeepSeek, because large contexts are rare.

🛠️ Quick start (Windows)

1. Clone the repo
2. Double‑click CC-TPR_Start.bat – a CMD window opens with the router running.
3. Start Claude Code as usual – it will automatically route through the proxy.
4. Close the CMD window or press Ctrl+C when done.

❓ FAQ

Q: Do I really need both plans? A: You could use only MiniMax (replaces Sonnet & Haiku) and skip GLM. But GLM is only $18 and gives Opus‑class reasoning – worth it for planning/architecture/review.

Q: What if I never hit 200k context? A: Then you never pay DeepSeek beyond the initial $2 deposit. Your monthly stays at $28.

Q: Why not just use OpenRouter directly? A: OpenRouter doesn't give you token‑plan pricing. Our router uses monthly subscription plans (MiniMax, Z.AI) which are ~10x cheaper than pay‑as‑you‑go API.
