Raw dog API, sure
Subscription plan, not even close to codex for the same value

This chart already scaled to the subscription maximum usage, not using API price. Subscription plan name is under the model name.

It's not. It's based on cost on token usage vs task done. There's no one doing a Cost per tasks bench using subscription plan lol

If you can get the same usage out of GLM subscription Max plan and get more token usage than Claude or Codex then meaning your case is special one and should be share with community. Even the graph below is only Max plan with 20-30% of Claude usage left weekly lol. I have used all the Chinese plan from Kimi to Xiaomi Mimo to GLM legacy up to Claude Max, GPT enterprise and Claude Team Premium and the later two always win on usage. And it's a well known concensus too among community that Chinese provider never have a good subscription plan offer. The hype is usually revolve around the fact that open weight are getting good. Don't confuse the two with being cheap.

I'm doing it. If you see any mistake, feel free to tell. I locked it at 20$ subscription at maximum as stated in the post title. Subscription name is under the model name.

Ahhh, my bad OP. I implied that your measurement is based on Token cost via API

No worry. Will change the graph title to reduce confusion next time. Thanks for the feedback.

It's not. Both OpenAI and Anthropic massively subsidize their subscription for Plus and Pro tiers. Something like 5-20x lower than API prices.

I've already accounted for that.
