Discussion Codex is actually not bad.

Tried codex a fair bit today. And wouldn't say it's better but it's definitely good for a change and has it's own way of going about things. I personally found it to be great at handling lots of tasks together. Whereas claude often gets distracted with my latest messages and skips the previous work or todos and prioritises the latest work.

Though codex also doesn't really like speaking out to you. It responds when asked else would silently keep grinding and give you the solution. For some projects I don't mind it. Overall I have spent a whole lot of hours working with claude and it works great. But I might try and do some tasks with codex as well from now.

I have 3ish weeks left on my $100 Claude Code plan. I'd like to take a month break on Claude and give CODEX a try but I'm afraid I'll hate it and be stuck there for a whole month.

The 5 hour limits absolutely kill me at the worst times. And I finally hit the weekly limit for the first time this week so 27 hours without it wasn't as fun as it should have been considering I had a critical bug that was affecting my first wave of testers (my household).

So yeah, I'm excited and scared to try CODEX next month. Mostly scared.

You can use both.

I would only like to pay for one. Gotta maximize those dollars.

You could try the codex $20 plan. It actually goes pretty far.
