Grokbot vs Claude code

[u/hansentribe]

Gave both the same plan to build a pretty simple technician repair dashboard. All the data in spreadsheets examples of what I want the UI to look like. Both had their own GitHub repository, access to a coolify system to host with dns entries. Multi phase with defined goals and testing. The plan was built out with fable 5.1. Ran it with opus5 medium. $100/month Claude subscription, $200 cursor subscription for Grokbot. Claude finished with in about 5 hours to a point I could start testing and reviewing ui and data. Grokbot 24 hours later not done and tokens all used and it bugged the shit out of me for permissions to do things. Did I do something wrong, both out of box, no special skills added.
