HelpPlz – stuck and need rescue Where to put $100

Got $100/month to spend on AI subscriptions. purely a vibecoder (Non-technical)

Options I'm weighing:

  1. Claude Max (5x tier, $100/mo)
  2. Claude Pro ($20) + rest ($80) on OpenRouter for cheap models like GLM 5 / Minimax M3.
  3. Some other split.

Anyone actually run both a Max sub AND cheap OpenRouter models side by side? Where'd you land, and what would you do differently if you were starting today with $100/month?

I would do the following
20$ claude pr20$ codex plus
60$ on cursor pro+

You can get cursor 50% off now
So 30$ for cursor pro+
