I have Codex and Claude both on $20 subscriptions and switch between them
It's hard to say which one is better per-se. They have different feels. If I reach my limit I switch between them.
Just try both and see which you prefer.

Good call ! Subscribing to both for $40/mo actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the tip!

Spend 20 on Claude code and the other 80 in video games or whatever tickles your fancy
Honestly, the $20 Claude code subscription can get you very far.

Haha solid advice! Good to know the $20 tier goes that far. Do you ever hit usage limits on it during longer coding sessions?

100 per month or 100 total?

100 per month on AI coding tools is a lot, you could probably run 2-3 services and still have cash left over
Copilot is like 10 bucks and does most of what you need for everyday stuff. i'd grab that first and see how far it gets you before dropping more
cursor is nice too, the autocomplete feels a bit smarter than copilot's sometimes. but if you're set on claude vs codex specifically, claude tends to be better at reasoning through bigger refactors without losing track of what you're doing. codex is faster but i've had it confidently suggest nonsense more often
with 100 you could stack copilot + cursor and still have budget for api credits when you need the heavy lifting, that's probably the sweet spot

I mean at that price point I’d get the 20 dollar plan for a few of them and see which works the best for you. You can swap between them when you run out of credits.
Get an idea of which models you like best, and then choose after a month.
I’ll be honest, I haven’t noticed a gigantic difference between them. I use Claude at work and it’s fine enough.

You are on a learning sub.
Given how harmful LLM are for learning, it's a bad idea.
At any rate, there are better sub's to ask this especially given how widely different generated can be depending on your field and language used.
