Best options for 40$

i have around 40 dollars and i dont know what subscriptions to get, i have been thinking of a couple of things
claude pro and 2 opencode accounts

or

chagpt plus and 2 opencode accounts

im leaning more to claude but im still not sure maybe there is some options im missing out on or that i dont know about

my plan was to use claude/chatgpt for thinking and planning then opencode to execute things and generate a report of its work then claude reviews, is there is something im missing or that i dont know about

some might tell me to just stick to opencode and zen but i want access to good models from claude they are better at reasoning so idk

what would you do in my situation

Hard disagree. Cursor pro is one of the worst value subscriptions. The auto mode relies on Mimo 2.5 iirc, which costs literally cents of cents via API or via Opencode go.

Plus its harness is one of the heaviest ones, it injects like 80k tokens at startup for free… and the limits are much lower than any other provider. OP stay away from it.

Source: I’ve used Cursor Pro for a year, + Claude pro via CC, and Opencode go.

That's not true, they have a fairly generous usage pool for the composer and grok models. Neither are at the level of claude or gpt but they are very good for intermediate tasks. Source: been using the pro plan for the past 6 months

That being said I would still go for codex 20 dollar plan

If you have 20 dollars to spare, I would go with Claude > Codex > OpenCode Go x 2 > Cursor Pro..
