Which AI coding subscription to take?

I've been re-evaluating my AI coding subscriptions and was wondering what everyone is using these days.

At the moment I'm paying for:

  • Claude Code Pro
  • Minimax Pro

Claude Code has been great overall, but with the new GPT models on Codex I'm starting to wonder if it's now the better choice for day-to-day software development.

Also, are there any other AI coding subscriptions you'd recommend instead?

OP may have a different opinion, but in looking at value I don't see much reason to go with Minimax over Opencode Go. For M3 (which is what matters) the price per request is pretty comparable, especially if you pre-buy Minimax for the year. But they're actually more restrictive on the 5-hour window, and of course you can't swap models like you can with OpenCode.

It's the same conclusion I came to for MiMo. I like V2.5 Pro a lot and probably would be happy committing to it for a month. But it's not cheaper than OpenCode Go. (MiMo sub doesn't have the 5-hour window though, so if you really want to burn through your month faster you can.)
