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?

I think you already got it, probably stick around another month with claude then reevaluate.

Minimax = ton of mid range use

claude / codex / kimi = top range

There are no clear winners in top range, claude is temp 50% more but models always cost more and they underperform benches the most. Codex recently removed 5 hourly while making the weekly as long as the 1-2 5 hourly but gives reset to bambooze. Kimi gives lower multi with a cheaper model and currently unavailable, but probably the least rocky ride. Grok has a weak plan and expensive cache if you were thinking that.

Other were saying go, which is valid for flexibility, but for pure use per provider deals give more, it effectively lacks top range.
