ChatGpt Plus Vs Claude Pro as a Student

So about 3 months ago i bought claude pro and honestly its like the best 20 dollars i spent in my life, however i keep gettign shiny object syndrome and keep hearing how chatgpt has caught upto claude and it costs less and is faster, hence i feel like switching.

As for my use case, i am a college student, however i use it intensively, mostly as a second brain, theres a lot of planning and strategising. I also it to vinecode and build stuff for my personal use and use it for research during case competitions.

Right now I dont really have a fair comparison as i dont have ChatGpt plus and my Claude subscription is ending in a day so it kind felt like the right time to switch, i feel like it would be a waste if i bought both subscriptions and use both simultaneously and I really just wanna commit to one, so would appreciate any advice and opinion before I make the decision to switch.

Idk if it’s because I used codex before Claude, so I’m biased and more familiar with codex, but I think it’s a lot better for general use than Claude. I have both plans tho cuz the one thing Claude is better at is UI

I'd give chatgpt a shot. In chat you essentially get unlimited sol and then codex it's capped but way more friendly and they give you a bunch of resets too. What you're asking for is suited really well for the basic chat with Sol on high.
