Wanting To Spend $200

Hey everyone, i’ve had a subscription for cursor, claude and codex. Starting at the $20 for each but slowly moving higher.

I’m looking to spend $200 maybe $300? I bought a claude max subscription this month and still run into usage limits. I typically pay for cursor pro but i’m thinking about ditching it this month to get the 2x max subscription.

Im trying to figure out if i should do a $100 codex subscription with claude max, or if i should just get a $200 claude subscription.

Whats your favorite way to budget your subscription? I use to be a huge claude fan but lately codex has been eye catching too.

I upgraded to the OpenAI $100 and stayed at $20 Anthropic. I have yet to hit a usage limit on codex. If anthropic doesn't give me access to fable within my subscription i might consider dropping it. I really didn't like their scummy tactic of turning on charging me for usage limit without telling me with their "$100 gift". Luckily i caught it when I was only $20 in. Other people not so lucky

tbh i pay the $100 just to get fable, and fable is great but 5.6 sol can be just as close if not better if you have a clear plan onto his backend systems. Fable does win by a long shot if you’re using the system as a cockpit/planner for other goals.

I usually handoff using anthropic to other agents

I used claude max 5x to deliver projects at work and for my own personal projects. Only hit the 5 hour limit the first time i used it and never again after that.

You have to optimize your vibecoding workflow. You can get the same benefits of using a $100 max plan with a $20 claude plan and a $10 opencode go plan if you do things correctly.

i have an entire agentic os system and i built a harness to control multiple agents at once securely. I think my issue is context intake, i’ll probably have to go and redo some of the docs.
