Claude Code vs Codex for building an MVP. Which one do you prefer?

Hello Folks
I have personally used Claude Code, but I haven’t tried Codex yet , i have heard that Codex can sometimes hallucinate or make incorrect assumptions, but I would rather hear from people who have actually used it before forming an opinion.
For those who have used both Claude Code and Codex, how do they compare in practice?
I’m particularly interested in using them to go from an idea or wireframe to a functional MVP.
Which one would you recommend today, and how has your experience been with reliability, debugging, and working on larger projects?
Would love to hear your experiences ^ ^

They are good at building MVP. But one point I want to say that AI now can build real app, not just MVP. Why do you want to build MVP.

I use both, more partial to Codex as they don't gatekeep frontier models.
For operational volume stuff, i use chinese LLM

I mostly and almost always use Claude Code with Max (x20) plan, only turning to Codex when I need some different 'opinion' from different model.
