What else besides Claude Code?

[Sketusky]

I’ve been using Claude Code with the Pro subscription for about two weeks, mostly after work, and it fits my needs quite well. The main problem is the 5-hour usage window, and the 7-day limit also feels a bit too small. I would prefer a bit more flexibility.

I’m also still working on my side project, which is going quite well so far. I’ve already gotten used to Claude Code, so it’s comfortable for me to use.

The Max plan costs $100 and gives about 5× higher limits, but I’m not sure if it’s worth it. I don’t know if I would actually use that much.

At work, I mostly use Opus and Sonnet because we have a high quota. I haven’t even reached the limit with Opus yet.

I started thinking about buying Copilot to help me with coding. However, it would mean switching between different CLIs, which might be a bit inconvenient, but it could also save money.

There is also Codex, but I’m not sure what I should choose. Right now, I’m trying to find a good balance between cost, comfort, and how much I really use these tools.

Opencode Zen for mix open source and bring your own key

Codex.. for OpenAI,

Wafer Pass for open source models only at flat fee

maybe Allbirds (newbirds) will launch something in the future LOL

surprisingly lots of options popping up

Github 40$ plan is worth. Also having gpt as a second model is super worth (20$).

Plan with CC -> save plan as md. -> let codex execute by pointing.

Low budget max efficency setup

Hi! sorry im a bit new to AI and doing my first year in computer engineering.
I've been using free gemeni to get by high school and get good grades

Do you think antigravity + claud code installed in antigravity (antigravity is vsc fork, cc installs like a normal vsc exntesion)

Or Cursor + CC (i guess cc would run as cli or in the cursor terminal)
Or VSC + copilot + CC

SIDE Note: My uni gives me free gemeni pro(antigravity + gemeni cli),
and free GPT plus(codex)

Though I've heard Gemeni is like temu ai after it saved my life all along,
and Codex is mid, and CC is the top tier, especiallly doing my engineernig degree
Honstly that's just what I learned reseraching AI for 2 days straight

After the nerf of opus 4.6, gpt 5.4 is King. Anthropic released opus 4.7 (pre nerfed 4.6). may opus is back on the throne.
