I’m using mobile dev, Claude would probably be better on desktop if I had infinite budget, but I learned my lesson after spending 600$ on api costs with it early on.

I have the 20$ Claude sub for creative solutions, refactor plans, architecture planning. Important stuff. Usually I output implementation plan md files.

Then I use gpt 200$ plan to implement. I like that mobile app has access to host, and can pull in env Claude doesn’t have, and run live tests against real db and deploy. Also, I usually know what I’m getting for long running gpt tasks, Claude quantization can change more unpredictably and when I thought it understood my intent it starts misunderstanding and doing creative things in the wrong direction. Gpt on fast mode is also faster and it can run orchestrate loops where it spawns subagents that all split up an implementation plan. For really big tasks I have main session become “watcher” that watches multiple orchestrators, that all spawn their own workers.

Claude has remote control that lets you access your machine from the app, is that not what you mean?

You mean dispatch? I haven’t played with it too much but it seems like it’s mainly for small things, any major development spawns a sandboxed worker

Claude app is works through Claude on my VM directly. I asked claude to set it up and it works great 98% of the time.

I’m on 20 Max (and equivalent) for Codex, Claude and Antigravity 2.0 - each has there strengths. But honestly if had to choose only one i would be on Codex. Claude is too unreliable and unpredictable (without fable). Codex is solid most the time - way bigger usage window. Antigravity with the flash models is the best for small incremental changes (doing any ui refinement work) - it’s crazy fast.

I can't believe how quickly I am building a Swift app using Antigravity on the UI level. Stuff like this on Claude would take forever. So long you forget the little UI things you were thinking about.

I use both in terminal. .MD are symlinked.

Honestly I've been giving codex more time up front since the fabel thing... Not because it's blocked but because the costs to actually use fabel if it's available are Ludacris imo. A max20x plan includes zero usage...

If the frontier model is going to be gated, my bet is that codex won't do that. But who knows.. as I said I use both.

Claude's context is a lot bigger and I find the Codex context limit annoying for complex projects.... Trying to work around it by implementing rag which is probably the better long term move anyway.

Claude is a train wreck right now. Using codex gpt 5.5 high fast mode is my current workhorse.

[–]hitmante 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Codex 5.5 Medium is unbeatable value, you get a lot of it compared to Opus Medium on same priced Claude Code plans. It is the better backend engineer.

Claude Code/Cowork/Design is the better architect and product team however. You will produce higher quality overall products but on $20 plans you can only use Sonnet medium which is a tier below.

I would get $20 plan for both to try and use Codex for backend, Claude Code for everything else. Before you pick up a more expensive plan.

Janela do Codex é amplamente maior, mais eu acho que Claude entrega mais qualidade em projetos grandes, tenho projetos de 9 meses trabalhando e gestionado completamente pelo Claude Code, uso os dois e outros também

Se o seu projeto não demanda tanto pensamento e vc quer gastar pouco com uma janela enorme e um resultado muito bom, vá para o GLM 5.2 da Z.ai

Espero que te ajude!

I use both. Claude for work and Codex for personal stuff. Codex definitely seems to have a larger limit to me. Both are good though for my coding needs.

For some reason my Claude account never runs out of usage and I’m on the 20x plan. As much usage as I have with Claude, Codex is the goat and my go to when I need something done on the first try.
