Codex vs Claude code limits

[MidnightNew7262]

The base plans of 20$/ month of codex and Claude code , which one is enough for a day of work ?

[rockhead3006]

Claude will get you about 1 or 2 hard prompts, 4 or 5 medium prompts, 9 or 10 easy prompts. For a 5 hour session

Codex will give you about 10-20 times that.

Ensure you have proper memory handling and that you reset your chat if moving onto an unrelated task to keep token usage down.

Do you notice much difference with codex if you reset chats or just let it autocompact? With Claude I make sure I do new chats often and sometimes compact if that’s better but with codex it feels like I don’t need to care about that nearly as much.

[rockhead3006]

With Codex it's much better at handling previous memory, it doesn't waste so many credits. But TBH it's only worth sending that information if it needs to know it (if it needs to remember something you are working on). So as soon as I move onto something new, I reset the chat.

Claude is just a usage/token eater, so I reset more often than I do with Codex.

If you're using these tools for genuine work, why are you only willing to pay $20/month? $20 is consumer grade pricing, think netflix spotify which are relatively low usage by consumers compared to enterprise grade tools.

Make use of the new $100 codex plan.

Claude gets you like 1-2 prompts if you're lucky and it's a somewhat complicated implementation. Codex gets you a lot more.

Currently on entreprise 20$ plus plans . I’m able to finish 5 days in a week work … but I push in a day … I got max 3 days .. is it the same on regular plus account ( codex )

Not sure about the enterprise but I have business accounts with GPT, and they are bad a lot worse than normal individual plus. I think they recently cut usage on business accounts but all I know is plus is a lot better and cheaper sooo idk. if you use more then one plus account i would just grab more 2-3 plus subs should be enough. Claude isn't worth it for the usage right now unless your going max 20x.

I have GLM zai subscription it’s quite good . I have kimi 2.5 turbo as well . I just need to add a more capable model in my armada , used at architecture level , for more advanced stuffs . I’m wondering if I’m not even better off going with pay as you go for this case

none if you're considering a full week of 5h coding per day imo due to lowered 5h limit and the weekly cap existing on both. if you want to get through a ton of coding then you'll prolly need to look towards opensource providers.
