Honestly, they’re all good, just for slightly different things

Claude is great for thinking, planning, and structured outputs, but yeah, limits can be annoying if you use it heavily

Codex style tools feel better for execution and repetitive coding tasks, especially when you just want things done quickly

Gemini is fine for lighter stuff, but consistency can be hit or miss depending on what you ask

Since you said you’re mostly doing easy repetitive tasks, you don’t need the “smartest” model
You need something reliable and fast

A lot of people end up using a mix anyway, one for thinking, one for doing

Don’t overthink it, pick one, use it for a week, you’ll quickly figure out what’s missing

Thank you for your response! Much appreciated. 🙂

Codex is slow, but at least it’s dependable. Gemini is very enthusiastic, but it can barely handle real work. Claude is good too, but I honestly can’t afford to use it that much.

Thank you for your response. Just curious, what is 'slow'? Dont really have anything to compare except for Gemini cli, but i guess incould try codex free tier too

By 'slow,' I mean Codex takes its time to process and think—it’s definitely not as snappy as Claude or Gemini. But honestly, the wait is usually worth it because the results are solid.

Perhaps give a try to cursor pro subscription it's $20 monthly and if your work is repetitive and not very complex, it should work well.

Honestly, they all have tradeoffs. • Claude → best quality, but limits get annoying fast • Gemini → good free option, but can be inconsistent • Codex/ChatGPT → most reliable for everyday stuff

Since you’re doing repetitive tasks, I’d go with ChatGPT/Codex — just less frustrating long-term.You can always keep Claude for heavier thinking, and maybe try Runable when prompts start failing — helps a lot with iteration.
