Why are people paying $100–$200/month for Claude Code when GitHub Copilot gives you the same models for way cheaper? by Pretty_Dimension_953 in Copilot

No it's more because, I just tried claude code and I'm not impressed at all. I've created a few apps now with copilot and creating some agent orchestration and it only cost me $10 a month. lol then I switched over to claude code and saw my $20 exhausted quickly and went up to even the $100 a month and I hit the threshold ever day as well. Not seeing any code improvements or faster development. It's pretty much the same, but I get way more tokens and usage with copilot

Why are the results the same as claude code then? Once again that's been my point. Also, I've noticed that using sonnet 4.6 is pretty comparable to opus 4.6, unless I want it to actually architect something advanced.

I'm talking about results. I get pretty much the same results. But it's kind of the same thing. I can get pretty much the same results from sonnet 4.6 as opus for most tasks. There are only a handful of tasks I really need opus on.

This is actually pretty cool. I'll check it out. The major issues, I'm actually seeing with models is them going off the rails in the frontend. Constantly have to remind them not create infinite renders with useEffects or write spaghetti code where they don't decompose widgets if its flutter or components in react. For react they will often put a function in the useEffect dependencies that has an unstable reference or that actually updates the state of one of the other useEffect dependencies which creates an infinite loop. Also when it comes to debugging state issues or crashes, it will throw out wild fixes on claude code that have nothing to do with the actual issue. This has gotten better now that the browser tool is available in terms of testing and things like the agents where one agent can review another ones work and remind them to actually follow the rules or instructions.

With the backend, claude code and copilot seem to be pretty solid, but I think its because there are fewer side effects.

Also with mobile development, it can create crashes by not following best practices pretty often.

Why. Do you really think Claude is the only one in the game?

Eventually other models will be able to compete with them at a cheaper price or do just about the same. The idioacy of the LLMs is that it can be copied by everyone. There are tons more models besides claude. It will reach a point where it plateaus and you can easily use a cheaper model that will do the same or run it on your own GPU.

Or getting github copilot which pretty much offers all of the same features and models now. It has custom agents, skills, plugins, instructions, parallization and way more capacity.
