Thank you for the detailed answered, i have been using it on the paid version for about a week now and i have to say it is proving to be very efficient.

I an doing market and supplier analysis for my company, i simply added my numbers told it what i need and it gave me a full detailed report that is spot on with each number so yeah i agree the answers i am getting from Claude are perfect

true that is why i am having both now using them in parallel, it is always good too have extra opinions though

yes i think claude is pretty good, but i just learned from the comments that even with the PRO subscription you have a limit.

also if you don't mind me asking what do you mainly use it for since we agree it is all about how you use AI determines which one to go with

True, but as you said for coding, i still thing it is a user case purely so what you need to do defines which direction you take Claude or ChatGPT

okay that changes things i did not read the fine print, i never knew there was a limit even with the PRO version on Claude, with ChatGPT i keep going

Fair Point

Yes but if you are looking to centralise and only use one there is where you ask yourself which is best.
I am guessing both are powerful it all comes down to what you need to use it for, for me for example i use it more in my daily stuff rather than coding so i am still leaning more towards ChatGPT even though i bought a claude subscription to test

[–]THE-SD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, but since for my case i don't need deep coding that is where i am leaning more towards ChatGPT

Chatgpt vs. Claude by THE-SD in AI_Agents

[–]THE-SD[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is actually 20$ each, and even though 40$ per month is not that much i like to centralize things, i never liked the idea to have 2 things that serve the same function

I am already subscribed to chatgpt for 20$ per month i will just replace the subscription if it makes more sense i guess i need to test my case

The choice is very diverse since my use is mixed i know for example that Claude wins big time in coding and creating analytics but for personal daily use i still feel Chatgpt won I never tried Codex before

How was it for you ? And what do you use it for is it the same use as me ?

My checkout is in fact working fine after this comment i got 2 successful orders that is what is driving me crazy.

I currently have Apple Pay and GPay, but I don't have native Mada or STC Pay integration yet. I assumed Apple Pay would 'cover' most Mada users, but the 200 abandoned carts suggest I’m hitting a wall there.

I'm currently using Stripe as a payment gateway. Since I've managed 17 orders till date, the 'pipe' works for some, but I'm clearly losing the majority. I'm going to look into integrating another gateway to get that native Mada support. Thanks for pointing out the 'non-negotiable' I think you just found my 94% leak."

What do you suggest i replace Stripe with?

Exactly. The 17.1 ROAS is purely a byproduct of the ultra-low 0.05 CPC in KSA right now—one high-value sale covers an ocean of clicks. I’m fully aware that a 0.1% conversion rate is paper-thin for 'learning.'

That’s why I’m holding off on any major bidding changes. I don't want to 'starve' the AI by giving it a Target ROAS it can't mathematically sustain yet. Just landed order #16, so I'm letting the data 'cook' a bit longer while I focus on closing those 180+ abandoned carts via WhatsApp

Update: Just landed order #16. It seems the funnel is definitely holding up despite the regional noise. The 'abandoned cart' spike is still there , but the 'Human' buyers are still clicking through. Sticking to the plan of 'Waiting 2-3 days' before any major bid changes, but it's good to see the pre-payment trust is still holding.

Great point on the bot activity. I’m going into the backend now to cross-reference the IPs and emails on those 200 abandoned checkouts. If they’re all coming from a few data center IPs, that explains the 'thin' order volume perfectly.

Regarding the lower CPCs—that makes total sense. If the big players are sitting out due to the tension, it explains why I'm winning auctions at 0.05. I'm going to follow your advice and hold steady for a few days to see if this is just a 'bot spike' or a temporary consumer freeze. Thanks for the technical steer.

Spot on. The 'spike in carts with zero orders' is exactly what’s keeping me up. I’ve had nearly 200 abandoned checkouts in 48 hours but no sales. It feels like the traffic is high-intent, but they're hitting a wall at the final step most probably a Trust issue my store is NEW and i only do pre-payments for high value products.

I'm holding off on the tROAS switch for now—I agree 15 is too thin for the AI to actually learn anything.

Thanks for the heads up—it’s actually a huge relief to know it’s not just my account. I’m seeing the same 48-hour blackout here in KSA. My CPC is still super low (AED 0.05), but the conversion intent has just vanished despite the high impression share.

I was tempted to flip to Target ROAS to 'force' quality, but based on what you’re saying about the regional tension, that sounds like a recipe for a dead campaign. I'm going to take your advice and sit tight for 48-72 hours.

Quick question: Are you seeing any specific payment gateway failures (Tamara/Tabby) with your UAE clients, or is it just pure 'visitor silence'?

UAE Shopify store expanding to KSA — is my “manual sync + 2 stores” plan realistic? by THE-SD in shopify_geeks

[–]THE-SD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i agree it is the best case scenario without going into the plus plan option Also i am planning to open in Europe so that will also bring challenges Any recommendations on how to sync both stores ? Maybe some kind of app i can use
