Do you think that for someone who only needs careful, methodical identification of “problems” occasionally, like a couple of times per day, the $20/month plan gets you anywhere, or do you need the $200 plan just to get access to this?
I only ever use it on the high reasoning mode, for what it's worth. I'm sure it's even less of a problem if you turn it down.
The OpenAI token limits seem more generous than the Anthropic ones too.
I think it is widely accepted that Anthropic is doing very well in enterprise adoption of Claude Code.
In most of those cases that is paid via API key not by subscription so the business model works differently - it doesn't rely on low usage users subsidizing high usage users.
OTOH OpenAI is way ahead on consumer usage - which also includes Codex even if most consumers don't use it.
I don't think it matters - just make use of the best model at the best price. At the moment Codex 5.2 seems best at the mid-price range, while Opus seems slightly stronger than Codex Max (but too expensive to use for many things).
