I’ve tried Claude Code and recently switched to Codex. I’ve found that $20 on Codex gets me 4–5 times more usage than on Claude Code.

I could burn through my Opus usage in 1 hour whereas with Sol, I can go 3–4 days.

You can't burn through a week's opus usage in 1 hour. You might be comparing the 5-hour limit of opus with the week limit of codex?

Oolama? That plan is more than generous for $20.

How is that the case? ChatGPT not only gives a lot of Codex/Agentic usage, once you've run out of that you still have a massive quota of Chat usage that's entirely separate. You can still use plug-ins with Github, Google Drive, etc... using the Chat usage as well.

From my experience:

* OpenAI was ~$170 per week in value

* Claude was around $500 per week in value.

* Ollama Cloud is giving me about ~$160 per week in value.

So right now (thing constantly change in the AI world), its not more generous then Claude.
