Since I have only used Gemini Pro 2.5 (free) and Claude on the web (free) and I am thinking of subbing to one service or two, are you saying that:

- Gemini Pro 2.5 is better at feeding it more code and ask it to do a task (or more than one)? - ...but that GPT Codex and Claude Code are better at iterating on a project? - ...or something else?

I am looking to gauge my options. Will be grateful for your shared experience.

Codex and Claude are better than Gemini in all coding tasks I've tried.

At the "smart autocomplete" level the distinction isn't large but it gets bigger the more agentic you ask for.
