5.2-codex is pretty solid and you get dramatically higher usage rates with cheap plans. I would assume API use is much cheaper as well.

people are sleeping on openai right now but codex 5.2 xhigh is at least as good as opus and you get a TON more usage out of the OpenAI $20/mo plan than Claude's $20/mo plan. I'm always hitting the 5 hour quota with Opus but never have with Codex. Codex tool itself is not quite as good but close.

Is there a plan like the $100 Claude Max? $200 for ChatGPT Pro is a little bit too much for me.

Whereas Claude Max 5x is enough that I don’t really run out with my usage patterns.

If $20/mo Claude is not enough for you but 5x Claude at $100/mo is, the $20 chatgpt plus subscription might give you enough codex for your usage
