Short answerIt depends on what you use it for, and opinions in posts vary. For everyday chat plus occasionally making small things, some think ChatGPT is the most well-rounded, since chat is free and it includes image generation credits. Among heavy coders, some tested same-price subscriptions and found Claude's quota noticeably more durable, and others feel it understands your intent better. On the other side, some say the latest GPT has a very good development experience. If you can only subscribe to one and your budget is limited, some recommend Claude Pro at $20 a month. For a safer choice, you can do as some people do and use both together, cross-checking each other.

  1. 1

    For everyday chat and making small things, Kazik thinks ChatGPT is the most well-rounded: chat is completely free, it includes image generation credits, and it's enough for building small projects.

  2. 2

    With a limited budget and only one subscription, Gorden Sun recommends Claude Pro at $20 a month: top-tier models and plenty of quota, about on par with the $100 ChatGPT plan.

  3. 3

    For heavy coding, look at quotas: Kazik tested both at the $200 tier, finding Claude's weekly quota is worth about $3,400 in API value, while Codex's is about $1,700, and he finds Claude far more durable.

  4. 4

    When requirements aren't clear, KC feels Claude can understand intent, while switching to GPT might require dozens of rounds of prompts to keep correcting. This is his personal impression from using them.

  5. 5

    Some also prefer GPT: Baoyu says GPT-6 Astra has a great development experience and Computer Use works well, and he even complains that Fable is too expensive; another tweet cites a leaderboard saying that paired with Codex, its cost is about half that of the runner-up.

  6. 6

    If you don't want to choose just one, Phyrex has ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok do the same task together and cross-check each other to reduce hallucinations, and the ChatGPT desktop app can also take over your computer to handle files.

01数字生命卡兹克10-13ZHKazike says ChatGPT is the most generous, with free chat and image generation quota#1经常有人问我订阅了啥AI的会员,所以今天正好分享一下。 1. ChatGPT Pro会员,100刀(约670块)。 GPT-6 Astra刚出来的时候,我是200刀的会员,那时候还在重构AIHOT,基本一天1个200刀账号,Original post232KLikes 1.3K
02数字生命卡兹克10-04ZHHands-on test of the $200 tier: Claude's weekly quota is worth twice Codex's in converted value#2因为3天时间蹬完了一个200刀GPT账号的100%周额度+1次重置卡+送的65000的额度,感觉有点过于不对劲了。 对应的是Claude那边200刀的账号,狂蹬3天Opus 5.5,周额度还剩50%...ImageOriginal post142KLikes 574
03宝玉09-05ZHBaoyu says developing with GPT-6 Astra feels great, while the Fable subscription is too expensive#3高强度体验下来,感觉现在用 Astra 开发体验非常好,不像之前用 Fable 那么割裂。 Fable 真的各方面都很强,但太贵了,用过的都知道,$200 的订阅基本上用不了几次,根本就舍不得放开了用。Original post131KLikes 531

05Phyrex10-26ZHThree AIs cross-check each other, and the ChatGPT desktop app takes over the computer最近看到大家都在用 Grok Bot ,我说说我自己的体验。 首先我并没有单独使用 Grok Bot ,Grok Bot 最大的优势就是无缝链接 X ,但在写代码或者是日常工作的时候 X 并不是唯一的信息来源。ImageOriginal post106KLikes 153
