I will mainly use it alongside cursor, I love claude’s models especially in anything that requires any tool use its so good and seamless

I will use it alongside cursor just want to know what I will get and if it will be good enough, I can do with 40-50 messages every 5 hours that’s really good for me especially alongside cursor

And before you say “just get the 100$ one this one won’t do anything” I can’t afford it

I know, I probably shouldn't say anything because this is absolutely subsidized launch pricing to drive up interest and I'm going to jinx it and they'll eventually slow down the gravy train but damn. I saw someone else post their $20 in 2 days breaking even and thought I might as well share my own experience - I broke even day 1. I've actually only gotten rate limited once, and it was for about an hour and a half on that first day when I burned $30 in equivalent API use.

I'm a heavy roo code user via API and get everything for free at work so I generally look for the right tool for the job more than anything else, and while I still think roo modes shine where claude code hasn't quite nailed yet, it's a very solid product. In my own time, I had been going more gemini heavy in roo because sonnet struggles with big context and have mad love for that beautiful month of free 2.5 pro exp... and I was willing to overlook a lot of the 05-06 flaws. Jury is still out on 06-05, but I decided to give the $20 plan a shot and see if claude code would cut my API bills and damn. It did almost immediately. First day was 06/06, the 06/01 and 06/05 were using my direct anthropic API. This is not an ad, it's good shit and you might as well get some VC funded discount claude code usage while it's still out there.

Is using claude code on the $20 monthly practical? for sonnet 4?

Is there any one using it with this plan?

How does the rate limit differ from that of Cursor? my info is that its 10-40 prompts every 5 hour

So, is this practical? I am assuming its going to be 10 prompts every 5 hours per complaints.

Thanks

Hey everyone,
I’ve been using Cursor, but I already hit the usage limit halfway through the month, even though I’m actually coding less than before their pricing change.

I’m thinking of switching to Claude Code. For those using it, is the $20/month plan enough for your regular coding needs?

For context, I’m a full-on vibe coder. I do everything with AI and rely on it heavily. So I’m curious if Claude can keep up with that style of workflow.

Any insights would be appreciated!

i’m CONSIDERING upgrading to the $100-200 max subscription just because of how costly using claude is on cursor (and far worse through that damned api — still can’t believe designing a new glassmorphic card costed $4[?!?!] for one prompt).

i kind of want to test around with claude code more; i’ve used it in the past (wasn’t extremely impressed but keep in mind i’m building more simple webapps and whatnot). when i am doing something more novel, generally a massive amount of context or manual programming is still required, even if it’s integrating an API that the AI is not familiar with.

don’t send a firebomb through my window, but i kind of like gemini and the huge context window for their cli/vscode extension is awesome. i haven’t hit any usage caps, afaik it’s free but i also pay for gemini and it’s super cheap.

i do this partially for a living, so i don’t mind paying for a good tool, but i don’t want to throw $200 at something if my cursor, windsurf and gemini subscription will work fine. i am doing this 8-12+ hours a day generally speaking, so if it’s that large of a step up, i’m game.

main question: has anyone actually tried using the normal $20 subscription for claude code? will i get anything out of it other than seeing if paying for claude is right for me?

i despise burning money and buying stuff i won’t use, and i am not super apt on feeding in to anthropic’s greed…

please, if you’ve tried the different pricing tiers, give me an example of how much you can use of both sonnet and opus on each

I'm thinking of upgrading to the $20/month plan specifically to use Claude Code. Are you guys hitting the limit constantly? Just trying to figure out if it's usable for a full workday or if I'll get capped immediately.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently on a $20/month plan for my AI tool (Claude Code) and facing some challenges:

• My usage limit gets exhausted pretty quickly — often after just 2-3 hours of active use per day, sometimes even less than 2 hours when I am in plan mode.

• I can’t access the Opus model on this $20/month plan.

My context:

• I work 12-14 hours per day, including Saturdays.

• I estimate 70-80 sessions per month considering 5hr time of single session.

• It do planning, coding, debugging, and research work.

I’m considering upgrading to the $100/month plan, but I’m unsure:

• Will $100 be enough for my usage pattern, or should I directly go for the $200 plan?

• How many continue hours I can use Opus model in 100$ plan ?

• How has your experience been after upgrading — is it worth it for daily users?

Any insights or real-life experiences would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!
