Hi guys,

I have been researching a lot over which one to choose. While there is substantial evidence, Claude seems superior for coding, the message limits seems to vary rendering it slightly ineffective. Whereas ChatGPT seems to give similar results with slightly more limits. It also allows more than text media as well.

My main purposes will be regards to data science based coding and job hunt tasks ( proofreading, customizing resumes etc. )

What would you have chosen?

I'm new to the AI world and I'd like to get your thoughts on my dilemma.

I currently have a Claude Professional subscription (Claude 3.5 Sonnet), which I chose over ChatGPT because I found its responses more intuitive, fluid, and clear. I don't use it for coding.

However, ChatGPT now offers several features that Claude doesn't have:

• Integrated image generation

• Real-time information access

• Sora (for videos)

• Other additional features

Do you know if Claude is planning to implement similar features to stay competitive?

At this point, for my basic usage, I'm starting to think ChatGPT might be more convenient.

What experiences do you have? What do you think?

I’m trying to figure out what to do.

I used to have the Claude Max $200/mo plan for Opus 4.1 in Claude Code.

But lately I’ve been getting excellent performance on GPT5 codex via codex CLI. Better than Opus 4.1 in some ways.

I have tried Codex via the plus plan, the $20/mo one. So I’ve hit weekly limits.

But Sonnet 4.5 has just been released albeit I haven’t really given it a spin.

Any advice? My use case is NextJS dev.

I'm a non-programmer founder of a startup. I have outsourced my app development. Prefacing to clarify I do not need to use claude for any programming or code generation requirements, and I do not know how to use Claude via API.

I have google one basic pay plan already for my personal gmail.

I used Claude extensively on free plan over last 6-8 months, but I've been frustrated like the rest of the sub with rate limits, which even on my free plan, feel lower and lower.

I mainly used claude for brainstorming - strategy, positioning, business plan, pitch deck, red-hat convo, etc. I used Gemini and Chatgpt as well on same prompts, and generally speaking Claude was much better at deep thinking and strategizing, compared to the other two, which were much better at website copy, etc.

I can definitely say over last 6 months the quality Claude has either remained the same or has a slight decrease in quality of responses, while Gemini and Chatgpt has caught up to even 90% quality responses.

I've read a few recent threads on this sub where users are facing message limits even on pro, but there are some who are using it for coding, and there are some who are suggesting turning off Artifacts / Projects to increase message limit.

I'm getting close to launch in a couple of weeks and need a dedicated virtual co-founder.

So I want to ask whether its worth paying for Claude to over-ride the message limit on the Pro Plan, for a vanilla use case like mine? I want to use it as a high-level strategic thinker / virtual co-founder, multiple times a day in one single long conversation, and my guess is over time the context input tokens requirement, because of a longer conversation, will grow larger and larger.

Again, from what I've read in the other posts people are quite frustrated with Claude limits, so I guess the answer will mostly be "no don't do it", but wondering if there are others who have had a similar use case as mine, and which LLM they ended up using.

Will appreciate any recommendations.

TIA.

I’ve been using Claude AI for the past couple of weeks mainly for coding and finding it better by far than chatGPT

One annoying thing was the constant running out of usage, and today I noticed you can up to higher tiers which I did.

However as my work is getting more complex using the web interface just isn’t practically and more and need to move to using it within vscode, which I’ve just been too lazy to do.

I went to do that and realised you can’t used your ClaudeAI account and need the API account instead which is annoying.

So my question is what’s usage costs like when comparing them?

Has anyone been using either or both on a high level? Which of the two provides the most cost efficient, consistent and non robotic answers/outputs? I’m currently using 4o and even then, still outputs inconsistently for workflows like data extraction.

Been using ChatGPT Plus for a few months now but hearing good things about Claude, so I was wondering if I should switch to paying for Claude

I mostly use it for either programming, very quick fact verification/research and creative writing (usually alt history)

I also prefer longer indepth responses. I kinda feel like chatgpt has been very surface level unless I really prod it to go further indepth

Especially curious which is best for coding with.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently deciding between subscribing to ChatGPT (Plus or Team) and Claude.
I mainly use AI tools for coding and analyzing academic papers, especially since I'm majoring in computer security. I often read technical books and papers, and I'm also studying digital forensics, which requires a mix of reading research papers and writing related code.

Given this, which AI tool would be more helpful for studying digital forensics and working with security-related content?
Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I've been a ChatGPT user since the very beginning (late 2022) and jumped on the paid Plus version as soon as they offered it in 2023. I knew there were competitors stepping up their game like Claude, Gemini, Grok, but I never gave them a try.

Until two months ago, because I was getting increasingly disappointed with ChatGPT's responses on my more complex projects.

When I gave Claude Sonnet 4.5 a try, I immediately had a "Eureka" moment, really blown away by its capability on large and complex projects, navigating various files with exceptional understanding and output that ChatGPT was never able to match. It provides truly actionable answers and solutions I hadn't even asked for yet, as if it was reading my mind ahead of time lol.

And now with Claude Opus 4.5, which goes even further. Whether it's for code, writing technical documents, or entirely reorganizing large-scale projects.

I'm really down the rabbit hole, took the Claude Pro Max subscription and cancelled my ChatGPT Plus subscription because it doesn't bring me anything anymore, despite the recent 5.2 that I tried. I feel like I'm getting responses that fall way short of Claude Opus 4.5, despite all the hype ChatGPT gets.

To be clear, I don't want to bash ChatGPT, I think they deserve some credit as the first mover. But I think there's a disconnect between the hype around it (with some valuations at $1T) and the reality, which shows that Claude is clearly better in my opinion.
