But when we buy two pro plans it would get upto 80% of tokens of max plan. no!? your math is off lol to get 80% of the tokens of the max plan with pro, you'd need 4 pro subscriptions, as each one gives you 20% of the $100 max plan's tokens the $100 plan is simply worth 5 $20 plans, with additional access to opus in claude code and some other small stuff Answer from TechExpert2910 on reddit.com

r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: For Claude Code which is better 2 pro subscriptions or one max subscription?
June 14, 2025 -
In Max 100$ subscription we get 5x the tokens compared to pro 20$ plan. But when we buy two pro plans it would get upto 80% of tokens of max plan. At 40% of cost. So cost vs usage which do you think is better?

Opus is not available for PRO in Claude Code, but in Claude Desktop. Max is 5x Pro. I would say: - Are you using Opus too much? - Are you using Claude code non stop all the day every day? If the above key for you ==>Then MAX If you are doing small tasks, taking time to plan correctly and like to focus on 1 task at a time, fine tune it and do you your code reviews. Use Opus on Claude Desktop (With MCP works fine). If you work that way ==> Pro 2x or 3x if needed.

June 4, 2025Claude Pro + Cursor v.s. Claude Max (Claude Code)
It’s a no brainer. I say this time and time again. If you’re gonna use Claude for programming, use Claude Code. People who complain about results are not using CC, they are using the model in a diff IDE so it’s gimped Anthropic cooks best with their own model (think Nintendo and their first party games). They will always be ahead unless the other models get better at coding which I’m happy for, I want competition in this space lol More on reddit.com

Claude Free vs Claude Pro vs Claude Max: What's the difference?
September 20, 2025 - Since the benefits of Claude Max are practically limited to higher usage than Pro, it’s worth testing out the Pro version first. If you find yourself frequently exceeding your usage allowance, then make the jump to Claude’s top tier. Claude is one of the smartest AI chatbots around, quietly crushing it when it comes to crunching numbers, debugging code, and creating a piece of creative writing.

Hi all,
Curious how you guys think about Claude Pro + Cursor versus Claude Code (included in Claude Max). I'm currently working on a new software project, using Claude Pro and Visual Studio Code (+ GitHub Copilot). Curious about your insights!

I canceled my Cursor subscription, stopped using Cline, and got Claude Code (Max $100), and I’m so glad I did. Not only am I getting better code, but I’m also saving a lot of money.
