- selcuka 6mo ago> Just use claude code directly with a pro plan Usage limits are/were higher in Copilot. They also charge per prompt, not per token.
- rcleveng 6mo agoYes, I loved my $10 a month person subscription for light coding tasks, it worked great. I'd use claude code max for heavy lifting, but the $10 a month copilot plan kept me off cursor for the IDE centric things.
- invalidSyntax 6mo agoMe too. Claude isn't the best option when all you do is ask "what's this error message", every 10 minutes or so.
- krzyk 6mo agoWell they charge per prompt, but with usage limits it is a mix of token and prompt. If prompt multiplier is higher, tokens are also multiplied, so limit is reached sooner. It is basically a token based pricing, but you get alos a limitation of prompts (you can't just randomly ask questions to models, you have to optimize to make them do the most work for e.g. hour(s) without you replying - or ask them to use the question tool).
- versteegen 6mo agoThe Anthropic Pro plan cost double and gave you, I don't know, a tenth the usage, depending on how efficiently you used Copilot requests, and no access to a large set of models including GPT and Gemini and free ones.
