Building a tool to compare value across LLM provider options.
Part of it tracks how many tokens you actually get from various subscriptions, over time.
Past week, multiple people asked me about it — they'd been hitting Claude and Codex limits faster than expected.
Ran the tests yesterday. Reran today. Here's what came back:
▸ ChatGPT Plus / GPT-5.5: 95M → 37M tokens/week (−61%)
▸ Claude Max 20× / Sonnet 4.6: 388M → 214M (−45%)
▸ Claude Max 20× / Opus 4.7: 248M → 162M (−35%)
▸ Claude Pro / Sonnet 4.6: 19.6M → 11.4M (−42%)
▸ Claude Pro / Opus 4.7: 15.6M → 10.2M (−35%)
5 of 5 retested plans dropped 35-61% in five days. None went up.
Anyone else seeing similar in their own usage?
- panny 5mo agoVouched you. Side note: Perhaps include anchor tags with IDs so you can skip to a section like >Value over time by provider Via a #fragment at the end of your url. It looks like you're selling me something at the top of the page so I can see how you were flagged dead.
- wonderwhyer 5mo agoOuh, right, will try to add that anchor now! Damn I can't edit. But did add anchors to separate charts: https://desktopcommander.app/best-value-ai/#sub-tokens-timeline https://desktopcommander.app/best-value-ai/#sub-tokens-timel...
