$20 plan showdown: user finds Codex far less token-efficient than Claude
cneuralnetwork · x · 2026-10-18
A user compared the $20 tiers of Codex and Claude: Codex's plan includes 44M tokens and they'd only burned 20%, while on Claude's $20 plan they consumed 100 million tokens and still had 90% left. Their takeaway: Codex is currently token-inefficient, and buying two Claude plans might be a better deal.
