Choosing between Claude Code, Codex, and GitHub Copilot
I was using Antigravity as my main AI-assisted IDE for more than a month now, but now it's unusable as they have enforced really strict limits. The Opus 4.5 limit gets exhausted with just 1-2 prompts, and they I have to wait for 2-3 days for it to reset.
What now?
I am looking for alternative and as I am working on a few serious projects now, I want an IDE with higher limits. I was looking to decide between Claude Code Max ($100/mo) and Cursor Pro+ ($60) plans, so I asked for suggestions and most people recommended Claude Code Max as it offers better value for money.
One person on Reddit also recommended GitHub Copilot as it gives you almost 500 Opus 4.5 requests each month in their Pro+ plan. But it turns out that it's not true, as sometimes, if the response is getting longer, it asks you to approve 3 more credits.
Update: I learned that the limit can be increased by configuring the max requests as a person pointed out on Reddit.
And it that case it will become even more costlier than Cursor or Claude Code itself, so this is ruled out.
I am leaning more towards Claude Code Max, it's costly but offers better value for money. And I am coding a lot these days so it will make more sense.
However, I am still waiting for 1-2 days before getting the subscription and evaluate each option correctly.
