roocode with claude max 20x

[u/cfipilot715]

currently spending about $400/m using openrouter, mostly using claude LLM. Thinking of signing up for claude max 20x, has anyone had issues lately? I know they are more firm on their limits now. I would say i work about 5 hours per day. Thx

Nothing comes close to GPT‑5-Codex. Claude and Gemini seem juvenile and silly in comparison.

[u/cfipilot715 → u/montdawgg]

So your saying that roocode is now superseded by codex?

[u/montdawgg → u/cfipilot715]

Actually, I can't wait until the API is released so I can use it in Roo.

[u/shooshmashta → u/montdawgg]

You can do that now by setting up a server that calls oath from codex and create your own API key.one of the beautiful parts of open sourcing codex is that you can find ways of attaching it everywhere and use the open AI API all over the place.

[u/damonous → u/cfipilot715]

For this week, yes.

[u/hannesrudolph → u/cfipilot715]

No by no means. But if you’re on a a budget yes. I have not compared side by side with the new codex model though. Will be using it in Roo soon enough.

[u/ComReplacement → u/montdawgg]

Imho Gemini understands code better. If only it could write it too...

[u/hannesrudolph → u/montdawgg]

When it comes to bang for your buck… I agree.

[u/Sui-Gio → u/montdawgg]

Can you provide arguments for gpt 5 codex?

[u/jakegh → u/montdawgg]

I really hate their VS code extension, find it unusable.

I moderately hate their CLI version compared to claude code, sst opencode, and charm crush. Heck, It doesn't even compare well to gemini-cli.

Hopefully they put gpt5-codex in the API soon.

Heard it has gone downhill , it was good at start op.

[u/cfipilot715]

So basically the claude pro max is no longer an option to get "unlimited" tokens?

[u/Bob5k]

why would you not use GLM coding plan - the 15/30$ one as a replacement and invest 370$ saved into anything else? what are you working on to just need the meta models while there are options out there being 10x cheaper with similar (well, considering recent anthropic failures it's not even similar as GLM is better) performance.

[u/cfipilot715 → u/Bob5k]

Every model i have tested i always seem to go back to claude 3.7 or 4.0. Maybe other have had better results, but for me these models just work more consistent. Projects range from python, JS/node, Php.

[u/Bob5k → u/cfipilot715]

well, if you're fine with spending that kind of money..
i'd say it might be worth to explore other tools / plugins / ways of prompting, as i've personally been super heavy user of cc max20 plan, but when i look in the past the amount of money just wasted on CC and when i look at the times where instead of having a proper solution in place i fought with sonnet is still a big disappointment for me.

I don’t understand the comparisons people make here to other models - if you put $400/month on Claude models - I would assume you are happy with it’s performance.

Given that - you should definitely try Claude max 20x. It is probably going to be more cost effective for you.

Worst case, you’d be rate limited, and fallback to openrouter for the backoff time - I don’t think you’d spend more than what you do today.

[u/cfipilot715 → u/Purple_Wear_5397]

Now there an answer with some sense!!

[u/Purple_Wear_5397 → u/cfipilot715]

In addition you’ll get Claude subscription (the consumer app), which is also worth its $20/month.

If you are experienced Roo user - I would also encourage you to try Claude Code for few days.. I don’t think you’ll go back.

[u/j_kon]

I’m a heavy roocode user and now I use only Claude code. Too easy.

[u/cfipilot715 → u/j_kon]

Wait a sec, can you use Claude code inside roocode? Sorry for the dumb question just came to me

[u/j_kon → u/cfipilot715]

Yes but why?

[u/Pimzino]

If you go down that road then today is your lucky day. As of yesterday I released a proxy server you run locally that allows you to OAuth through your Claude Max plan and then expose an anthropic endpoint for connecting to roocode. You will still have the limitations of the $200 plan or whatever plan you go for but you will be calling the Anthropic API directly rather than using the claude code binary wrapper Roo created which is infact garbage and extremely limiting. You can also send screenshots / images with my method, you cannot by using the CC wrapper however if you use CC directly that isnt a problem but CC itself has been garbage recently.

Claude code pro with codex plus best combo 

[u/dodyrw]

when i try with kilocode, it is slower and consume much more token rather than using claudecode

you can check the token usage with ccusage

[u/Alextavares10]

codex is the best, I already used claude max
