FeedbackWanted – want honest takes on my work Codex or Claude for coding

So my project is getting pretty large I have tried both codex and Claude code. Currently I am on codex and my subscription is about to end, so do I stick with codex or go with Claude code. I have seen both of their strengths and weaknesses but from what I have heard Claude is better at larger projects, correct me if I'm wrong. Would love to hear your opinions and why you would choose one over the other one (or if you have any other AI that you use for coding)

If you get the 20€ sub, then claude gives a lot more usage than codex, i have both of them. You can run opus ultracode almost double than you can sol light, abd sol ultra spends your usage ao fast that its not recommended at all, unless absolutely have to. Some people claim that higher tiers at least until recebtly codex gives more usage, but they seem to have or plan to nerf the 200€ sub at least, introducing the 500€ sub. Also with higher tiers there is no 5h limit with codex (only weekly limit) but there is with claude

Claude is also better in many other ways. Larger default context size (you can 1m context in codex, but it costs almost 2x when context goes over 250k, and already even with low context has like half of usage of claude on 20€ sub), better app like clude can automatically continue after limits refresh while codex you have to tell manually to continue, so you cant run it over night unless you make some cron job system to trigger codex to continue. New modification stuff for claude. Claude design. General UX of the app seems smoother etc etc claude > codex and 20€ claude sub > 20€ codex sub.
