| Is codex a good alternative? Or does Claude have a moat... |

| Well this latest outage has me forming a position that a backup is mandatory. I've been using Codex for adversarial-review, so with this outage I'm now going to ensure the repo is tooled up to use both agents, and when an outage hits just switch over and keep going. |

| Better at planning, worse at execution. Ultimately, creates a working product. |

| ▲ | airstrike 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | If you mean Codex is better at planning, I've heard the exact opposite. I'm told it's a beast if you tell it exactly what you need as it will execute it to the T whereas Claude will push back or do its own thing either because it thinks it's wrong or because it's feeling lazy | | |
| ▲ | mvkel 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I use superpowers with both and have found the plan generation in codex to be a bit more thorough, so it's not the native planning mode necessarily | |

| ▲ | nateguchi 6 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | What about usage / quota? | | |
| ▲ | diego_sandoval 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Much better than Claude. I've never hit the quota on Codex. On Claude (Code), I used to hit it every other day before switching to Codex. | | |
| ▲ | arcanemachiner 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I hears they just shrunk the Plus tier quota. People on /r/codex have been complaining for a few days now. They're trying to push people to their new $100 tier, which has a boosted quota for now. | |
| ▲ | swiftcoder 6 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I've started hitting Codex quota regularly for the first time the last couple of weeks, so I feel like they might be tightening the screws on the $20/month plan too. Someone paying for Max might have to work at it to hit the quota | |
| ▲ | nateguchi 6 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | After switching how is the code quality? |
| |
| ▲ | pyr0hu 6 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Much much better. Meanwhile you could exhaust Claude quota in 2 prompts, you can pretty much use Codex all day. | |

| I think the only correct answer here is: It depends, on so many different things. Usage is definitely way more generous with codex and it isn't even close. |
