I can agree. ChatGPT 5.5 made this a no-brainer choice. Anthropic are idiots removing Claude Code from the Pro plan. They need to ask Claude if what they did was a natural intelligence bug! Greed kills companies, too!

> I can agree. ChatGPT 5.5 made this a no-brainer choice

The new model that came out less than 24 hours ago made this obvious? This feels like when a new video game comes out and there's 1,000 steam reviews glazing it in the first hours of release. Don't you think you should use it for longer than a day before declaring it a game changer?

		Plus, I don't like Anthropic allowing "chosen people" to access models - OpenAI would offer anything to anybody who's willing to pay for it, and that's a real business. Anthropic claims some moral superiority, but their model is used to kill civilians in Iran and to spy on all of us, so I don't buy their BS!

		Yes, even 5.4 was better.

>removing Claude Code from the Pro plan

Wait really? I wanted to give it a try, but for $200 a month no way am I paying that for something I just want to experiment around with

		It was all over the Hacker News, but they do have a $100/mo Max plan. But so does OpenAI now, too. I guess companies assume people are willing to cough up hundreds of dollars per month, and we are. I need to review all my AI subscriptions, as it's over $1,000 per month now - $250 for Gemini Ultra (although it comes with tons and tons of other benefits), plus, it could be shared with my family - other companies live in a world where families don't exist, and people don't share a work laptop for both personal and corporate stuff. Add $200 for Claude Max and $100 for ChatGPT Pro. Add Cursor, add Zed, add Lovable, add a bunch of other things I'm experimenting with... It's getting expensive!

		Let me take this back - you are probably grandfathered into having Claude Code in your Pro plan though! Now I feel sorry I upgraded to Max as I could've kept Pro, just in case, but now I will just have to cancel it if I want to move to ChatGPT, or Gemini 4 when it's out, and if it's worth it. They need to consult with AI when making such stupid choices, honestly!
