Many people buy two separate Claude pro subscriptions and that makes the limit become a non-issue. It works surprisingly well when you tend to hit the 5 hourly limit after a few hours, and hit the weekly limit after 4-5 days. $40 vs $100 is significant for a lot of people.

I'm using it via Copilot, now considering to also try Open Code (with Copilot license). I don't know if it's as good as Claude Code, but it's pretty good. You get 100 Sonnet requests or 33 Opus request in the subscription per month ($20 business plan) + some less powerful models have no limits (i.e. GPT 4.1), while extra Sonnet request is $0.04 and Opus $0.12, so another $20 buys 250 Sonnet requests + 83 Opus requests. This works for me better since I do not code all day, every single day. Also a request is a request, so it does not matter if it's just a plain edit task or an agent request, it costs the same.

Btw. I trust Microsoft / GitHub to not train on my data more (with the Business license) than I would trust Antrophic.

To be honest it feels very worth my $200/mo. And I “only” make $80k/year. I used to have two ChatGPT subs but Claude is just so much better.

Oh interesting. I've never used voice input on either so I can't comment, but understandable why you can't switch if it's disruptive to your workflow to do so.

I always add no nonsense no bullshit at the end of my prompt. Its annoying how itries to please the user.
