Claude Desktop App vs. Codex/ChatGPT Desktop App, Usage Limits, and Value Creation per token.
What is the consensus here? Does anyone actually prefer the Claude Desktop App experience? I’ve found myself really enjoying the latest overhaul to the ChatGPT/Codex Desktop experience, so much so I’ve upgraded to the Max 20x plan ($200/mo).
Not to mention the generous usage limits with OpenAI and their models’ performance the value creation happening per token and session.
I would love to hear thoughts from the Claude Community.
