I’m currently paying for Claude and using it to help me make some fairly complex macros in MacroDroid. I’m not a programmer, but Claude has been really good at understanding what I’m trying to do and turning it into the right MacroDroid setup and JSON. I’m using Opus 5 rather than Fable 5 because Fable 5 seems to use up my limit much quicker. The problem is that I keep hitting the usage limit with Claude and then I’m told I have to wait around three hours before I can carry on. So I’m thinking about trying something else. My two main questions are really simple: Which AI is best for coding? And which one lets you use it for the longest without hitting a limit? I’m looking at the normal paid plans around £18–£20 a month. I’m not paying £100 or £200 a month for an AI. I know Claude is meant to be one of the best for coding, which is why I chose it, but I’d be happy using something that’s slightly worse at coding if it means I can actually keep using it throughout the day without constantly getting locked out. For anyone who uses AI a lot for coding, what would you recommend? Which one is actually good at coding AND lets you use it for hours without constantly hitting a limit? That’s probably my biggest issue with Claude at the moment. submitted by /u/quat1e

It’s my belief that this model will eventually die and you’ll need to pay for actual usage. The Claude pro subscription almost certainly loses them money over pure credits.
