I prefer being able to get through a day without running out of usage.
I tried both sol and astra and they both decimated the $100/mo plan’s weekly limits in a single day running only 1 agent. Blew my mind. I’d always heard your subscription went further on OpenAI/Codex.
Comparatively I can run multiple opus agents in parallel almost continuously and stay under my limits.
I've always preferred GPT over Claude, but TBH the releases after GPT 5.6 Sol plus the surprise of cutting my usage in half is making me want to jump to anthropic and give Opus 5.5 a shot.
It doesn't suffer the same verbosity issue and the writing is somewhat clearer.
The vision capabilities of Astra are a bit better I believe.
That said, Opus is 3x cheaper and the obvious winner when usage is considered.
