Codex vs Claude Code: what does each plan hold?

Neither OpenAI nor Anthropic publishes a token count for its weekly limit. This page sets their plans side by side at the same monthly price, model by model: weekly limit estimates, their value at API list prices, and available response times. Each plan's official rules, with their sources, are below the cards.

The cards' "At API prices" figure is what a full weekly limit, used every week, would cost a month at API list prices.

Speed

Daily response time by model from our local probe, scheduled at 00:10 UTC. Each point is the median completion time of three successful fresh single-turn responses to one fixed small task, at high reasoning effort and Standard/default service, or the Ultrafast service tier for the two Ultrafast lines. Dates are UTC; a model without three successful responses that day has no point.

Output speed

Tokens per second from the daily Nerf Watch run, scheduled at 01:00 UTC: total output tokens divided by total completion time across its four fixed tasks. Effort is low, except DeepSeek V4 Pro uses high, its lowest available variant. Service is Standard/default, or Ultrafast for the two Ultrafast lines. Output includes reported reasoning or thinking tokens once; OpenCode’s separately reported reasoning is added to output. Timing includes waiting within the measured turn and excludes setup and process exit. Higher is faster; dates are UTC.
