Claude Code pricing: same tokens, same model, up to 40x the price

“These are list-price counterfactuals, not real bills.”

I always wonder what things in the future I will hate and younger generations will be fine with. Drones everywhere and total surveillance were my guesses. Having all copy on the planet be written by poorly executing “trillion monkeys with typewriters” machines wasn’t on my bingo card. And as always, it’s the fact that all that needs to be done is to proof the copy and edit it to make it better but that lack of effort signals to me that this is low effort work and not worth my time to engage with. If it’s not worth your time, it’s not worth mine.

I built an e-ink dashboard for tracking my Claude Code and Codex usage, https://github.com/stared/trmnl-x-claude-codex.

It makes me aware that while I am on $200/month Claude Code subscription, I spend ~$2000 worth in tokens per week.

Let's cherish this discount while it lasts!

Did anyone calculate this for OpenAI?
