Background & analysis
On October 29, 2026, a developer writing on DEV Community published a comparison of the $100-per-month coding-agent plans sold by Anthropic, OpenAI and GitHub. The piece focused not on raw features but on how each vendor counts and caps usage, arguing that the three schemes are not directly comparable.
According to the article, GitHub's Copilot Max gives subscribers 20,000 AI credits, with each credit worth $0.01. That makes the allowance straightforward to translate into dollars. On OpenAI's side, ChatGPT Pro starts at $100, and OpenAI's Codex pricing page states that Pro plans currently have no five-hour limit; the remaining usage is billed per million tokens. Anthropic's Claude Max 5x is described only as five times the Pro plan's per-session usage allowance, without any published base figure, so the actual volume available remains unclear.
The author concludes that the three vendors use mutually incomparable units. Only GitHub's numbers can be converted directly, while the allowances offered by Anthropic and OpenAI are difficult to weigh against one another. As of now, the comparison stands on this single post, with no follow-up developments reported from any of the three companies.

A developer compared the $100-a-month coding-agent plans from Anthropic, OpenAI and GitHub on DEV Community. Copilot Max grants 20,000 AI credits at $0.01 each, Codex models are priced per million tokens with no five-hour limit on Pro, and Claude Max 5x only promises "five times the Pro plan's per-session allowance" without disclosing that base. The units don't translate, so only GitHub's number can be converted into money.
