User reports Codex Sol 6.1 is far more expensive than Claude Opus 5.5

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on Reddit reported a significant cost disparity between Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 and OpenAI's Codex Sol 6.1 for a SaaS application in the architecture and interior design sector. The user found that scraping furniture and finishes websites for a large product catalog consumed a substantial portion of their Claude Opus 5.5 weekly limit. However, attempting the same task with Codex Sol 6.1 resulted in a much higher cost, using 40% of its weekly limit in just 30 minutes for a single brand, leading to frustration with OpenAI's pricing.
