I'm starting to explore alternative options because Claude has become an awful value proposition. Any suggestions?

I turned off Anthropic properly and switched all of that over to OpenAI yesterday. (I use other models for other things too, especially DeepSeek in Pi).

Honestly aside from the voice it uses you wouldn't notice a difference. Switching costs are low, vote with your wallet.

codex (their app) is pretty good and lots of banked resets, luna is cost effective and Astra seems better than Fable for many tasks. Most important one is less refusals and I can use it the way I want without the fear of getting banned. I do like Claude Code a lot when it comes to pure coding use cases but the work often touches outside code and I don't want to keep switching

Of the major providers, Codex/Astra. By far the highest quality model, especially for cross-discipline work.

Opencode Go.
