Claude is good for producing 1 shot polished apps, but you will quickly burn through your allowance.

Chatgpt needs more prompting to get what you want, but its nearly impossible to reach your limit.

I have the same experience with Claude, but it's been rare for me to hit limits. I tend to ask it one or two improvements to the app and then I have a time burden of using the app to make sure it's still what I intended. I have the $200 per year plan which I think is the same as $20 per month just I paid in bulk for a discount.

I get it to do my testing for me aswell.

That's a great idea! I'll try it out, it might save me a lot of time. I haven't really done user testing before, how do you test for things like 'still feels responsive ' and 'is easy to use one handed'? I'm currently running with 0 programmed tests but I do spend like 4+ hours just using the app between Claude sessions.

I write my goals. Claude drafts a plan. I then feed it to Claude Chrome extension for live testing. Claude Chrome extension will set up the console inspector, measure response times and change UA if it's part of the plan. I'm sure you could tell Claude Chrome extension "ok make this change on the fly" by injecting JS into the console and do AB testing and output the result in an easy to understand report.
