I built a dashboard analyzing the sentiment between Claude Code and Codex on Reddit comments. The analysis searched for comments comparing Claude Code vs Code then used Claude Haiku to analyze the sentiment, and which model was preferred. It also lets you filter by various categories such as speed, workflows, problem-solving, and code quality. You can also weight by upvotes to make the comparison by upvotes rather than raw comment numbers.
Takeaways:
* Codex wins on sentiment (65% of comments prefer Codex, 79.9% of upvotes prefer Codex).
* Claude Code dominates discussion (4× the comment volume).
* GLM (a newer Chinese player) is quietly sneaking into the conversation, especially in terms of cost
* On specific categories, Claude Code wins on speed and workflows. Codex won the rest of the categories: pricing, performance, reliability, usage limits, code generation, problem solving, and code quality.
