Both intermittently depending on the project tbh.
For lighter code we use Sonnet, more complex stuff, Opus, just depends on the projects application, programming language and whether its in-house or saleable, our in house programmer spends a few hours tweaking, cleaning and testing the code to make sure it works how we need it to, which frees his time up to focus on more important projects, rather than spending weeks/months writing and debugging.
ChatGPT is used for consumer products primarily where we use Claude for more B2B solutions, both in-house and commerce specific here in the UK market. We're currently in contact with a government dept about them allowing us to use their logo on an age verification project, it just sucks the gov here is slow af, so who knows how long thats going to take to actually happen (or rather how many elections its going to be before the end of the year
).

for api access you get charged by tokens, and that is when it may get pricey  no limits though.

We priced out Claude vs. ChatGPT and the difference between both for our specific consumer usage is only around $0.08 per project, my real concern is speed, we're currently creating upwards of 1000 new products a week with GPT (using an application we had Clause code from the ground up lol) and its running us around $0.12 per, the main issue we're running into with GPT is that it isnt hitting word counts enough with a 20-30% loss on target. A few test runs on Claude and that figure was 5-10% over word count on the exact same specs
We just have to add a module into the existing application that gives it an option to utilize Claude too, instead of just GPT so we can split products based on the niche to specific models, as well as a few more JSON templates for image creation.
At $14-$18 per sale, the profit margins are exceptional (even after distributors cut) and its allowing us to expand our product lines significantly.
I genuinely wish I'd have made the choice to go the AI route a lot sooner than I did instead of questioning its long-term business viability, some of the projects I/we have been putting off for a year or two are finally reaching fruition thanks to using AI to do the grunt work on all the time consuming crap we do on the daily.
It just sucks the distributors we use all have CSRF on their submission forms, or we'd have had an application created to do the submissions too, thats legit what takes us the most time in getting product to market right now
