$100/Month AI Model vs $5/Month AI Model
Two models, one sentence, one website each, built side by side. No code and no coaching, and one of them cost a hundred dollars a month more than the other.
Notes
Two AIs. One sentence. One website each. I didn’t write a single line of code, and one of these cost me a hundred bucks a month more than the other.
Here’s the setup. I gave Claude on the $100 Max plan and GLM 5.2 the exact same one-sentence instruction at the same time, and let them each build a full website from scratch. No coaching, no back and forth, no touching the keyboard. Both running side by side inside Kiro. I sat there and watched.
If you’re new to all this and the AI stuff makes you nervous, this is a good one to start with. There’s no code on your end. You describe what you want, it builds it.
