Help with choosing the right plan

A user seeks advice on choosing between GLM Coding Plan ($18/month) with Zcode for GLM-5.3 Flash and non-Flash models, or ChatGPT Plus ($20/month) with Codex for GPT 5.6. The user is impressed by the agent-mode workflow of GPT 5.6 Sol, which researches, develops, and executes code autonomously. While GLM is estimated to be more cost-efficient per task despite taking longer, its web interface lacks external website access, a feature available in GPT. The user is looking for recommendations from those who have experience with both options.

This user's direct comparison of GLM Coding Plan and ChatGPT Plus highlights the trade-offs between cost-efficiency and web interface capabilities, unlike general feature lists.
