Question 1

GLM Max vs Muse Maximum for coding: which gives more building hours per dollar?

Accepted Answer

At p50 peak, GLM Max returns 0.27 building h/week per $/month (45 h/week for $168/mo) and Muse Maximum returns 0.17 building h/week per $/month (35 h/week for $200/mo), so GLM Max gives more building hours per dollar; GLM Max runs a benchmark-measured model for building (54.0/100 quality), the other does not; Muse Maximum hours are guessed — treat them as a guess.

Question 2

What do GLM Max and Muse Maximum cost?

Accepted Answer

$168/mo and $200/mo. Comparisons only pair plans within 1.5× of each other on price.

Question 3

Which of the two has an off-peak rate?

Accepted Answer

GLM Max does — peak Mon–Fri 07:00–11:00 London, building 45 h/week p50 peak → 90 h/week p50 off-peak. Muse Maximum does not (80x Everyday prompts per 5h window, no off-peak rate).
