Claude Opus 5.5 High vs Extra High vs Max vs Ultra 🧊
Everyone's been wondering: does effort really matter?
Same model. Same prompt. Only the setting changes.
High: $26.01 · 2h 17m 21s
Extra High: $45.97 · 3h 11m 26s
Max: $84.93 · 3h 37m 47s
Ultra: $681.91 · 10h 47m 40s
Ultra cost $681.91 for a 25-second film. 🤯
That's 26x High... and 8x Max. 😱
For me, Extra High is the sweet spot: quality, time and money. That's why I always pick it.
So, does effort really matter? Which one would you pick? 👀
