Max is a product (Claude Code included); DevPass is a pipe (models at a discount, bring your own agent). DevPass can actually back Claude Code via its Anthropic-format API while also serving 200+ other models — real flexibility Max lacks. Max keeps first-party support, the chat bundle, and zero setup. Predictable moderate usage favors DevPass on price; simplicity and official support favor Max.
