   I might be missing something but when I went to their site they are more expensive than Claude. Why would I pick GLM over Claude? Is it they just offer more tokens in their plans?

      What are you referring to? Given the audience, my instinct is to assume "plan" refers to the GLM Coding Plans, which are all cheaper than their Anthropic counterparts. As far as I can tell, the API costs are also all cheaper than their roughly equivalently capable Anthropic models.

         Anthropic: 17 USD (pro), 100 USD (max)

         GLM: 80 USD (pro), 168 USD (max) -> with "limited-time event" discount this becomes 56 USD and 117.6 USD

         I also don't understand why are they so much costlier, and I would also like to give it a try.

            GLM's "Max" plan is (was?) equivalent to 3x Claude's 20x ($200) plan.
