Feels like the shift from bundled value to pure usage billing
Feels less like a pricing update and more like anthropic gently patting enterprises on the back and whispering ‘welcome to the token economy, bestie’ no more free rides…only metered suffering now 🥹
I prefer metered billing. With fixed pricing, low usage people subsidize higher usage people, and highest level users simply end up throttled due to lack of capacity. The price is „low“, but you simply can’t get what you want done.
Paying for what you use incentivizes users to find more efficient work patterns (if they want to cut costs) and incentivizes utilities to build out to support higher usage.
Seat fee drops to $20 but now every token is metered on top, for heavy users that’s not a discount, that’s potentially tripling their bill. Classic „lower the headline, raise the total.“
Squeezing enterprise, lol.
I’ve got a mate who works in a top 5 Australia Claude user company. They start inviting you to events when you get to that level.
They are spending $100s per day per developer. At the top end of town, spending 10-20% of a developer salary on software to enhance their productivity is common place (across most of engineering actually).
As long as the productivity gain matches what they spend, they don’t care. They probably should care because it’s producing a generation of brain dead developers who will have 0x productivity without AI tools. Imagine Adobe level lock-in over pricing.
