That’s the wrong question. The only question is “is this price reflective of 10x performance over the competition?”. The answer is almost definitely no.

It doesn't have to be 10x.

Imagine you have two options:

A) A $20/month service which provides you with $100/month of value.

B) A $200/month service which provides you with $300/month of value.

A nets you $80, but B nets you $100. So you should pick B.

Consider a $350k/year engineer.

If Claude increases their productivity 5% ($17.5k/yr), but CGPT Pro adds 7% ($24.5k), that's an extra $7k in productivity, which more than makes up for the $2400 annual cost. 10x the price, but only 40% better, but still worth it.

If I’m understanding their own graphs correctly, it’s not even 10x their own next lowest pricing tier.
