Yeah Pro subscription. I realize building something targeting API is probably astronomically more expensive.

And I realize also that they are reducing churn by keeping the value there for subscribers. Not sure what that’s costing them, but it’s definitely holding me as a customer. The product works so well for me that I honestly don’t need to even glance at the competition.

And honestly, this has been the case since day one. I’ve always used Claude. ChatGPT a bit in the beginning, but it’s emoji fetish and “bro” personality gave me the ick so I dropped them.

A Tesla model S for $2,000 would also be a fantastic product. As would a $200 RTX 5090. Or an M6 MBP for $200.
