For now. Who is to say in 5 years where everyone makes this THE default workflow things work go up in price?
Nope - I use a-la-carte pricing (through openrouter). I much prefer it over a subscription, as there are zero limits, I pay only for what I use, and there is much less of a walled garden (I can easily switch between Anthropic, Google, etc).
Same here, same reasons!
I’m running o3 dozens of times a day all for the subscription price of $20. Surely this is way more cost effective.
