Who is selling these with enterprise trappings? What you're describing evaporated 2+ months ago. Everything is metered for enterprise users now. If there happens to be a stray vendor offering this I'd wager 2 things. 1) it's about to be phased out. 2) model limits will be in place so even that $200 plan won't go very far.

Are we talking about the same thing? I just double-checked Anthropic still offers per-seat plans. So does OpenAI though they split the Codex-only plan away from per-seat. Gemini does as well. There’s pooled usage over certain limits but it’s still a good deal to upgrade the seat of a heavy user.

What happened two months ago?

Anthropic's Enterprise plan is per-seat, but that's just for access, isn't it? The actual usage per seat is billed at API rates. https://support.claude.com/en/articles/9797531-what-is-the-e...

Yes, once you’re over some threshold (most recently 150 seats), you have to pay the per-seat fee PLUS usage.

And once you can make a certain threshold of commit, the seats are free and all you pay is usage. They are definitely making a margin on the usage.

In other words, this article is, I wouldn’t say misinformed, but definitely underinformed.
