I find -again- Claude (web) here outstanding & very comfortable:
In most of my discussions throughout the day, it doesnt ask any "follow up" questions at the end. Very often it says thingslike: "you have two options: A - ..... and B - while the one includes X and the other Y..."
But this is was OP underlined: Claude is popular amongst businesses, most "non-tech" people dont even know that it exists.
Don't worry, claude will follow soon enough. It's not like anthropic faces different financial pressures than openai.
In case of Anthropic I just expect them to raise prices sky-high :-D
What would be the price at which you would stop subscribing? Im in tech, so I would willing to pay around up to 100 - 120 USd per month, Id guess (Im currently onthe 20 USD plan, which is supercheap and contains enough tokens currently)
But most private users ("at home") would not pay 100 USD+ per month? Spotify is around ~ 240/250 USD per year
Private users can switch to kimi. Model performs basically the same on programming tasks and is 10x cheaper. Why pay for a fat subscription when you can get an equivalent product for less?
