If i'm happy to pay 20 in retirement just for the odd bit of writing help, then i can easily imagine it being worth 200 to someone with a job



Yep. I’m currently paying for both Claude and chatgpt because they’re good at different things. I can’t tell whether this is extremely cheap or expensive - last week Claude saved me about a day of time by writing a whole lot of very complex sql queries for me. The value is insane.


yeah, as someone who is far from programming, the amount of time and money it saved me helping me make sql queries and making php code for wordpress is insane. It even helped me fix some wordpress plugins that had errors and you just copy paste or even screenshot those errors until they get fixed! If used correctly and efficiently the value is insane, I would say $20, $200 is still cheap for such an amazing tool.


The problem isn't whether ChatGPT Pro can save you $200/mo (for most programmers it can.)

The problem is whether it can saves you $180/mo more than Claude does.


I kind of feel this is a kick in the face.

Now I'll forever be using a second rate model because I'm not rich enough.

If I'm stuck using a second rate model I may go find someone else's model to use.
