While some people (my friends included) are out there paying $200 a month to OpenAI and Anthropic, I’d just like to share that if you need to save some money now is the time to cash in on the high valuations and free tiers that all the major LLMs provide.
I think most people on the $200 tiers could get 90% of what they want from a cheaper tier
When I’ve talked to friends about this, they’re ‘sure’ they’re maxing out or using it to it’s fullest, but I have a sneaking suspicion that if they were to try a cheaper / free tier setup they would probably be mostly fine.
So, if you have the money and enjoy it, continue on, but if you’ve been looking for a way to save $200-$180 a month, try the free tiers, they’re really just as good.
