Artificial intelligence companies are making clear a message: accessing the most advanced functions of their chatbots requires paying, and increasingly. It is not a completely new something, but now they begin to appear subscription plans with three -digit prices.
At the end of 2024, Openai surprised with Chatgpt Pro, a modality of 200 dollars a month focused on professional users. It was an important leap compared to the Plus Plan of 20 dollars. Now it is Anthropic’s turn, which has launched its own premium proposal for Claude: we are talking about the Max Plan.
Claude Max: More use, more expensive. Anthropic, founded by former OpenAI members, offers two variants of the Max Plan. The first costs $ 100 per month (about 90 euros plus VAT) and multiplies the use available in the 20 dollars for five. The second elevates the commitment to $ 200 per month (180 euros plus VAT), with twenty times more use than the basic plan.
Both options are already available for those who need a capacity to use much greater than the standard.
What does Anthropic offer in front of Openai? Both the 100 and 200 dollars plan give priority access to new functions and models, but with an important difference with respect to OpenAI. While Chatgpt Pro boasts of unlimited use, Claude Max imposes limits. They are quite generous, but they are there.
Is the AI Price uploading? Artificial intelligence progresses fast and companies are taking advantage of that evolution to launch increasingly expensive plans with premium functions. Scott White, Product Manager of Anthropic, has already dropped in an interview with TechCrunch that could launch even more expensive subscriptions in the future.
A career expensive towards profitability Startups such as Openai or Anthropic are not yet profitable. Openai has marked 2029 as a goal, according to The Information. Anthropic, meanwhile, continues to increase its income while trying not to be left behind. Along the way, he continues to burn resources as if there were no tomorrow.
Startups has some notable advantages, such as the ability to assume high levels of risk and, above all, move very fast. Google or Microsoft, meanwhile, do not have these advantages, but their strength is in a financial support that allows them to move forward even if some of their most ambitious projects fail.
