Imagine paying $20 a prompt?


Depending on how many prompts per hour you're looking at, that's probably same order of magnitude as expensive SAAS. A fancy CRM seat can be ~$2000 per month (or more), which assuming 50 hours per week x 4 weeks per month is $10 per hour ($2000/200 hours). A lot of money, but if it makes your sales people more productive, it's a good investment. Assuming that you're paying your sales people say 240K per year, ($20,000 per month), then the SAAS cost is 10% of their salary.

This explains DataDog pricing. Maybe it will give a future look at AI pricing.


If I can give it a detailed spec, walk away and do something else for 20 minutes, and come back to work that would have taken me 2 hours, then that's a steal.


You can just do this now though. In fact you could go a step further and set up the GitHub Action, then you can kick off Claude from the iOS GitHub app from the beach and review the PR when it's done.
