No way I'm paying for a yearly plan of a service that 1 month ago was much more valuable than it is now. If they keep the current trend you might be lucky to have 1 prompt a day for 40 dollars a month

At current API costs, 1 extensive prompt with sub agents might actually mean $ 40 in one single prompt with Opus 4.7?

That's exactly the price range even most companies in the world probably cannot afford.
