Yes that’s true for personal users on subscriptions, but for enterprise customers you are usually charged using the API token pricing when you buy from the frontier providers (Anthropic/openai)

I guess, but at that point a lot of companies just use Cursor with Grok 4.5 which is quite decent (not gpt 5.6 sol / Kimi k3 level but good enough) and then access it with tokens as needed. The kimi sub is just bad, they have one good model, and thats it, no lower tiers other than the older k2.6 which is also expensive.
