I mean all big businesses (150+ peep) have to pay that much, it's the reality of the times. Getting some AI imho essential/good, one 200$ plan or spending 5000-7000$ per engineering team sure, 100$ plans or 3000$ for most semi technical staff definitely.
But if you are telling me I am wasting like a good 10-20% of my tokens on summaries I might as well stop using your service, worst part is claude doesn't let you use something else.
