Anything over 150 seats means you need to pay at token rates plus the $20/user. My day job is operational (no coding at all) and I'm spending ~$300 a month on a few chats with Claude/Cowork a day over the course of a month.
reply$300 is my employer's monthly cap on Claude Enterprise. It lasts me at most a week of moderate use. I would much rather get Codex Pro and Claude Pro or Max, which would cost ≤ $200. For $300, one could also add Gemini Ultra to the mix so I could have all three review each other's code, etc.
replyClaude can be very good but enterprise pricing doesn't make sense to me.
The $200 plan you're talking about is subsidized by Anthropic. They cannot afford to keep offering that to everyone indefinitely. Absolute best case scenario for current users is that they can continue to subsidize it as way to sell enterprise plans, but there's no way that they can keep offering it to everyone at those prices.
replyI hope your company is keeping the input/response pair in case they need to break free at some point.
replyWouldn’t people mostly just want any artifacts?
replyYep, where I work I know people easily spending over a few thousand dollars a month.
replyGovernance and audit trail are incredibly valuable to large enterprise organizations, especially those working in regulated spaces. Companies will pay a premium if the security/privacy/compliance issues are handled effectively.
replyWe are on it at my job. It saves money due to other parts of the org not using as many tokens.
replyThe real cost effective way is giving a team $20 cursor $20-100 Claude $20-200 codex.
I'm spending 1k on Claude enterprise easily and that's with trying to spread it on codex and cursor using pi.
I've heard that the $20/seat gets waved if you have large enough committed spend.
replyWould they even care at that scale, if the average employee spends $3000 every month because mgmt mandates slopmaxxing?
