Because nobody’s paying for tokens, they’re paying for monthly plans and right now those are still a better bargain.
replyIndividuals, sure. For enterprise you can't get monthly plans. You have to pay per token.
replyIt's a bit like saying "nobody pays for Microsoft Office". I certainly don't know anyone personally who has. Students get a free Education License and then your employer provides one for you...
Strange. This is what they got at my company. I do not remember anyone mentioning paying for tokens. Maybe because it is fairly small, couple of hundred people in IT.
replyOfficially it's not available anymore. But there are team plans that are not enterprise, so if you are small enough and fine with the data protection included in those maybe that is what you're working with? And I do know NGOs were offered seat based plans after they were officially not available anymore.
replyAlso: This change came in in March so if you got your contract before then this will only bite once you renew.

Ah past renewal... So probably in next contract there will be a lot of thinking if we still need that.
replyCurious: Anybody have comparison what is the difference when company is changing to token based billing? How many times it is bigger than 200$ subscription?
