Here’s my feedback:
- I used to pay $20 plus about $120 a month and could do everything I needed to do. It was perfect
- Now, it’s a s**tshow, my cost has at least doubled, and I’m actively looking for alternatives
- If I switch to the agent + auto I get assigned random LLMs. Sometimes they are ok. Sometimes they complete mess things up and I have to undo everything but you don’t know that until after the fact. I don’t actually know which LLM I’m using so the results differ all the time. It’s pretty much useless
- Because the agent + auto is so bad, I’m basically forced to used a different solution. I choose sonnet + agent as it’s the best and most reliable which has, at least doubled my cost
- Everything was working perfectly before. You could have just done a price increase from $20 - $25/mo and I’m pretty sure 99% of people would have been ok with it
- This whole s**tshow sounds like the finance team making product and tech decisions. Fire whoever that person is because they are a cancer that will kill your business
- You can literally install VS code and use any one of a dozen plugins, add your own API keys, plug into openrouter and use free LLMs and off you go. There are pros and cons to this but I’m pretty sure the pros far outweigh the cons of this pricing situation.
