Article is mistaken these subs are not available to businesses. Companies are paying much closer to API prices. The strategy is to get you accustomed to infinite tokens on your personal sub and bet that behavior transfers to work.

They are available. Seats for team or enterprise plans cost more than the retail prices, but they are fixed prices with resetting usage limits. You can assign seats to members that are the equivalent of $20/$100/$200/mo plans.

You can also do everything metered. There are multiple ways to buy.

Who is selling these with enterprise trappings? What you're describing evaporated 2+ months ago. Everything is metered for enterprise users now. If there happens to be a stray vendor offering this I'd wager 2 things. 1) it's about to be phased out. 2) model limits will be in place so even that $200 plan won't go very far.

		Are we talking about the same thing? I just double-checked Anthropic still offers per-seat plans. So does OpenAI though they split the Codex-only plan away from per-seat. Gemini does as well. There’s pooled usage over certain limits but it’s still a good deal to upgrade the seat of a heavy user. What happened two months ago?

Yeah, I was confused about why it was talking about subscriptions for enterprise. The company I work at is billed on API usage.

Looks more like AI slop with paragraphs like these; > The pattern is identical across the board. Price for adoption, not for economics. Lock organizations in. Make AI a load-bearing part of every team's daily workflow. Worry about the bill later.

Not only that, but the API rate amounts being pearl clutched over in the article are still relatively trivial. 10k a month is not nothing, but when 10k a month enables a team of ~10-20 engineers, that's pretty good leverage.
