I highly doubt anything more than a small single-digit percent of users are willing to pay $50-100 for a Claude subscription themselves. Just like everything else (if your company isn’t paying for a seat) 90% of people will just use the free tier, 7-8% will use the first paid tier, 2-3% use some kind of power user plan. It could end up being a whale-driven business model in the end.

I don’t think end users will purchases subscriptions out of their own pocket for work en masse.

If the value is there, companies will.
