My work pays for the $200 sub for me. At work in a typical 5h slot I tend to use 35~40% of the usage limit, so the $100 sub wouldn’t let me keep my current workflow and AI usage but I am more often than not using 2x the $100 sub. We’ll see if they keep paying for this or not, because we are not yet sure if using AI like this is sustainable and worth the tech debt of moving faster
But that is your employer paying a license (probably in bulk, I have no idea how much B2B sales cost for AI). My employer pays licenses for a lot of things that I probably wouldn't pay personally.
The person I was replying to said the average developer pays 200$. I call bullshit on that one.
I mean, I imagine some top% vibe coding bros paying 200$. I would require some serious evidence that the average developer pays for it.
I certainly wouldn't. It's moderately useful, but not 200$/mo useful.
