  1. Why does every AI company push a $20/month subscription and bury the API?

    Because they sell predictability, not compute. A $100 Claude sub can easily be worth $10,000 in tokens — yet metered billing is hidden. Subscribers also use far less than they think, and a fixed fee is psychologically simpler.

    The economics behind the subscribe-first strategy:

  6. Everyone knows that in the Cocaine pricing model, the first 3 hits are free -- then you gotta pay!

    Same with AI ... Software vendors and AI model providers have been giving AI away for free to spur adoption by enterprises. Can you say “unmetered,” “complimentary,” or “included” scenarios.

    Those “complimentary" subsidies are starting to disappear, as the AI industry transitions to Pay-Per-Use pricing models.

    This means investing in AI is NOT just an IT procurement decision, it is now an "organizational design decision". hbr.org/2026/08/how-to-respond #AI #AICosts #AIPricing #HBR #Subsidized #Budgets #AIBudgeting #Pricing #Subscription #AI_Token #TokenConsumption #Enterprise_IT #AI_Token_Budgets

  11. تعتزم شركة DeepSeek زيادة أسعار واجهة برمجة التطبيقات (API) بشكل كبير، لكنها لم تكشف بعد عن المعدلات الجديدة أو موعد سريانها. أبلغت الشركة المطورين وحثتهم على مراجعة خطط استخدامهم، مع بقاء الأسعار الحالية سارية حتى إشعار آخر. يأتي هذا القرار بعد إطلاق نموذجها الجديد DeepSeek-V4-Flash، وقد يؤثر الارتفاع المخطط له على ميزتها التنافسية القائمة على الأسعار المنخفضة، خاصة مع تزايد المنافسة من شركات مثل Anthropic وOpenAI.

  14. New blog post: AI Pricing — A More Nuanced Take.
    In April I argued AI prices would keep rising. More likely: they'll stratify. Frontier gets more expensive, mid-tier becomes a commodity — but a sticky one, as tuning and embedding into a company's data make implementations hard to leave. That customisation is the next SAP-style revenue engine.
    The dependency to guard against isn't the model. It's everything built around it.
