I pay more for a faster PC and a bigger screen.

I also pay for better AI. My - and probably your time - and the time saved by using superior tooling, is worth far more than the meagre few dollars spent each month on some subscription.

AI tooling that costs money does not provide anything better than the freely available tools. If you built some product upon it, I'm sorry but your product is not worth a dime.
