It remains to be seen whether it's a net value once the VC firehose dries up and the true costs are revealed. It's quite possible that the profitable price is not worth it for most companies.

I'm pretty sure that the $100 / $200 plans are a net profit for Anthropic. Most users (including myself) don't come close to the usage limit.

I've been trying to max out the $100 plan and I have a problem where I run out of stuff to ask it to do. Even when I try to have multiple side projects at once, Claude just gets stuff done, and then sits idle.

It can still be a lot more expensive and be cheaper than a human, it might mean less chance taking and spending the money to try set it up and see if it works though. More existing setups, less new setups.
