> t insane price of Opus

I believe Opus starts at $20 a month, similar to GPT5 if you want more than just cursory usage.

Or am I missing something?

For $20/month you get Opus in-browser chat access, and Sonnet claude code access.

If you want to use Opus in claude code, you've got to get the $100/month plan - or pay API prices. And agentic coding uses a lot of tokens.

Yes you are missing something:

    Claude Opus 4.1

    Most intelligent model for complex tasks
    Input  $15 / MTok
    Output $75 / MTok
    Prompt caching
      Write $18.75 / MTok
      Read  $1.50 / MTok

I see. Do you know of a resource that does an across-the board apples-to-apples comparison between the different services (knowing they all price slightly differently)?

It would be useful to be able to easily compare what it costs across the big providers: Gemini, Grok, Claude, ChatGPT.
