If interference token costs are truly below api levels (excluding training costs), then a cheaper personal subscription & expensive api is an excellent price discrimination / marketing tool. Charging individual devs what they can pay and large corps what they can pay. Collect more revenue than a flat rate for both.

How are you going to price discriminate profitably when there is effectively no switching cost? Anthropic and OAI are also competing for revenue share in the same market segment.
