Are we talking about the same thing? I just double-checked Anthropic still offers per-seat plans. So does OpenAI though they split the Codex-only plan away from per-seat. Gemini does as well. There’s pooled usage over certain limits but it’s still a good deal to upgrade the seat of a heavy user.

What happened two months ago?

Yes, once you’re over some threshold (most recently 150 seats), you have to pay the per-seat fee PLUS usage.

And once you can make a certain threshold of commit, the seats are free and all you pay is usage. They are definitely making a margin on the usage.

In other words, this article is, I wouldn’t say misinformed, but definitely underinformed.
