You don't need a $200/mo plan, that's for people chewing through Opus tokens with multiple instances of Claude Code going in parallel. My impression is that most people just use the free ChatGPT tier, or $20/mo at most.

For coding or talking to it? $20 is ok to chat I guess. $100 is minimum if you do this for a job.

If you’re writing software professionally, does the “can’t afford to pay for Claude code” they were talking about apply?

You are feeding customer/employer code into systems that the customer/employer has not provisioned for you?

I run my own business, I am the employer.
