The fact that individuals are more likely to use the alternatives than businesses is telling.

Anthropic is fine, as long as someone else (a clueless employer drinking Dario Koolaid) is paying for it. But the moment you have to pay for it, people just bail and go for DeepSeek, Kimmi, OpenRouter, OpenCode Go and other alternatives that give more bang for the buck than Anthropic.

Yep. That's my case.

I now have unlimited Anthropic and OpenAI plans at work because CEOs bought the hype.

But for personal projects $10/mo OpenCode Go serves me with DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiMo 2.5 and GLM 5.2.
