Things to keep in mind:
• Claude Design uses Opus 4.7, which is more expensive than earlier models.
• It's just Day 2; it's not a finished product. It's ridiculous how quickly Anthropic iterates.
• If you've been using Claude for a while, Design already knows your style and preferences. You'd have to start from scratch using a different AI design tool. I don’t doubt that'll pay dividends in the long run.
It will never be cheaper than what it is today. Anthropic is heavily subsidizing.
Be glad it's not Day 200: Opus models are only getting more expensive to use.
They can iterate fast, because their devs and only their devs have access to the best Claude Code on the planet.
