Most real businesses are on API billing, not Max.

My company currently uses the Anthropic Enterprise subscription plan, but we’ve been informed that’s going away in 2027 in favor of API billing. If businesses are using subscriptions, I don’t think they will for long.

None of the companies I deal with (~40) are on the API. Some where, but that experiment lasted a month.

Until they go public, we are all just guessing.

You have said this in a few places throughout the thread. At this point, citation is needed.

I work for a real business and switched from API billing to max+overflow. It saves money. It’s crazy not to. What are you talking about?

If your definition of "real businesses" is "Fortune 500, US based tech company with more money than sense or just happy to bleed VC money", sure, 99.999% of businesses are not real businesses.

You may also have a very narrow view of how the world actually works, left as an exercise to the reader to figure out which one it is
