with all the hype around kimi i actually renewed my subscription (last time i tried it out was on 2.5 release) - just the 40€ one.

Its hard to compare that one to my regular sub of anthropic (107€), but everyone always says how much cheaper it is so i thought it was worth a try.

1.5 days later ive went through more then 50% of my weekly usage and decided to renew the regular anthropic sub too.

The API Pricing is definitely cheaper, but anthropics subscription budget seems to equalize that advantage right now. also kimi code feels like claude code from ... september 2025

also - considering how they announced they'd temporarily close subscriptions to make sure they can service customers... i was slightly surprised that there was no issue subscribing, less then 1 day after that announcement. Makes you think if that was just a marketing stunt
