Depends on how you pay for your AI... I've found Claude Haiku 4.5 to be comparable to Sonnet and SO MUCH CHEAPER. highly recommend.

Also, depends on what you're trying to do and how many "credits" it takes if you're going that route, or if you're using an AI provider subscription like nostr:npub1aeh2zw4elewy5682lxc6xnlqzjnxksq303gwu2npfaxd49vmde6qcq4nwx mentioned.

We are also adding apps to the Soapbox showcase so you can 'edit with Shakespeare' if you see one you like, which will drastically cut down on prompting costs. Can be a big shortcut!

Ya I'm just curious on Claude runtime cost.

Like I can run 2-4hr hard on Vercel for $10. Good quality now except for a few hangups.

That Shakespeare app is dog shit. Ate $5 before it's first output. Maybe because I selected middle tier (Claude?).

Just trying to learn the market.

nostr:npub1q3sle0kvfsehgsuexttt3ugjd8xdklxfwwkh559wxckmzddywnws6cd26p just made a great post about Claude pricing BTS that I'm sure most people aren't aware of:

I would clarify based on your note that *Shakespeare* isn't dogshit in your opinion, but that *Claude* is.

And Claude is known for being the Mercedes Benz of the market, if you're trying to learn the market.

This is why Shakespeare allows users to switch AI providers. You can choose the right one based on needs/budget. If you want to keep using Claude but at a lower price, I would switch to the new, cheaper model, Haiku 4.5.

That's very possible that Claude is the expensive part. That's what I'm trying to decipher. Will do another test.

Appreciate that.

Yeah. That’s why nostr:npub1q3sle0kvfsehgsuexttt3ugjd8xdklxfwwkh559wxckmzddywnws6cd26p is a stickler for giving folks freedom of choice.
