r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Use Claude 3 Opus from the API to prevent paying a flat $20/month for it
March 27, 2024 -
I highly recommend using Claude 3 Opus from the API, especially if you just want to try it out. It’s not free but the API doesn’t require an upfront flat fee and doesn’t have rate limits etc!
There’s some options for desktop like TypingMind.
For iOS I wanted to suggest my app called Pal Chat that lets you use your own API Key to chat with Claude, and it’s completely free to download: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pal-ai-chat-client/id6447545085
(The app also has no backend and takes absolutely no usage data. You can verify this by going to the app privacy report in iOS settings!)

Okay... but Opus is $75 per million tokens. For someone that uses it as a chatbot (not night and day by any means), how does that stack up to $20/month (roughly)?

Connecting via the API is often cheaper as you are paying per-use. If you don't use $20 worth of service, then there's no need to be paying $20 per month. For desktop users, LibreChat is good and open source. Can connect to numerous APIs. Installation is slightly technical but clearly described. https://github.com/danny-avila/LibreChat

March 21, 2025I made a native iOS app to use Claude 3 Opus and Sonnet for free using your own API Key
I don’t quite understand Anthropic pricing for their API. Maybe you could explain it a little better? Seems like Claude 3 is 1/10th the cost of OpenAi gpt-4 turbo? Is that really right? More on reddit.com

January 2, 2024I think I am converted... Claude 3 Opus API Smashing Out the Code
Yes, I've got like 4 days left on my Gpt-4 subscription before I cancel it and move to Claude, I've been using the API with the free credits and it's great, I really thought Anthropic wouldn't have a chance after Claude 2, but I've been converted, even sonnet and haiku are great. Although I'll probably come back when Gpt-5 is released, if it is ever released. More on reddit.com
