Claude Opus 4.5, and why evaluating new LLMs is increasingly difficult
November 24, 2025 - The pricing is a big relief: $5/million for input and $25/million for output. This is a lot cheaper than the previous Opus at $15/$75 and keeps it a little more competitive with the GPT-5.1 family ($1.25/$10) and Gemini 3 Pro ($2/$12, or $4/$18 ...

Claude 4.5 Opus vs. Gemini 3 Pro vs. GPT-5-codex-max: The SOTA coding model - Composio
Opus 4.5(Claude): Outstanding at strategy and design, but its solutions tend to be elaborate, slower to integrate, and prone to practical hiccups once they hit the metal. GPT-5.1 Codex: The most dependable for real-world development, integrates cleanly, handles edge cases, and produces code that holds up under load. Gemini 3 Pro: Lean, fast, and cost-efficient, strong for prototyping and greenfield builds, though its outputs need some hardening for production-grade resilience.

Claude Opus 4.5 Pricing Explained: Is It the Best $5 AI Model of 2025?
Multiply your expected input token volume by $5/MTok. Multiply your expected output token volume by $25/MTok. Add tool-use overhead tokens (e.g., system prompt tokens or tool JSON overhead) to estimate a realistic total. Combine the above values to project your per-request or monthly cost. Average coding request: ~3,000–5,000 total tokens...

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
