r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: $330 in expiring Claude credits. Why do people use Claude api anymore?
March 29, 2025 -
I have $330 Claude credits expiring in 1 week.
What have you guys found to be the best use of the API? I find day to day, gemini api accomplishes most of what I need for a much lower cost so I can't think of a good use for these remaining credits.
How would you use these credits? When is Claude worth the price increase?
For reference
Gemini 2.0 Flash -> Input $0.10 / 1M tokens, Output $0.40 / 1M tokens
Gemini 1.5 Pro -> Input $1.25 / 1M tokens, Output $5.00 / 1M tokens
Claude 3.7 Sonnet -> Input $3 / 1M tokens, Output $15 / 1M tokens
I use cursor for coding, OpenAI subscription for deep research.
What do I need Claude for anymore... It's 2-3x the price.
Is there a cool open source project I should try out that requires a smarter model? Is there an app idea/workflow that requires using a smarter model that I can add to my workflow in the next week?
Is there a way to sell these credits?
