As a developer I'm using Claude web daily and when limits are reached I continue with the API until I can continue again with the web version. This way I always have an AI coding assistant available for my daily work. More on reddit.com

Sounds about right, $1-5 per task. Sometimes I had paid $30 for a dead end, completely broken feature. Still cheaper than a real developer. Claude API used to cost me $50 a day until I signed up for the MAX plan. You are right to assume most of these startups are losing money. Anthropic lost about $5 billion last year, roughly. All the fixed price plans are loss leaders! More on reddit.com

Why do I need a partner like MetaCTO to use these APIs?
Using the API for a prototype is easy. Building a scalable, secure, and reliable product is an entirely different engineering challenge. A partner like MetaCTO implements the critical infrastructure for security (API key rotation), reliability (rate limit handling), and cost management, which are essential for a successful real-world application.
