Was it worth it? Honestly? Can you evaluate the quality of the work it did? $30/hr is cheap for that kind of coding if it's of high quality. There's that old adage that a good programmer writes about 1 line of code per hour once you incorporate in all the testing and costs of bugs and errors and rewrites... Are these 3000 lines "good lines?" If median software engineer salary is around $100k, then that's about $50/hr. And that doesn't count the overhead associated with an employee.

r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Claude Opus 4 just cost me $7.60 for ONE task on Windsurf
May 23, 2025 -
Yesterday Anthropic dropped Claude Opus 4. As a Claude fanboy, I was pumped.
Windsurf immediately added support. Perfect timing.
So, I asked it to build a complex feature. Result: Absolutely perfect. One shot. No back-and-forth. No debugging.
Then I checked my usage: $7.31 for one task. One feature request.
The math just hit me: Windsurf makes you use your own API key (BYOK). Smart move on their part. • They charge: $15/month for the tool • I paid: $7.31 per Opus 4 task directly to Anthropic • Total cost: $15 + whatever I burn through
If I do 10 tasks a day, that’s $76 daily. Plus the $15 monthly fee.
$2300/month just to use Windsurf with Opus 4.
No wonder they switched to BYOK. They’d be bankrupt otherwise.
The quality is undeniable. But price per task adds up fast.
Either AI pricing drops. Or coding with top-tier AI becomes can be a luxury only big companies can afford.
Are you cool with $2000+/month dev tool costs? Or is this the end of affordable AI coding assistance?

well a few things to note, is that Opus is a lot more expensive than Sonnet, which is about like x3 x5 times more expensive, and on top of that you are using a 3rd party software and plug into the API keys, using these softwares are never meant to be cost effective, this has already been the case for Roo Code, Cline etc, so you shouldn't expect Windsurf to control your budget effectively If you want the most cost efficient method, you have to Subscribe to the Max plan (100$ min) and then use Claude Code from there
