I'm inclined to agree for that price. Is there something the 200/month subscription gets you that the API doesn't? I still don't know why creating an API key and loading it up with $200 every month is an unfavorable option. Do you expect it would cost more? You might even end up paying less, especially if you can find ways to make it more efficient given that you are using a bespoke harness. I still feel like I'm missing something. If the API costs a lot more for the same amount of usage, that would make sense to me, but that has never been my experience. But I don't have experience with the Anthropic API.
