On the SMB side, you can find yourself with enough money for a Claude subscription (which generally provides a really good $/token value) but limited other options (compliance paperwork, cost, finance, legal)

Personally I wouldn't bother with Anthropic at home but at work it's one of the most cost-effective options that keeps data in the U.S. (which our U.S. customers tend to want)
