What's everyone paying for AI plans?

32:09that you want to produce media shows from. Thanks. All right, let's move to the next question, Courtney. Next one comes in from Jerry Hoyle in Wesley Chapel, North Carolina. What's everyone paying for AI plans? Yes, I stole this question from Guy. guy yeah so this one didn't get answered yesterday i was just curious because i was better to give up grok bots but then uh craig showed some cool stuff with mcp yesterday and

32:41the ai water cooler and it's got me scratching my head because i used to have a payroll of about eighty thousand dollars a month so i'm used to paying people some pretty big money because they deserved it they and then i look at what these bots could do and i'm like you deserve it too but i don't have the flow coming in that i used to for running an online store for 18 years but

32:57I'll show you my actual figures. So here's what I'm up against. Super Grok Plus is $100 a month. So I'm about ready to figure out if it says you'll keep your access until September 22. Just in the last 24 hours, I've been beating on them pretty good. And I'm pretty confident I'm going to keep that one. My expensive one is Claude. You can see here, I just dropped $158 on September 9. Usually,

33:19I'm running about $100 a month. There's been some back in March where I was at $200. I did upgrade. So this was, what do they call that when you do a partial billing? This is the max plan. So I shifted mid month because I was working on that MXL project. Oh, wait, I probably shouldn't show that cut. Okay. Yeah. Just wanted to make sure when I showed that, that it didn't show my

33:41address, but here is the next one, which is ChatGPT, 21 bucks a month. I did have to buy some um api credits so that one's eight dollar 75 you could see back in was that july i paid 105 bucks so there's my actuals i mean uh there there is some non-profit stuff that we could do i just didn't want to get into it because uh it's kind of complicated but through that tech soup and

34:05good stack we've been approved uh to get 50 off so for chat gpt it would be like uh ten dollars a month. They don't let you go to the $100 a month plan, unfortunately. But we could do something. I just figured the accounting of it all would probably cost us more than the $10 savings, because we'd have to be like, hey, Bob, you didn't pay last month. We're going to have to

34:30take out your office hours, ChatGPT account. But I would love to be able to have the organization help out in some ways. Because we do have some discounts on the Claude side, too. But it just take somebody to manhandle it and i'm just not prepared to deal with all the the rigmaram of it all so i'm just putting it all on my personal and not opening it up yet and john yeah so um

34:56i have a chat gbt 100 and the um cloud 100 i mean i have whatever the super x account one is so i get some grok access from that um i'm heavily considering switching to cursor we're using cursor at the office and uh it really is a really great uh way to kind of get access to most of the models uh you kind of miss access for you know a couple weeks while a new

35:24model gets released um and they build out an api and and capacity to be able to share that across but uh um i'm really impressed with cursor uh if you haven't checked it out definitely the the grok 4 6 models that they have out there are really powerful and you can get access to grok bot as well so um i can put you in contact guys sir yeah what's the relationship between so is

35:47cursor run by x yeah cursor was uh stood up as like a um ide that was ai first um so it had a bunch of ways to integrate all the different ais directly into uh the ide experience uh recently it was purchased by spacex or xai whatever uh all the different brands that elon keeps changing the the names of. So they recently took it over and moved it into more

36:15of a like a chat experience and then a terminal. So there's still an ID that you can access if you want to. But most people, especially vibe coders are just kind of living in that CLI world or just directly into that, that chat experience that they have. So honestly, really, really powerful. And you get access to, you can, you know, all the cloud models the chat gpt models codex models um even like some of the chinese models
