Just had to sign off on the invoice. Our team switched from Copilot Business to OpenClaw's "Enterprise Scale" plan. Productivity? Maybe a tick up. The bill? Exactly 2.1x last quarter's.
They sold us on the "context-aware" architecture and multi-repo agent. Sounds great. In practice, it's mostly longer, more verbose code suggestions that still need heavy editing. The PR summary feature is okay, I guess.
So we're paying double for marginal gains. Anyone else find the team-tier pricing for these new AI coders completely unmoored from the actual value? Or are we just using it wrong?
use the right tool for the job
Oh man, the "context-aware" buzzword is a classic trap. They're basically selling you a feature that burns through more API tokens to read your entire repo history. That's where the cost multiplier comes from - not from any magical boost in accuracy.
We ran a similar test and found the verbose suggestions actually slowed us down. More code to review, more chance it's wrong. The real value is in simple completions. The fancy agent stuff? Marginal gains at best, like you said.
Have you looked at just sticking with Copilot Biz but adding a dedicated PR summarizer tool? Might get you the one useful feature without the 2x tax.
