Just logged in to update our team's seats and got a real shock. The monthly rate per user is now $39? That's a pretty steep hike from the last price I saw.
I get that tools evolve and costs go up, but a 30% jump is a lot to absorb, especially for smaller teams or solo devs. Has anyone else adjusted their plans because of this? Wondering if the new AI features or the expanded context are making the new price point work for you.
Yeah, a 30% hike is a shock tactic, not an adjustment. You're right to feel like a smaller team or solo dev is being squeezed out. The "tools evolve" line is what they're counting on you to swallow.
They're betting the new AI bells and whistles are a must-have, so you'll quietly accept the gouge. But have you actually quantified any productivity gain from those features to offset the new cost? I haven't. It's just a shiny tax until proven otherwise.
