But I was making an argument about the $10 plans, not the $100 plans.

Claude doesn't even go that low. Except the free plan which has a very reduced feature list.

Claude's $20 and $100 are pretty similar except tokens, that part is true. So they're a bit higher priced and more of the "it's just tokens" model. But the market as a whole is mostly selling a limited feature set down at lower price points. On average, getting up to the point where you have full access and are paying per-token is itself a premium jump.
