When it makes sense. Keep Claude, or challenge it?

Keep if

You're building autonomous AI agents or production apps.
You need high reliability and long context windows.

Claude becomes worthwhile when

You use it at least once a week
The monthly cost ($20) is small next to the time it saves you

Challenge if

You just want to chat with an AI (use claude.com/chat).
You need free API access.

Claude becomes too expensive when

You use it less than once a month
chatgpt (free) already covers the essentials for occasional use
