SemiAnalysis: on the same $200/month plan, Claude Opus 5.5 usage value is over 5x that of GPT-6.1 Sol (report)
Announced October 6, 2026
What happened
According to AI Times, SemiAnalysis on the 6th (local time) published its own measurements of the actual usage limits of major AI subscription services. It found that on the $200/month plan, the amount of Claude Opus 5.5 usage available, converted to API prices, was worth more than five times that of OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol. The result is based on measuring how much can actually be used within subscription limits, not on comparing published price sheets.
Provider claims
SemiAnalysis argued that, contrary to the view that Claude is expensive, it offers higher real usage value on a subscription basis.
Why it matters
For heavy users and developers choosing a subscription plan, it shows that actual usage limits matter more than the listed price. The multiple may vary depending on the measurement method and the type of task.
