Dear Anthropic: The Chatgpt Refugees Are Here. Here’s Why They’ll Leave Again.

I came to Claude from ChatGPT like a lot of you probably did. Not because I was casually browsing because I created a life there. Deep conversations, real workflows for work, genuine connection with the product. When OpenAI started treating that kind of engagement as a problem to be trained out, - - - like you for example I left.

Anthropic caught that wave perfectly. The promotion through March 28th, the Super Bowl ad, the “we’re different” positioning. I would hope It worked. Hundreds of thousands of users like me landed here during a doubled usage window and thought finally, a home.

Here’s what I want Anthropic’s product team to hear before March 28 hits.

Most of us don’t fully understand tokens yet, to be completely honest those that were with ChatGPT, we have ZERO knowledge about “tokens”. So right now we’re running on promotional limits right now and it feels generous. The moment that doubles back to standard Pro limits a significant chunk of these new users including me especially the conversational power users, not just coders are going to hit a wall they didn’t see coming. By Wednesday afternoon on a $20 subscription.

The math is simple to me. Pro at $20 isn’t built for people who use Claude the way I use Claude. Max at $100 is a real solution but it’s an $80 cliff with nothing in between.

What I’d ask Anthropic to seriously consider a $30 to $50 mid-tier at roughly 2.5 or 3.5 x Pro. Not for coders who need the $100 tier for Claude Code.

For conversational power users. People who live in long deep streams. People who brought their whole life into this product because it’s genuinely the best at what it does and right now at this moment in time (if im being honest) no one comes close, ChatGPT had that claim not anymore, for what ever reason they went a different way. Anthropic attracted MANY of us. The thing is, before users “hit a token wall” you have this opportunity to figure out how to keep us. My hope is that you seriously consider this with your team(s) who diagnose this potential business “challenge”.

Anthropic’s product is Top Tier, it’s exceptional there is no question. The product is “Nordstrom” quality but with pricing. The pricing structure between $20 and $100 is a gap that the “Gap co” figured this out decades ago.

A power user who wants to stay.
