Claude API credit pricing is unclear for real usage
shows the $100 bundle as the “best value,” but it is not clear what amount of real usage the buyer receives. The main question is whether the credit bundles scale in a simple straight line.
For example, $20 might give exactly four times as much usage as $5, or larger bundles might include some extra value. This is about for using the API in , not Claude Code or CoWork.
