Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Anthropic API

  • AWS Marketplace lists Claude Opus 4.8 (Amazon Bedrock Edition), published by seller Anthropic, at $5.00 per million input tokens and $25.00 per million output tokens for standard usage, or $2.50 and $12.50 per million tokens respectively for batch processing
  • AWS Marketplace's Anthropic listing shows cache write tokens billed separately at $6.25 per million tokens for the standard 5-minute cache, rising to $10.00 per million tokens for a 1-hour cache TTL

Hive

  • The free plan is capped at 200 MB of storage
  • The Starter plan at $5 per user per month is limited to 10 projects
  • Eight capabilities are sold as $5 per user add ons on the Teams plan, including CRM, timesheets, proofing, resourcing, advanced dashboards, external users and SSO
  • Buying SSO plus a few of those add ons therefore costs more than the $12 base seat itself
  • AI credits are metered monthly at 1,000, 3,000 and 5,000 by plan
