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

HubSpot

  • Free tier limited to 2 users and 1,000 contacts; severely restricts growing teams
  • Many advanced features (automation workflows, custom objects, advanced reporting) gated to paid tiers
  • Starter plan at $7/month per seat scales quickly for larger teams (300+ users would cost significantly more)
  • Free tier removes credit card requirement but lacks most enterprise capabilities
