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

Lattice

  • A $4,000 minimum annual agreement applies, so the per seat prices only describe the cost above that floor
  • Billing is annual only
  • The platform is sold as three separate base products at $10, $8 and $4 per seat per month, so a full deployment stacks rather than being one price
  • Compensation and Grow are further add ons at $6 and $4 per seat per month on top
