Anthropic is showing a tough bargaining attitude for corporate customers: once the customer has used up the amount of tokens purchased within the contract, the discount immediately expires. This strategy gave OpenAI an opportunity to adopt a more flexible pricing plan. Executives from three software companies that purchase products from two AI service providers at the same time said that although Anthropic and its main competitor, OpenAI, will give discounts to large customers who promise to spend one million dollars every year, Anthropic has adopted a special approach: once the customer reaches the usage limit agreed in the contract, the discount is directly terminated. According to these sources, customers who have reached the limit of the quota must renegotiate the new contract, otherwise higher standard pricing will be implemented. “As soon as you reach your credit limit, the Anthropic sales team will call and email you: 'We've noticed you've used up your credit. If you finalize a new agreement today, you can avoid overcharges. '” One of the sources said, “Otherwise, the excess amount will be billed at the original price.” A software licensing consultant familiar with the customers of the two service providers said that in terms of corporate customer policies, OpenAI's scale is more relaxed than Anthropic. A person close to OpenAI said that if the customer runs out of the promised spending amount under the discount agreement, OpenAI will give the customer an additional one-month window for the rest of the month for the customer to negotiate a new contract; only after the window period ends will the official website pricing be resumed.
