29/month is offensively low

For smaller companies they can get Claude team plan for $20/month/seat and the plans give a lot of usage. We rarely hit limits. Codex plans used to have more usage and those were the go-to. Before that, GitHub Copilot CLI was the service with insane usage limits for $10-$20/month.

So it's about staying nimble enough so you can easily switch over. Don't tie yourself down to a single product/harness.

The Claude Team plan is subsidized, and pricing for them is significantly less than what enterprises pay with API pricing. For example, your $20/month plan would cost the equivalent of $400/month if they charged you using API pricing.

That's why those plans are only available to small companies with 150 employees or less.

$420 on the Enterprise plan, you pay 20 bucks just for the seat.

As far as I can tell, that's not the limit. A team plan may not have more than 150 members but the size of the company doesn't matter. I you have 150 people who need to use it inside an organization of 200, 500, 5,000, whatever, that's fine.

Accenture isn't a giant software company though. For the sort of things their employees do, that might be a reasonable average (think chat, PowerPoint, a bit of research).

Plenty of companies give 0

Yes, considering their CEO said that AI usage was a requirement for promotion earlier this year [0]. Companies are backpedaling now when the AI bills come out and bite them.
