We measured what our team's Claude Code usage would cost at API list prices and found it runs about 24x our per-seat price on average (up to 45x for the heaviest engineer). The post shares the numbers, the measurement method, and the script so readers can measure their own. Signed-off-by: Bassam Tabbara <bassam@upbound.io>

What and why
We measured what our team's Claude Code usage would cost at API list prices. It runs about 24x our per-seat price on average, and 45x for our heaviest engineer. This post shares the numbers, how we measured them (a small script that reads the local Claude Code session logs, only token counts, no prompts or code), and links the script so readers can measure their own subsidy multiple.
