Poll: How much do you personally spend for LLM subscriptions each month?

Just curious how much folks here spend for LLM subscriptions personally, i.e. not paid for by your employer if you have one or your own company, but purely for your own pleasure. Personally I have a Claude subscription for 200 USD / month and that's about as much as I'm willing to spend. Since programming is still my passion I think it's worthwhile as I can experiment and create a lot of stuff with little effort, but I might downsize that in the future. Also curious if your employer allows you to use some your allocated budget on personal projects, feel free to comment.

Yes, driving is my passion, which is why I've hired a private driver to do it for me.

should have broken out 0-40 to 0 and 1-49

Why just subscriptions?

I use OpenRouter because I prefer flexibility, which means I pay per-million-token prices.

Your survey design could use some work.
