Anthropic API pricing
Anthropic bills per million tokens with a steep gap between tiers. Here's current pricing for each Claude tier, and what the same workload typically costs when LemonSugar Ai routes to the cheapest capable model.
| Direct Anthropic | Via LemonSugar Ai routing | |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Opus 4.7 (in / out) | $15.00 / $75.00 per 1M | Used only when needed |
| Claude Sonnet 4.6 | $3.00 / $15.00 per 1M | Default for coding |
| Claude Haiku 4.5 | $0.25 / $1.25 per 1M | Routed for short replies |
| Typical monthly bill (light team use) | $100–250 | $20–60 |
| Savings dashboard | No | Yes — every prompt logged |
The verdict
Anthropic's pricing rewards tier discipline — if every prompt goes to Opus you'll overpay 10–60x. LemonSugar Ai's router enforces that discipline automatically.
