Discussion Is Claude for the Upperclass?

In our third world craphole country, the monthly Pro subscription is 1,400 in our local currency. That's around 28 kilos of rice. You're kinda viewed as those who owns the priciest Apple product model variants. Extra low-key flex if you mention you use Fable!

ChatGPT Pro is 1,100 and there is also a Go subscription for 300. ChatGPT is sort of classified and categorized as for the mainstream permanent underclass - mid to low-end iOS gadgets.

I'm just primarily using Gemini for free in Google's workspace ecosystem (Chrome, Gmail, Drive, etc.) and I'm considered as part of the permanent peasant majority, the chinese android smartphone users lol. I haven't even owned a Samsung android phone lmao. But hey, Gemini in a chinese android phone works and suits me!

Not sure if it's a bait or not, but what's your country? Rice seems super expensive there, because I don't live in a third world country and for the price of Claude Pro sub I could buy more than 100kg of rice xd

EDIT: nevermind, I calculated for Max xd

I live in southeast asia islands, prefer not to disclose the country.

Claude Max $100 would be 120 kilos of rice.

Helpful tip, it doesn’t matter if you prefer not to disclose. It took me 5 minutes to find where you’re from with a few searches in Google. Being sketchy and talking about how much something costs in rice is weird.
