Observed spend
What developers actually spend on claude-opus-4-1 — measured from real sessions, not list prices. For specs and pricing tables, look elsewhere; this page only answers what the model costs the people using it.
Broad adoption and low spend per developer — reached for constantly, and cheap enough that it barely registers on the bill.
For scale, spend per developer across tracked models runs from claude-haiku-4-5 at $52 to gpt-5.6-sol at $12,516 — a spread list pricing alone never reveals, because it depends entirely on what people reach for the model to do.
| Model | Per developer | Share |
|---|---|---|
| claude-opus-4-1 | $140 | 0.3% |
| gpt-5.6-sol | $12,516 | 22% |
| claude-opus-4-8 | $5,115 | 17% |
| claude-fable-5 | $5,479 | 17% |
| claude-opus-5 | $8,121 | 14% |
| gpt-5.5 | $5,201 | 13% |
| claude-opus-4-6 | $1,797 | 6% |
| claude-opus-4-7 | $1,756 | 4% |
| claude-sonnet-5 | $627 | 1% |
Developers run npx viberank-cli, which reads token counts and API-equivalent costs that ccusage computes from their own local session logs. Spend here is what the usage would cost at model list prices — most people on the board pay a flat subscription instead, so this measures consumption rather than a bill.
