What you'll learn
See the real cost of a live session
Watch Claude Code work a real task with the token meter on, so you see what a working day costs.
Price the work against a human
Compare token cost with the human cost of the same task, before and after, in dollars.
Pick your rung: rent or own
Leave with a simple rule for when $20/month is enough and when to move to an API or your own hardware.
Why this topic matters
Most AI advice tells you what a tool can do and skips what it costs. In 30 minutes I run Claude Code on a real task live, with the token meter visible, and price it against what a person would charge for the same work. You'll leave knowing what a day of use costs, what it replaces, and when it makes sense to stop renting and start owning.
