🚨API IS CHEAPER THAN SUBSCRIPTION. I ONE-SHOT A PLAYABLE MARIO CLONE WITH ONLY $2 OF API CREDITS. Yesterday I posted that Claude MAX 20x gave me less than 4 hours of actual Fable 5.1 usage before I was already at ~77% of my weekly limit. I was genuinely asking how “45% cheaper” mattered if I could barely use the model. @MixRoute_ai saw the post and reached out to let me stress-test their API for a full day. So I thought why dont we make a comparision between both of them Claude Code session: $10.25 cache hit 97% @MixRoute_ai API usage: $2.00 Claude Code: ~25 min → $10.25 MixRoute: ~32 min → $2.00 ~6 minutes slower. ~80% cheaper. Both built a playable Mario clone. Full run sped up ~60x ↓
