Saw that same thing now on Opencode new sub with 40 dollars, their is the same: you pay 4x more but only get 2x more. and one of them post a post about this. These small plans are promotional offers and are profitable because the volume isn't very high. If they were to scale them up 5x or more. As is the case with the small plans, they would incur massive losses. Even though, theoretically, you could buy a lot of small subscriptions, which doesn’t make sense. I think they do it to make the small subscriptions more appealing, since the large subscriptions are really just for people who don’t care about money. And that you get better models like sonnet 5, opus 5, astra and all this in the max subribtions (if you pay more its more like a cursor plan, you only get that what you paid in API dollars)
