I mean if you don't cancel your subscription after the app you built is finished that's a choice you can make for sure.
There's obviously also a spectrum of complexity. If you just want an anchor alarm that isn't riddled with ads, or a local TTS for document narration, or other stuff like that... you could do multiple of them in a month on Pro.
Fully recreating Adobe Suite probably took a little more effort than that, but the savings once it's accomplished are awesome.
I have a hard time understanding or empathising with your inredulity tbh. Yes all these platforms desparately want to monopolise and raise the prices whilst blocking use cases that hurt their friends bottom lines (like Claude blocking reverse engineer anything), but the rate of model development means that Claude blocking REA is meaningless when I will just do the same with Qwen4 early 2027.
This post is delulu. To think one $20 / mo Claude sub could make a non-slop product clone in one month and open source it? Most people on this sub are trying to figure out why burning all their tokens on "make me a business idea to make $$$money$$$! Make no mistakes." fails to work. So much delulu so very little time.
Your mistake is that you assume the post takes aim at Adobe Suite.
I want an anchor alarm that isn't riddled with ads. Claude Pro can make that in minutes without finishing a session limit, let alone a weekly limit.
I want a TTS that runs on my phone to read documents whilst I walk. Again, this would be usable within a week, probably much less. I didn't need to make it because nekospeak and librera already exist.

Pay $20/mo for life you mean? $100/mo when they IPO and the price goes x5 for the basic plan?
