I use Pi with Aliyun, which cost a flat ¥40 (~€5) per month for GLM-5, Kimi K2.5, Minmax and a few other models.

Honestly, these models seem quite on par with Claude. Some days they seem slightly worse, some days I can't tell the difference.

AFAIK, the usage quota is comparable to the Claude $200 subscription.

Note as of yesterday, they retired the lite coding plan you're talking about. New buy-in is $50/month for the pro plan unless you were already on the lite plan.

Website says ¥200, which is €25, around USD28.

That's a pretty big leap (5x), but still substantially cheaper than the average American hosting.
