Yeah I just mean that if a business came to them and asked for fifty licenses to the $200/mo plan, OpenAI would tell them to kick dirt and basically pay API pricing. Startups should 100% just be telling their employees they can expense up-to $whatever/mo in AI-related expenses, and let software engineers go buy personal Codex/Claude subscriptions.

Many large companies won't allow employees to expense such things personally. It is too easy to allow other fraud if that is allowed.

Though large companies will demand limits if API or whatever they can get is too expensive.
