Discounts from Anthropic reportedly run around 15% off list. CodeRabbit shifted its primary AI spend from Anthropic to OpenAI six months ago, and both vendors are reportedly adding 'share of wallet' clauses requiring large customers to concentrate spend on one platform. More than 100 companies spent over $10m annually with Anthropic in the year to June, with Meta and Cursor among its major customers. Both companies have also recently cut list prices. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What happens when my company exceeds its contracted token volume with Anthropic's API? Discounts end once contracted token volume is used up, and customers must renegotiate a new contract or pay standard list-price rates. Enterprise discounts from Anthropic are reported at around 15% off list price, and unlike OpenAI, there is no grace period after hitting the limit. _Compare vendor contract terms like this before committing enterprise AI spend, tracked on daily.dev._ ### How does OpenAI handle enterprise customers who exceed their API usage commitments compared to Anthropic? OpenAI gives customers the rest of the current month plus one additional month to negotiate a new contract before list prices kick in, a more lenient policy than Anthropic, which cuts discounts immediately once contracted tokens run out. Both companies have also begun adding 'share of wallet' clauses requiring large customers to concentrate spend on one platform. _Teams weighing AI vendor lock-in terms can follow these enterprise pricing shifts on daily.dev._ ### Why did CodeRabbit switch its primary AI provider from Anthropic to OpenAI? CodeRabbit CEO Harjot Gill said OpenAI became the company's main AI supplier, a change from six months earlier when Anthropic held that role. The three-year-old company spends tens of millions of dollars annually on AI, and the switch reflects broader enterprise customers reassessing vendor terms amid differing discount and renewal policies. _Developers tracking real-world AI vendor switches can follow cases like CodeRabbit's on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [I think Anthropic and OpenAI have found product-market fit](https://daily.dev/posts/i-think-anthropic-and-openai-have-found-product-market-fit-azovmehbd) · Simon Willison · 4 upvotes · 1 comments - [Anthropic now has more business customers than OpenAI, according to Ramp data](https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-now-has-more-business-customers-than-openai-according-to-ramp-data-szoryezld) · TechCrunch · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [Anthropic's Claude claws its way towards the top of AI chart](https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-s-claude-claws-its-way-towards-the-top-of-ai-chart-svjjcpdyu) · The Register · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#openai](https://daily.dev/tags/openai), [#anthropic](https://daily.dev/tags/anthropic) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-ends-discounts-once-tokens-run-out-the-information-reports-jtubor5wg) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Anthropic ends discounts once tokens run out, The Information reports","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-ends-discounts-once-tokens-run-out-the-information-reports-jtubor5wg","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-ends-discounts-once-tokens-run-out-the-information-reports-jtubor5wg"},"datePublished":"2026-09-28T19:13:57.657Z","dateModified":"2026-10-01T18:55:31.430Z","description":"Anthropic cuts off enterprise discounts once customers exhaust their contracted token volume, forcing renegotiation at standard rates, while OpenAI gives...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/40db4bf370f420d82ce4e3a346398725?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/40db4bf370f420d82ce4e3a346398725?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Next Web","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Next Web","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/tnw","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-ends-discounts-once-tokens-run-out-the-information-reports-jtubor5wg","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"openai,anthropic","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Next Web","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Anthropic ends discounts once tokens run out, The Information reports"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/anthropic-ends-discounts-once-tokens-run-out-the-information-reports-jtubor5wg#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What happens when my company exceeds its contracted token volume with Anthropic's API?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Discounts end once contracted token volume is used up, and customers must renegotiate a new contract or pay standard list-price rates.
