OpenAI ships Astra to $20 Plus users while Anthropic keeps Fable Max-only
VoidStateKate · x · 2026-09-06
A side-by-side of subscription realities: OpenAI shipped Astra to $20 Plus users this week, while Anthropic's Fable — promised on July 7 to return 'as a standard part of our subscriptions as soon as capacity allows' — remains limited to Max and Team Premium as of July 20, with a help page stating Fable "isn't included in your plan's usage limits."
The author asks whether the capacity story still holds, or whether Pro has quietly become the metered tier — and says if it's the latter, just say so.
