Kimi subs deliver only 2-3x API value vs Claude's 55x — and Moonshot pays undisclosed influencers
RexDouglass · x · 2026-10-24
A value-for-money breakdown claims Kimi subscriptions offer only 2-3x API-equivalent value: the $200 Kimi Ultra plan yields roughly $600 in value via Kimi K3.1 Pro, while a $200 Claude Max plan delivers about $11,000 (55x) via Opus 5.5.
The author also alleges Moonshot AI pays influencers to post templates without disclosing paid partnerships — arguing no company is as 'scammy' as Moonshot. (Unverified allegations from the poster.)
