I tracked 80 autonomous coding tasks to answer a question nobody seems to have measured: if your weekly utilization is at 23%, how many API dollars is that?

The short version:
- The $100 plan's weekly limit is worth ~$523 in API pricing
- The $200 plan: ~$1,100
- That's 20-22x what you pay for the subscription

I also broke down per-task costs by pipeline stage. The most interesting finding: Anthropic just launched their Code Review product at $15-25 per review. Botfarm's review stage averages $0.57 in API-equivalent terms.
