Why every AI tool costs twenty dollars a month now

Short summary

The AI tool subscription market has quietly converged on a $20/month price point across major platforms including ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, Google AI Pro, and Cursor. This convergence reflects a completed price war—tools that previously ranged from $5–$50/month have clustered around this anchor price. For practitioners, pricing is no longer the deciding factor; workflow compatibility and platform ecosystem integration now drive tool selection.
