We started Emdash with two beliefs, (1) provider-agnosticism wins, (2) pure CLI gives flexibility.
Many, outside the labs, have followed suit and are converging on our beliefs.
The more pricing and packaging changes across the labs, the more important these beliefs become.
Todays pricing update doesn't affect Emdash users, because they use Claude through the CLI with full functionality.
But if it would, our users could switch to whatever pasture is greenest then, without upheaving their workflows.
Starting June 15, paid Claude plans can claim a dedicated monthly credit for programmatic usage.
The credit covers usage of:
- Claude Agent SDK
- claude -p
- Claude Code GitHub Actions
- Third-party apps built on the Agent SDK
