Reviewer scorecard
“The Workbench is the best prompt engineering environment available. Test prompts, compare models, and see token counts in real-time. Essential for any Claude API project.”
“The API design is a masterclass. Documentation is the best in the industry. If you're building anything that takes payments, Stripe is the default choice and for good reason.”
“Clean, functional, does what it needs to. The evaluation tools are underrated — most developers ship prompts without testing. This makes testing easy.”
“Pricing is higher than competitors but the reliability and feature set justify it. The AI fraud detection alone pays for the premium. You can't put a price on not dealing with chargebacks.”
“Anthropic is building the developer platform, not just the model. Console + Claude Code + Agent SDK — they want developers building on Claude, not just chatting with it.”
“Stripe is quietly becoming the financial infrastructure for the internet. Atlas, Treasury, Issuing — they're building the operating system for internet businesses.”
