Summary

MiniMax's price increases and model limitations are driving users away to competitors like DeepSeek and premium options like Claude or ChatGPT, reversing its earlier reputation as a cheap, usable daily driver.

People flocked ti MiniMax bevause it's the cheapest usable model on the market. It's a good daily driver. Not the smartest, amd it doesn't have to be. Now that good enough cheap model is deepseek, and Minimax tries to compete with the premium models. It used to be $10 a month with seemingly unlimited quota. Now it's at leat $20 a month and the M3 is burning though 5 hour quota with some simple coding. It's a joke. Just subscribe to Claude or Chatgpt. I used to recommend MiniMax to people who are start building with openclaw or hermes. Not anymore. Just use deepseek!
