Why choose Claude via unoblox

Rupee billing, no international payment barriers. Anthropic's web interface presents friction for teams without international payment methods. unoblox adds a ₹ invoice layer:

• Transparent usage history in Indian rupees.
• GST line-item, claimable as input credit.
• No payment barriers; budget stability.
• Pay by UPI, netbanking or card through Razorpay; a GST tax invoice is issued for each top-up.

100% API compatibility. Every tool, streaming mode, and vision feature from Anthropic works unchanged. Point your OpenAI SDK or Claude SDK at https://api.unoblox.ai/v1 with an ub-gw-… key.

Claude Opus vs Sonnet: when to use each

Opus (₹506.14 input) powers document analysis, research synthesis, legal review — anything where output quality >> speed.

Sonnet (₹202.46 input) handles chatbots, code review, customer support — where sub-second latency + cost efficiency matter. It's 2.5× cheaper per token than Opus, and close enough on reasoning for most real-world tasks that the savings are hard to argue with.

Assuming a typical 2:1 input:output mix, a RAG chatbot doing 10M tokens/month costs ~₹4,724/month on Sonnet 5 versus ~₹11,810/month on Opus. Sonnet wins for most production SaaS unless the task specifically needs Opus's extra reasoning depth.

Migration

Switch in 2 lines of code:
