Claude's free tier just got 4 Pro features - is the $20 subscription still worth it?

This article explains that Anthropic has expanded Claude’s free plan with file creation (documents, spreadsheets, presentations), app connectors (Google Drive, Gmail, GitHub, Slack, etc.), custom skills for persistent preferences, and longer conversation compaction. The author notes these additions may reduce the need for a paid subscription, though paid plans still offer higher quotas, full model access, and early features.
