Burned $100 in a day plugging Claude API into Twenty CRM
A user reported spending $100 in a single day by integrating the Claude API with the open-source Twenty CRM for automated research and outreach. The high cost was attributed to Twenty's inefficient workflow, which made excessive API calls for minimal output. The user subsequently uninstalled the CRM and developed a custom CLI agent, which proved to be more cost-effective and manageable for their specific needs. AI
