I just priced out 9 competitor landing pages built with Claude Design vs a human designer.
The numbers surprised me.
Why 9 landings?
Competitor comparison pages are one of the highest-leverage plays in B2B SaaS marketing.
Someone googles "[competitor] alternatives" - and lands on a page built specifically for that comparison.
Tailored pages convert 2-4× better than a generic one. Serious teams run dozens.
Not visuals for visuals. Sales infrastructure.
Claude Design (Opus 4.7):
3–8M tokens
$50–150 via API
1-2 days end to end
Mid-level designer ($15/h) + Webflow:
15 hours design + 3-4 hours Webflow
~$270-290
2-3 days
Gap is 2×, not 10×. Timelines are close. Output is essentially the same - a working landing page you can send paid traffic to.
The real question isn't "which is cheaper."
It's which fits your workflow.
Claude Design wins when you want to test positioning fast, or when a marketer needs to edit without a designer in the loop.
Designer + Webflow wins when non-technical people will maintain the site, or when you already have a designer on payroll.
The shift isn't "AI replaced designers."
The shift is that a real second option exists where there wasn't one before.
A solo marketer can now ship what used to need a 2-3 week contractor engagement.
How do you handle competitor queries - one generic page, or a dedicated landing per competitor?
