Claude plans and prices: Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise compared

Reading the prices

The prices above are Anthropic's US list prices, read from its plans page and help center on the date shown below, and they carry the qualifiers Anthropic attaches: they exclude tax, pricing and currency vary by region, and Max prices apply to web subscriptions. Two structural details matter more than any single figure. Max is sold monthly only, at the usage sizes in the table. Team is priced per seat, with a premium seat costing a multiple of a standard one for a multiple of its usage — and the two seat types can be mixed in one organisation. Seat-based Enterprise and Education publish no price.

Reading the usage column

Anthropic describes plan usage in relative terms — one plan offers a multiple of another's usage per session, with a weekly allowance on top — and does not publish either as a token count. That is why the usage column compares plans to each other rather than converting them into tokens: any conversion would be a guess dressed up as a figure. Price divided by relative usage is still a useful comparison between plans; it just can't be turned into a cost per token.

Where a plan meets the API

The part of the lineup that matters most to a developer is where flat pricing stops. Pro and Max subscribers, and Team and seat-based Enterprise plans, can buy usage credits that take over once the plan's own usage runs out, and those credits bill at standard API rates. Usage-based Enterprise goes further: every token is billed at API rates on top of a seat price. In both cases the prices on the all-models pricing table are the prices you pay, and this site's calculators apply directly.

Fable access is the sharpest difference between seats

On Max, and on premium seats, the Fable models count against the plan's own limits, up to the cap in the table above. On Pro and on standard Team seats they sit outside the plan entirely: usage credits are the only way in. A team choosing between standard and premium seats for people who need the top tier is really choosing whether that usage is flat-rate or metered — see using Fable on a Pro plan to price the metered version.

What changed recently

Anthropic recently raised the session limits on Pro, Max, Team and seat-based Enterprise and gave subscribers a rate-limit reset they can save for later; Cowork became available from any conversation, with design, deck and document creation across the plans. The change log keeps the dated record.

Before you pick one

A list price answers "what does the plan cost?", not "is it cheaper than the API for me?" Put your own usage through the subscription vs API cost calculator — its price box starts empty, and every list price above is one tap away.
