Where Anthropic's own pages disagree

We found these while checking. Until the pages agree, assume the less generous version.

  • ClaudeTeam plan context window: the Team help article says 200K tokens, while the pricing table says up to 1M depending on the model. Pages: support.claude.com, claude.com
  • ClaudePriority access at busy times: the Pro help article lists it as a Pro benefit, while the pricing table gives it to Max only. Pages: support.claude.com, claude.com

How we check

Every price and feature comes from the company's own pricing page, help center or release notes, never from other sites. A routine re-reads those pages every day; when something changes we update the plan, date it and add it to the list above. Prices are US list prices in US dollars, before tax, on monthly billing unless a yearly price is shown.

Nobody pays to be on this page. See every company side by side on our AI chatbot pricing comparison.

Which Claude plan should you get?

  • Free covers everyday questions with the Sonnet and Haiku models, memory, up to 5 projects and one connected app.
  • Pro ($20 a month, or $17 billed yearly) gives you at least five times Free’s usage per five-hour session, plus Claude Code, Research, scheduled tasks, Claude in Chrome and the Opus model.
  • Max ($100 or $200 a month, monthly billing only) gives five or twenty times Pro’s usage per session, priority access at busy times, $100 or $200 a month in API credits, and Fable models included for up to half of your weekly limit.
  • Team ($25 a seat a month, or $20 billed yearly) is for 2 to 150 people, with central billing, single sign-on and no training on your content by default. Premium seats cost $125 ($100 yearly) for five times the usage.

How Claude’s usage limits work

Anthropic says every plan has usage limits that reset on a rolling five-hour session window, and paid plans add weekly limits on top. If you hit Pro’s limit often, you can turn on usage credits to keep going, or move to Max. Our Claude Pro vs Max guide walks through that decision.

Claude Team pricing

A Team plan needs at least two seats and supports up to 150. Standard seats are $25 a month each ($20 billed yearly) and include 1.25 times Pro’s usage per session. Premium seats are $125 ($100 billed yearly) and include 6.25 times Pro’s usage. You can mix seat types, and the team gets pooled API credits of up to $500 a month.
