Claude Team is Anthropic's plan for a group of 2 to 150 people. A Standard seat costs $20 per month billed annually, or $25 billed monthly. A Premium seat costs $100 per month billed annually, or $125 monthly, and gives five times the usage of a Standard seat.

Last checked: November 10, 2026, against claude.com/pricing. Anthropic changes plans several times a year, so check there before you buy.

How much does Claude Team cost?

Seat Billed annually Billed monthly Usage
Standard $20 per seat per month $25 per seat per month More than a Pro plan
Premium $100 per seat per month $125 per seat per month 5x a Standard seat

You can mix the two. Most teams give Standard seats to everyone and Premium seats to the few people who live in Claude Code or Cowork all day. The team also gets up to $500 a month in pooled API credits for its own apps and agents.

For comparison, a single Pro plan is $20 a month ($17 a month paid yearly). Enterprise is $20 per seat per month billed annually with a 20-seat minimum, plus usage billed at API rates.

What's included in Claude Team?

  • Everything in Claude: chat on web, desktop and mobile, Artifacts, projects you can share with the team, research, memory, web search and voice mode
  • Claude Code and Cowork on every seat
  • Office and browser tools: Claude for Microsoft 365 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) and Claude in Chrome
  • Connectors and skills, including org-wide skills an admin deploys for everyone
  • Enterprise search across your connected tools
  • All the main models: Opus, Sonnet and Haiku, with context up to 1M tokens on some models. Premium seats also get Fable, at half the weekly limit.
  • Admin basics: single sign-on (SSO), domain verification, central billing, spend limits per user and per organization, usage analytics, and org-wide instructions
  • No training on your data. Anthropic does not train models on Team content by default.

What Claude Team does not include

These are Enterprise only:

  • SCIM (automatic user provisioning from Okta, Entra ID and similar)
  • Role-based access beyond admin and member
  • Audit logs and the Compliance API
  • Custom data retention
  • A HIPAA-ready setup
  • Inference hooks that check prompts before the model sees them
  • Domain capture, which pulls everyone on your email domain into the company account

If you need any of these, read Claude Team vs. Enterprise before you buy.

Is Claude Team worth it over Pro?

Yes, once three or more people at work use Claude. Team gives each person more usage than Pro at a similar price, and adds what Pro can't: shared projects, one bill, SSO, admin controls and a written commitment not to train on your content. For one person on their own, Pro is enough.

Standard or Premium seats?

Start everyone on Standard. Watch the usage analytics for two to four weeks. Move someone to Premium only when they keep hitting their limit, which usually means heavy daily use of Claude Code or Cowork. A Premium seat costs five times as much, so it should save more than an hour or two a week to pay for itself.

When should you move to Enterprise?

Move when one of these becomes true: you pass 150 people, IT needs SCIM or audit logs, you are in healthcare and need HIPAA, or legal needs negotiated terms. Many companies run Team in one department first, learn what they need, then move.

The handoff that survives your departure

The measure of a forward-deployed engagement is not what works on your last day. It is what still works in month six, after a model deprecation, a schema change, and the departure of the one person who understood it. Most handoffs fail on the same four things.

Scoping an FDE engagement: the first week decides the next three months

Every failed forward-deployed engagement was scoped wrong in week one. The client described a system that does not exist, you agreed to a deliverable nobody can define, and by week six you are building the wrong thing competently. Here is what to ask, who to ask, and how to size the work before you commit to it.

The four Claude certifications — and the prerequisite that blocks most people

Anthropic runs four proctored Claude certifications through Pearson VUE, from $99 to $175, 120 minutes each. There is a registration requirement almost nobody mentions up front: you need a work email at an organisation in the Claude Partner Network. Here is what each exam covers, who can sit it, and whether it is worth the prep time.
