Claude Plans
Also: Claude pricing, Claude Team, Claude Enterprise, Claude Pro, Claude Max
Claude is available across several pricing tiers: Free (basic access to Sonnet, limited usage), Pro ($20/month — higher limits, all models, Cowork, Dispatch), Max ($100/month — very high usage limits), Team Standard ($25/seat/month — admin tools, shared Projects, 5-seat minimum), Team Premium ($125/seat/month — includes Claude Code), and Enterprise (custom pricing — SSO/SCIM, HIPAA-ready, 500K context, full compliance controls). The right plan depends on how many people need access and what level of admin control you need.
In practice
You're using Claude for personal productivity and hitting the message limit constantly. You upgrade to Claude Pro. Your company wants to give the whole team access with shared Projects and admin controls — that's Claude Team. A developer building an app on Claude uses the API, which is usage-based and not a subscription plan.
