TL;DR

How much does each Claude plan cost?
As of 19 September 2026, claude.com/pricing lists seven price points: Free at 0 USD, Pro at 20 USD, Max 5x at 100 USD, Max 20x at 200 USD, Team Standard from 20 USD, Team Premium from 100 USD and Enterprise at 20 USD per seat plus consumption. Every price excludes tax.
We loaded the page from a German IP, and the English, German and French versions all showed US dollars with the note “Prices shown don’t include applicable tax.” The Pro help article adds that pricing appears “in your local currency where supported” and that some regions include tax in the displayed price while others add it at checkout. We could not verify an official euro price on a public page.
| Plan | Monthly | Annual (per month) | Usage | People |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 0 USD | 0 USD | baseline | 1 |
| Pro | 20 USD | 17 USD (200 USD up front) | at least 5x Free per 5-hour session | 1 |
| Max 5x | 100 USD | not offered | 5x Pro | 1 |
| Max 20x | 200 USD | not offered | 20x Pro | 1 |
| Team Standard | 25 USD per seat | 20 USD per seat | 1.25x Pro | 2 to 150 |
| Team Premium | 125 USD per seat | 100 USD per seat | 6.25x Pro (5x Standard) | 2 to 150 |
| Enterprise | not offered | 20 USD per seat plus API usage | pay per use | 20 seats minimum (self-serve), 50 via sales |
The pricing page only says “From $100” for Max; the 200 USD figure for Max 20x comes from the Max help article. The seat multipliers come from the Team help article.
What does each plan include?
Pro is the first plan with Claude Code, Opus and no five-project cap. Max adds only capacity and priority at peak times. Team adds SSO, central billing and no model training on your content by default. Only Enterprise brings SCIM, audit logs, the Compliance API and custom data retention. If you want Cowork without seats on an EU cloud endpoint, read our Claude Cowork enterprise guide.
Every plan meters usage in a rolling 5-hour window, and paid plans add weekly limits. There is no fixed message count. When you hit the limit on a paid plan, you can buy usage credits at standard API rates.
| Feature | Free | Pro / Max | Team | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | no | yes | yes | yes |
| Opus | no | yes | yes | yes |
| Fable | no | Pro: credits only, Max: 50% of weekly limit | 50% of weekly limit on premium seats | yes |
| SSO, central billing | no | no | yes | yes |
| SCIM, audit logs, role-based access | no | no | no | yes |
| Compliance API, custom retention | no | no | no | yes |
| IP allowlisting, HIPAA-ready offering | no | no | no | yes |
| Model training | opt-out | opt-out | none by default | none by default |
| Payment | n/a | card | card | card, ACH, invoice (sales-assisted) |
The training row matters most for GDPR. Free, Pro and Max are consumer products. If a user allows training, the Anthropic Privacy Center says de-identified data may be kept for up to 5 years; otherwise deleted chats leave the back end within 30 days. For the contract side, see our Claude GDPR comparison across providers.
What does Claude cost via the API, Bedrock and Google Cloud?
Through the API you pay per million tokens, not per seat. Sonnet 5 costs 2 USD input and 10 USD output; Opus 5 costs 5 and 25 USD. EU data residency on Bedrock or Google Cloud adds 10%. Enterprise usage is billed at the same Anthropic API rates.
| Model (USD per 1M tokens, input/output) | Claude API | Bedrock EU geo | Google Cloud EU multi-region |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Fable 5.1 | 10 / 50 | not available | 11 / 55 |
| Claude Opus 5 | 5 / 25 | 5.50 / 27.50 | 5.50 / 27.50 |
| Claude Sonnet 5 | 2 / 10 | 2.20 / 11 | 2.20 / 11 |
| Claude Haiku 4.5 | 1 / 5 | 1.10 / 5.50 | 1.10 / 5.50 |

Which Claude plan fits which company?
Solo consultants without client data can live with Pro. From two people handling company data, we recommend Team, because only business plans skip training by default and include SSO. Enterprise pays off once SCIM, audit logs or custom deletion periods are mandatory. If you build Claude into your own software, use the API on Bedrock or Google Cloud; our Amazon Bedrock guide explains the AWS side. Our Claude Enterprise vs Bedrock comparison weighs the top plan against the cloud route.
| Situation | Recommendation | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Individual, private or public content | Pro | 20 USD, Claude Code included |
| Developer on Claude Code all day | Max 5x or Team Premium | capacity; Team Premium under a business contract |
| SME, 2 to 150 people, company data | Team Standard plus a few Premium seats | SSO, no training, seats can be mixed |
| Auditors require audit logs and SCIM | Enterprise | only plan that has them |
| More than 150 people | Enterprise | Team caps at 150 |
| EU data residency for your own apps | API via Bedrock EU or Google EU | region control, 10% premium |
Our position: putting company data into personal Pro or Max accounts is a governance mistake, even with training switched off. There is no central admin, no SSO, and the account belongs to the employee, not the company. If you are still choosing between assistants, read our Claude vs ChatGPT comparison for European companies.
Cost example: what does Claude cost for a 20-person team?
Twenty Team Standard seats on annual billing cost 400 USD per month, or 4,800 USD per year before tax. Monthly billing raises that to 6,000 USD. Swapping five seats to Premium for developers brings the total to 9,600 USD per year.
| Scenario | Calculation | Per month | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team, 20 Standard, annual | 20 x 20 USD | 400 USD | 4,800 USD |
| Team, 20 Standard, monthly | 20 x 25 USD | 500 USD | 6,000 USD |
| Team, 15 Standard + 5 Premium, annual | 15 x 20 + 5 x 100 USD | 800 USD | 9,600 USD |
| Enterprise, 20 seats + assumed usage | 400 USD + 240 USD | 640 USD | 7,680 USD |
The Enterprise row is a model, not a quote. We assumed 3M input and 0.6M output tokens per person per month on Sonnet 5: 60M input tokens (120 USD) plus 12M output tokens (120 USD). Self-serve Enterprise buys usage up front as credits, billed in USD only, per the Enterprise billing article.
