Claude pricing in 2026: which plan for which use.

Claude comes in five plans, from €0 to Enterprise. The official price list, what each plan really unlocks (Claude Code, Opus, usage), how the limits work, and the plan that fits your use.

02 · Features

What each plan unlocks.

The biggest jump is from Free to Pro: that is where Claude Code and the Opus models, the most capable in the lineup, come in.

03 · Usage

How usage limits work.

Claude does not count fixed messages but usage per 5-hour session:

  • Pro gives more usage per session than Free.
  • Max gives 5 or 20 times more usage than Pro, depending on the tier.
  • Team: a Standard seat gives more than Pro, a Premium seat 5 times more than a Standard seat.

Anthropic reserves the right to apply other limits, such as weekly or monthly caps, to keep access fair. In practice: if you regularly hit the limit on Pro, that is the signal to move to Max or a Premium seat.

04 · Claude Cowork

What about Claude Cowork.

Many searches still mention "Claude Cowork". Anthropic's pricing page says Claude Cowork is now part of Claude itself, rolling out to Pro and Max, with other plans to follow. On the Team side, the page lists "Claude Code and Claude Cowork" among the included features.

05 · The right choice

Which plan to choose.

Your situation Our recommendation
Discovering, occasional use Free
Daily professional use, writing, analysis, first steps with Claude Code Pro, billed annually
You work with Claude all day, heavy Claude Code use Max
A team, business data, need for administration Team
Compliance, advanced SSO, audit logs, data control Enterprise

For a team, Team has an often decisive advantage: your content is not used to train the models by default, and administration (central billing, SSO) avoids a sprawl of personal accounts.

07 · Frequently asked questions

Claude pricing: what people ask us.

Is Claude free?

Yes, on the Free plan: chat on web, desktop and mobile, web search, file creation, memory, connectors and up to 5 projects. Opus models, Claude Code and Research require a paid plan.

How much does Claude Pro cost?

As shown for France: €15 a month with an annual commitment (€180 upfront), or €18 a month with no commitment, excluding tax. Pro includes Claude Code, Opus models, projects, Research, and Claude in Chrome and Microsoft 365.

What is the difference between Claude Pro and Claude Max?

Usage. Max gives 5 or 20 times more usage than Pro per 5-hour session, higher output limits, priority access at busy times and early access to some features. It starts at €90/month, billed monthly.

Is Claude Code included in Claude Pro?

Yes. Claude Code is included in Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise, but not in Free. The full guide is in Claude Code.

What happened to Claude Cowork?

According to Anthropic's pricing page, Claude Cowork is now part of Claude itself, rolling out to Pro and Max plans first, with other plans to follow.

Are my conversations used to train the models?

On Free, Pro and Max, it is a setting you can turn off. On Team, your content is not used for training by default. For business data, that is a strong argument for Team or Enterprise.
