Claude Code pricing

Claude Code is not sold on its own: it comes with every paid Claude plan and shares one usage pool with Claude chat, or you pay per token through a Claude Console account. Paid plans start at $20 a month (Pro). Checked 2026-11-07 on Anthropic's own pricing page and docs.

How usage is measured: 5-hour and weekly limits, shared with Claude chat. Prices in USD, before tax.

What's not included

  • Claude Code on the Free plan.
  • A fixed message count: how fast you reach a limit depends on the model, chat length and file size.
  • Annual billing on Max and Ultra (both are monthly only).
  • SSO, SCIM and audit logs on the individual plans.

Free plan and trial

No free trial for Pro, Max or Ultra on the pricing page. Trials are listed only for sales-assisted Enterprise.

API and own-key costs

Instead of a plan, pay per token through a Claude Console account (per 1M tokens: Opus 5.5 $4 input / $20 output, Sonnet 5.5 $2 / $10, Haiku 5.5 $0.10 / $0.50 for prompts up to 100K tokens, Fable 5.1 $10 / $50; batch is 50% off). Anthropic's Claude Code docs put the average at about $13 per developer per active day and $150 to $250 per developer per month across enterprise deployments, with 90% of users under $30 per active day. On paid plans, usage credits let you keep working past a limit at standard API rates. Per-token API prices.
