Plans that include Claude Code

  • Pro — $20/month when billed monthly; the retrieved source shows an effective $17/month with a $200 annual upfront subscription.
  • Max 5x — $100/month.
  • Max 20x — $200/month.

Subscription price is not the same as every possible usage cost

A Claude subscription and API usage are different billing contexts. This page therefore avoids collapsing every Claude Code workflow into one universal cost figure.

The canonical source should be checked again before procurement because limits, included usage and plan packaging can change.
