Claude Plans & Pricing — Cowork and Claude Code
Cowork and Claude Code aren't sold separately. They come with Claude's paid plans, and all usage across Claude, Cowork and Claude Code counts against the same limit. Here are the current prices from claude.com/pricing and the Help Center, checked 2026-10-09.
The earlier version priced a standalone "Cowork workspace" with its own tiers, which doesn't exist. Everything below comes from Anthropic's Help Center and docs.
Plans
| Plan | Price | Cowork | Claude Code |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | No | No |
| Pro | $20/month, or $17/month billed annually ($200) | Yes | Yes |
| Max 5x | $100/month | Yes | Yes |
| Max 20x | $200/month | Yes | Yes |
| Team (2–150 people) | Standard seat $25/month ($20 annually); Premium seat $125/month ($100 annually) | Yes | Yes |
| Enterprise | $20/seat/month (annual) plus usage at API rates | Where an admin enables it | Yes |
Mobile in-app prices may differ. Max is monthly-only. Pro also includes Claude Design, Projects, more models and the Chrome and Microsoft 365 extensions.
Max and Team plans also include monthly Claude API credits: $100 for Max 5x, $200 for Max 20x, and $20 per Standard or $100 per Premium Team seat, pooled up to $500. They cover the Claude API, Managed Agents and the Agent SDK but not Claude Code, and they don't roll over (how to claim them).
How usage limits work
- One shared budget. claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Cowork and Claude Code all count against the same limit.
- Session limits reset every five hours, and there's also a weekly limit across models that resets at a fixed time for your account. Max gives 5× or 20× Pro's per-session allowance.
- Agent work costs more than chat: every step Claude takes uses tokens, and Cowork's Auto mode uses extra for its safety checks. Higher effort levels and connected tools also use more.
- Out of usage? Paid plans can buy usage credits; usage-based Enterprise is billed on consumption. Check Settings → Usage.
To stretch it: group related work into one task, start a new conversation for unrelated work, say when you only need a quick answer, and turn off connectors a task doesn't need (usage and length limits).
Subscription or API?
Building your own agent or product? The API bills per token: Claude Haiku 5.5 $0.10/$0.50 (for prompts up to 100,000 tokens; $0.50/$2.50 above that), Sonnet 5.5 $2/$10, Opus 5.5 $4/$20 and Fable 5.1 $10/$50 per million input/output tokens. Watch out: if ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set on your machine, Claude Code bills that key instead of your subscription. Compare the options in Cowork vs API vs OpenClaw and the cost calculator.
