Claude

Anthropic’s flagship AI assistant for complex analysis, professional text work, and end-to-end software development. Its primary focus is accurate context handling, instruction following, and agentic automation workflows (Claude Code, MCP).

Capabilities and Use Cases

• Development and coding (Claude Code and MCP). An autonomous CLI agent running directly in the terminal. It scans the codebase, writes and refactors code, runs tests, fixes errors independently, and creates Git PRs. Through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it connects to local and remote databases, GitHub, Jira, and any API.
• Analytics and large-document processing. Analyzes contracts, regulations, estimates, academic publications, and logs containing thousands of lines. It stands out for minimizing hallucinations and delivering high accuracy when extracting facts from large files (a context window of 200k+ tokens).
• Artifacts and Projects. The interactive Artifacts window displays web applications (HTML/JS), SVG graphics, diagrams, and tables directly alongside the chat. The Projects section lets you isolate the knowledge base and instructions for a specific project or client.
• Model lineup. Opus (complex architecture and logic), Sonnet (the optimal balance of speed and reasoning for most tasks), and Haiku (instant simple operations).

Plans and Pricing

• Free ($0). Basic chat access (Sonnet / Haiku models) with rolling hourly limits.
• Pro ($20/month or $200/year). Full access to Opus models, Claude Code, Artifacts, projects, and priority server capacity. The usage limit is approximately 5 times higher than on the free plan.
• Max ($100 or $200/month). 5x and 20x generation-volume plans compared with Pro. Designed for developers who keep Claude Code running throughout the workday.
• Team ($25/month per user or $20/month with annual billing). For teams of 2 or more. Includes an admin panel, unified billing, and expanded limits.
• API (Console). Pay-as-you-go pricing based on millions of input and output tokens.
