Description of Claude

Claude is an AI assistant made by Anthropic PBC. Its homepage describes it as built for problem solvers, helping with complex challenges, data analysis, coding and difficult thinking work. It runs on the web at claude.ai, in iOS and Android apps and in desktop apps.

The pricing page lists a Free plan at $0 that covers chat on web, desktop and mobile, with web search, file creation, code execution and memory. It includes Sonnet and Haiku models but not Opus, and caps projects at five. Free is described as for everyday questions, with usage limits that reset on a rolling five-hour window and no fixed message count.

Pro costs $20 per month on monthly billing, or $17 per month when billed up front as $200 per year. Max starts from $100 per month and offers 5 times or 20 times Pro's usage, higher output limits, priority access at busy times and monthly API credits of $100 or $200. Claude Code, Claude in Chrome and Claude for Microsoft 365 are listed for paid plans only. Paid plans also add weekly limits on top of the five-hour window.

For a buyer, the practical question is whether the Free plan's limits fit your daily use before upgrading. This record refreshes an older listing that described Claude Pro and pointed to anthropic.com; the product entry now points to claude.ai. Team and enterprise offerings exist but were not read for this entry.
