Claude Team Plan: Price, Limits and Team vs Pro

Claude's Team plan is for groups of 2 to 150 people. A Standard seat costs $25 a month ($20 billed yearly) and gives 1.25 times Pro's usage per 5-hour session; a Premium seat costs $125 ($100 billed yearly) for 6.25 times. Usage limits are per person, so seats can't pool or share what they don't use.

What you get on top of Pro is mostly for the company: central billing, single sign-on, admin controls and enterprise search. Below is what each seat includes as of November 2026, how the limits behave, and how a Team seat fits next to a personal account you already pay for. The facts come from Anthropic's pricing page and its help article What is the Team plan?

What the Team plan costs#

These are US prices before tax. A team needs at least two members, and the plan stops at 150 seats; past that, Anthropic points you to Enterprise. You can mix seat types, such as eight Standard seats and two Premium seats for the people who use Claude all day. Team is available only in supported locations, and claude.ai/upgrade shows the price for yours.

Seats you add or upgrade mid-cycle are charged pro rata straight away. Removing a member doesn't refund anything: the seat stays on the bill and can go to someone else until you lower the seat count, which takes effect at the next renewal. Anthropic's billing article has worked examples.

How usage limits work on Team#

Each member has their own limits. When one person runs out, everyone else keeps working, and nobody can hand their unused allowance to a teammate. Each seat belongs to one named person, logins can't be shared, and a seat isn't meant to rotate between several active users.

A seat has two limits, the same shape as on Pro:

• The 5-hour session limit starts with your first message and resets in full five hours later.
• The weekly limit resets at a fixed day and time assigned to your account, whatever day you started.

Both show in Settings → Usage, and Claude, Claude Desktop and Claude Code all draw from the same allowance. Our post on the 5-hour and weekly limits explains how they interact.

When someone hits a limit, the team has three ways to keep them working:

1. Wait for the reset.
2. Move them to a Premium seat. An Admin changes the seat in Organization settings → Members; if all Premium seats are taken, an Owner buys one.
3. Turn on usage credits. An Owner prepays credits in Organization settings → Usage, and members keep working at standard API rates once their seat runs out. Owners can set a monthly spend limit for the whole organization (and per member, where Anthropic offers it).

The monthly API credit in the table is a different thing. It funds the Claude API in a linked Console organization, for building your own apps and agents. It doesn't add usage in Claude or in interactive Claude Code, per Anthropic's API credits article.

What Team adds over Pro#

Everything in Pro is included: all models, Claude Code, Cowork and projects. The rest is mostly for the people who run the account:

• Central billing and seat management, one invoice for everyone.
• Single sign-on, domain verification and just-in-time provisioning, so people join with their work login.
• Admin controls for connectors, org-wide skills, org instructions, spend limits and usage analytics.
• Enterprise search across Slack, Microsoft 365 and custom connectors, and admin control over which connectors people can use.
• Shared projects, so a team can work from the same instructions and files.
• No model training on your content by default. On Pro, Max and Ultra it's a setting you choose.

As a member, keep in mind that your work chats belong to the organization: its Primary Owner can export them, and an Owner can remove you. Once you're removed, your colleagues can no longer open your chats, even ones you shared with them; projects you shared with the whole organization stay. Our post on work and personal Claude accounts goes through what that means day to day.

Team vs Pro vs Max: which should you buy?#

• Just you: Team isn't for you, since it needs two members and a seat can't be split between people. Pick Pro, Max or Ultra; our Pro vs Max comparison helps you choose.
• A small company or team: Team on Standard seats. It costs $5 a month more than Pro per person (or $3 on yearly billing: $20 against Pro's $17), adds a bit more usage and gives you shared billing, SSO and admin controls.
• Heavy users inside a team: Premium seats. Premium billed yearly costs the same $100 as a personal Max plan and allows 6.25 times Pro's usage per session, against Max's 5 times.
• Over 150 people, or you need audit logs, SCIM or custom data retention: Enterprise, priced at $20 a seat a month plus usage at API rates, billed yearly, with at least 20 seats.

Keeping a Team seat next to your personal account#

Many people end up with both: a Team seat their employer pays for and a personal Pro or Max they keep for their own projects. Anthropic's migration article says you can keep both accounts, and nothing changes. Each keeps its own chats, projects and plan.

Same email for both. If you joined the Team with the email of your personal account, Claude shows a switcher when you click your initials or name in the lower left corner. When the invite asks about your personal account, choose to keep both. Moving it into the organization can't be undone: your personal account closes afterwards, and custom skills, Claude Docs and some artifacts don't move.

Different emails. Claude's switcher can't help here. You sign in to each account separately. In a browser that means one profile per account. In Claude Desktop on a Mac, Clawdrobe gives each account its own Claude app, with its own Dock icon, sign-in and chats, so your Team account and your personal account are open side by side. It shows each account's 5-hour and weekly usage in one window and warns you at 70, 80 and 90% of a limit. Each account also gets a claude-<name> command, so Claude Code runs as the right one. It reads usage from files Claude Desktop writes on your Mac and never calls Claude's servers.

Clawdrobe is free with every feature for two accounts, which covers a work seat plus a personal plan. Clawdrobe Pro is a one-time $10 for unlimited accounts on up to 3 Macs. It needs macOS 26 or later and isn't affiliated with Anthropic. For Claude Code alone, a separate CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR per account does the job too; see how to use multiple accounts in Claude Code.

Pitfalls#

• You can't see your own seat type. Only Admins and above see Standard or Premium, in the Tier column under Organization settings → Members. If you run out sooner than a colleague, ask an Admin which seat you have.
• Premium to Standard waits for renewal. Moving someone down a seat type takes effect at the next renewal, with no pro-rata refund, so plan downgrades ahead of the renewal date.
• Pending invites take seats. If "Add member" is greyed out while seats look free, revoke invites that won't be accepted.
• Work in a personal account is outside the company's view. Keep work in the Team account, where your company's rules and data controls apply.

Quick answers#

• How much is Claude Team? $25 per member a month billed monthly, or $20 billed yearly, for a Standard seat. Premium seats are $125, or $100 billed yearly.
• Does Team have more usage than Pro? A Standard seat gets 1.25 times Pro's allowance per 5-hour session; a Premium seat 6.25 times.
• Is usage shared across the team? No. Each member has their own limits, and unused usage can't move between people.
• Can I buy Team just for myself? No. Team needs at least two members, and each seat belongs to one named person.
• Does Team include Claude Code? Yes, on both seat types, drawing from the same limits as the chat apps.
• Can I keep my personal Pro after joining a Team? Yes. Choose to keep both accounts; on the same email you switch with the switcher, on different emails you sign in to each one.
