Claude Pricing 2025: full guide to Free, Pro, Team, and Max plans with updated limits

Claude’s pricing structure in late 2025 is built around four application-level plans—Free, Pro, Team, and Max—each defining access to models, usage capacity, collaboration features, and priority during peak demand. All plans use session-based limits that reset every five hours, but the depth of access within each session changes significantly depending on the subscription. Free provides light usage with soft daily caps; Pro unlocks high-end models and more stable capacity; Team introduces pooled quotas and admin control; and Max delivers extremely high usage for individuals who rely on Claude as a continuous professional tool. These tiers are separate from API pricing and focus on the claude.ai experience across web, desktop, and mobile.

Claude Free provides basic access with rotating five-hour sessions that refresh throughout the day.

The Free plan grants direct access to Claude Sonnet 4 and similar mid-range models, offering a recurring five-hour session that resets automatically. Usage inside each session is not defined by a fixed message number; instead, the limit varies depending on system load, message length, file size, and model chosen. As load increases globally, the number of free interactions per session can shrink, creating a flexible but unpredictable ceiling that fits occasional use. Users can reach practical daily limits quickly when working with long documents, code files, or repeated regenerations, making Free suitable for simple tasks or lightweight productivity without sustained workloads.

........Claude Free — late 2025

Feature	Behavior	Limit structure	Typical usage
Models available	Sonnet-grade access	Varies with load	General questions and short tasks
Session window	5-hour rotating	Resets automatically	Distributed usage across day
Message capacity	Dynamic	Soft caps fluctuate	Occasional workflows
File handling	Allowed with constraints	Smaller files recommended	One-off uploads and short summaries

Claude Pro expands model access, increases session capacity, and adds priority handling for individual professionals.

Claude Pro adds access to the highest-end models—such as Opus 4.x and advanced long-context Sonnet variants—and provides at least five times the usage per session compared with Free. The five-hour reset remains the structural boundary, but the higher throughput makes Pro stable for sustained daily work. Pro also unlocks enhanced file handling, early-feature previews, and performance benefits during high-traffic periods. The plan supports more complex coding tasks, longer research sessions, and document-heavy workflows without reaching limits as quickly. In late 2025, Pro has also absorbed new feature layers such as Projects and expanded Claude Code capabilities.

........Claude Pro — late 2025

Feature	Behavior	Limit structure	Typical usage
Model access	Full model range including Opus	Highest performance for individuals	Research, writing, coding tasks
Session capacity	≥5× Free capacity	5-hour reset	Long sessions with stable output
Priority access	Elevated	Stronger during peak times	Daytime professional workflows
Document handling	Expanded	Supports large files	Editing, structuring, analysis

Claude Team introduces pooled capacity, multi-seat licensing, and admin management suited for organizational work.

The Team plan builds on Pro by allowing organizations to purchase multi-seat access with a five-seat minimum. Usage capacity is pooled across team members, meaning that heavy usage by some can be balanced by lighter usage by others. Admin tools enable centralized billing, user management, workspace oversight, and governance across shared environments. Team also supports collaboration features such as shared workspaces and integrations with Slack, Microsoft Teams, and internal systems. Businesses that rely on Claude Code can assign premium coding seats in environments where different team members require different levels of compute intensity.

........Claude Team — late 2025

Feature	Behavior	Limit structure	Typical usage
Seat structure	Minimum 5 seats	Shared quota pool	Small and mid-size teams
Collaboration	Shared workspaces	Admin-managed	Group research, writing, planning
Integrations	Slack, Teams, connectors	Centralized control	Cross-department workflows
Claude Code	Standard or premium seats	Pooled capacity	Engineering and analytics teams

Claude Max delivers significantly higher usage through 5× and 20× plans designed for continuous professional workloads.

Claude Max is structured for individuals who rely on Claude for full-time, high-volume tasks. The plan is offered in two forms—Max 5× and Max 20×—each multiplying Pro’s session capacity by five or twenty. The five-hour session cycle remains, but users can sustain extensive work inside each window, handling long documents, continuous coding, large research cycles, and multi-file projects. Max subscribers receive the strongest priority across all consumer tiers, plus extended access to advanced tools such as Claude Code at higher performance levels. Weekly usage safeguards introduced in late 2025 still apply, preventing unlimited nonstop use but allowing far more capacity than Pro.

........Claude Max — late 2025

Feature	Behavior	Limit structure	Typical usage
Plan variants	Max 5× and Max 20×	5-hour reset	Continuous professional work
Session capacity	Extremely high	Multipliers on Pro	Coding, research, content production
Priority level	Highest tier	Stable during peak load	Heavy daily usage
Tool access	Extended Claude Code	Weekly caps apply	Technical or intensive workflows

.....

Claude’s subscription tiers align around session-based windows, priority allocation, and clear segmentation for personal, team, and power-user needs.

The four plans—Free, Pro, Team, and Max—share a foundational structure built on rotating session windows, while differing in throughput, priority, collaboration features, and total usable capacity per day. Free fits light and occasional use, Pro supports individual professionals, Team brings pooled resources to organizations, and Max enables intensive workloads where Claude becomes a primary daily tool. The tier model remains consistent across web, desktop, and mobile, providing predictable performance and well-defined upgrade paths.
