Claude Pricing Explained: Subscription Plans & API Costs | IntuitionLabs
3 days ago - Extended Context and Tools – The ability to use larger context windows and connect third-party tools (via Anthropic’s new “tools” API) increases Claude’s depth of reasoning and data access ([25]). Support for Multiple Models – Pro subscribers can choose from all available Claude models, not just the default ([26]). Importantly, like the Free tier, Claude Pro does not include any built-in image or video generation features. All Claude models (even 4.5) focus on text, code, and static image analysis.

r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Claude Code API Wrapper
July 3, 2025 -

edit Thanks to all the early users. There are a couple of inherent limitations with the CLI/SDK that make using it with Roocode difficult. I think this will work best in chat like applications - if you want to code and have a Claude Code subscription then just use Claude Code 😅

/edit

In an effort to get EVEN more out of the Claude Max Plan - I present the Claude Code API Wrapper/Server.

The tool transforms your Claude Code instance into a API server that can be used (locally) in place of an OpenAI chat completion key. Literally just substitute in your localhost address and you are off to the races.

As ever, starts, issues and PRs are welcome!

r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Claude Code with API key?
April 11, 2025 -

I'm a bit confused about how claude code work for payment. I've been logging in with my personal account and paying for credits but now I have an API key from my employer which I'd like to use. I also have a Claude Desktop subscription from my employer, but when I log in with that for Claude Code I'm still prompted to pay for my own credits and I don't see how to enter my API key.

I must be misunderstanding something - does anyone have any tips?

Claude, Claude API, and Claude Code: What's the Difference?
September 1, 2025 - Claude Pro subscription or a Max subscription includes access to use Claude Code directly in your terminal. The other way is to pay per usage via Claude API, where you pay for the API cost directly to Anthropic (as discussed in the previous section).

Unix philosophy: Claude Code is composable and scriptable. tail -f app.log | claude -p "Slack me if you see any anomalies appear in this log stream" works. Your CI can run claude -p "If there are new text strings, translate them into French and raise a PR for @lang-fr-team to review". Enterprise-ready: Use the Claude API, or host on AWS or GCP.
