As a systems engineer, I fell in love with Claude last year and quickly grew frustrated with hitting the limits of Claude Professional at $20/month...

I have a single user Google Workspace enterprise account for personal use, which allows me create Google Groups with practically unlimited email aliases for email DL lists, all for $12.00 a month.

To sign up for Claude Team you team at least five different usersbon a Team level account all using the same bespoke domain email address, [email protected], [email protected], etc.

So I signed up for Claude Teams account, using the aliases [email protected], [email protected], etc; but, Anthropic requires SMS code usef verification in order to actually create a user account when trying to accept an invite sent to the alias group email distribution list, e.g. [email protected], [email protected], etc; are all Google Workspace groups that simple redirect all messages to my main email address.

So, having about three older pixels at home that take esim and nano sim, I signed up for the $5 a month(No Data), 100 minute, unlimited plan on Tello.com and within 5 minutes had a fully working esim accepting Anthropic verification SMS codes required for account sign up.

You only have to verify the SMS number once, so I only paid $5 one time for a burner Tello number. I have never been asked again to verify my account with SMS, only URL verification to the email address, that is a single Google Email DL list for each of my claude accounts.

I have four Claude1,Claude2,Claude3,[email protected] accounts, and my productivity and limited were almost never hit.

I hit a limit about every 2 hours on Claude Teams, this is per EACH Claude Teams Plan user account... So when I max out one, after tens of thousands of lines of code generation in most cases, I simply push the work; drop the link to the new GH branch, and select the files to continue with in a new session.

I used this same approach to test Claude Max Pro, and f***, I hit the limit within 20 minutes every single time...

I could get NO deep or long session work done.

Anybody have any insights on this, it seems a bit of an oversight. We either pay $17 per month on individual plans for our team (massive accounting headaches) or we pay $20 for Team users, but without Claude Code we are stuck.

I’d like to upgrade to a team plan but need to find 4 others to join since they only offer to groups of 5 or more for $25 each/month if you pay upfront. If you’re interested lmk!

Hi everyone,If you’re a heavy AI user like me, you’ve probably noticed that the Claude Pro Plan often doesn’t meet the needs of power users. Whether it’s for coding, research, or other complex workflows, hitting the usage cap can be frustrating. That’s why I’m looking to form a small team to split the cost of the Claude Team Plan, which offers higher usage limits and additional collaboration features.

Why the Claude Team Plan?

The Claude Team Plan is designed for fast-growing teams and offers several advantages over the Pro Plan:

• Higher Usage Limits: Each member gets significantly more usage compared to Pro (2–4x higher based on user reports). This means fewer interruptions during intensive tasks.

• Access to All Claude Models: Includes advanced models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Claude 3 Opus, with a 200k token context window—perfect for processing large documents or handling complex projects.

• Collaboration Features: Shared and private projects, centralized billing, and early access to new tools.

• Cost Efficiency When Split: At $25/month per person (billed annually) or $30/month (billed monthly), splitting the cost among 5 members makes it affordable while unlocking premium features.

How Splitting Works

The Team Plan requires a minimum of 5 members, costing $150/month in total. By forming a team:

• Each person pays $30/month if billed monthly or $25/month if billed annually.

• This is only slightly more than the Pro Plan ($20/month) but comes with much higher limits and features.

Who I’m Looking For

I’m seeking 4 other AI enthusiasts or professionals who:

• Regularly use AI tools like Claude for work or personal projects.

• Need higher usage limits than what Pro offers.

• Are willing to commit to a long-term subscription (monthly or annual).

• Want to collaborate on a shared project (optional but encouraged).

This opportunity is perfect for:

• Developers working on coding or automation.

• Researchers handling large datasets or academic tasks.

• Content creators or marketers using AI for brainstorming, writing, or SEO.

• Anyone who frequently hits their Pro Plan limits.

About Me

I’m a full-stack developer who uses Claude extensively for coding assistance, automation scripting in Python, and brainstorming ideas. While this initiative is primarily about splitting costs, I’d love to work on a collaborative project with others if there’s interest—whether it’s building tools, sharing knowledge, or exploring new AI applications.

Why Join?

1. Save money while accessing premium features.

2. Enjoy uninterrupted workflows with higher usage caps.

3. Collaborate with like-minded individuals on innovative projects (optional).

4. Take advantage of advanced models and tools that are unavailable in Pro.

How to Join

If you’re interested:

1. Comment below or DM me with your contact details and preferred billing option (monthly/annual).

2. Once we have 5 committed members, we’ll coordinate payments and set up the subscription.

Let’s make this happen! If you’re tired of hitting limits on the Pro Plan and want an affordable way to upgrade without paying $150/month alone, this is your chance. Looking forward to hearing from you! 😊**[Looking for] Team Members to Share Claude Team Plan Subscription (5 Minimum Rule) for Long-Term Collaboration**
