Just got the Anthropic email about Claude Code now being available on Team plans, but the pricing has me scratching my head. They want $150/month per premium seat for Claude Code access. That’s a steep jump compared to the Max 5x plan I have, which gives me Claude Code for $100/month.
Here’s where it gets weird: Is this $150/seat whether you use Claude Code or not? Can you mix and match—add Claude Code to just some team members and leave others on standard seats? (If so, why not just buy a few Max plans and skip the team setup?)
And what’s the actual value for teams? The email talks about “seamless ideation to implementation” and “usage analytics,” but I’m not seeing how this justifies a 50% price hike per seat, especially for smaller teams or agencies.
Am I missing a key benefit here? Or is this just Anthropic trying to nudge everyone into higher-priced plans for features that used to be more flexible?
Would love to hear if anyone else has figured this out or sees a reason to upgrade. I am admittedly a slow learner.
Hello, we are a small company with a development team of 20 people. We need to give our programmers access to Claude Code CLI. However, I've seen that it can be done in two ways: the Teams plan with a premium seat for $150 USD/month, or with personal plans for $25 USD/month.
For a small team of 20 people, the Personal Pro plans seem much more cost-effective. The difference of $2,500 USD/month ($30,000 USD/year) is very significant.
Does anyone have experience with this type of setup? Is it worth paying $150 USD per month? Is there a significant difference?
Thank you very much.
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.
