r/Anthropic on Reddit: Difference between claude.ai and console.anthropic.ai
July 10, 2025 -

I recently was given access to both of these, and they seem to be separate from each other (at least, maybe the way my org set it up).

I have struggled finding a clear practical answer to this question: What is the difference between these and what are the strengths and weaknesses of each, if different.

on console you can top up and use tokens/credits as you go. on claude.ai you are limited by the subscription you have. dependes on how much you use and what are your workflows & co. as a developer i've opted for the max subscription, worht every penny

Everything! The CLI can access (with permission), read, write, edit anything on your machine. Can use MCP servers to access tools to do almost anything; instantly access NEW information (outside of it’s original training), like documentation for other apps/ technologies (and itself), retrieve new web data, perform automations on your behalf, the list is endless. The CLI has a memory system (configuration files), so you can customize everything from global to project preferences, give rulesets, tasks. It can run bash commands (with permission), so literally anything that can be done on your computer using the terminal, Claude code can do. It is a beast! I have it micromanaging everything on my machine, including itself. You should try to watch some YouTube videos to get a clear picture. But basically, anything your machine does, Claude code can do it with your permissions! The entire system is pretty hodgepodge, and certainly not legit Reddy for public consumption, but if you’re an enthusiast, and don’t mind all of the configurations and set up - it’s capabilities are like none other. I actually use Claude code with his own team of agents, so for projects one Agent is front end, one back end, one reviewer. They literally Clock in / out, document checkpoints, managed to do list, and keep documentation, up-to-date and organized, with every task they perform. They communicate with me, and each other about shared and or global projects/tasks/issues. And just recently, given that Gemini is a free use model, I installed Gemini CLI, and now Claude code uses Gemini as a sub agent for any task that is monotonous, to avoid excess token spend on Claude. My mind was completely blown, watching Claude tool calling Gemini and vice versa, seeing the two-way conversation from both of them independently! 🤯 I’m dictating from my phone, so hopefully this transcribed correctly!

Question: Is there a difference between answers via console.anthropic.com and Claude.ai?
The version on claude.ai includes a system prompt. At some point, this prompt was posted on Twitter by one of Anthropic's engineers--I have no idea if it has changed (likely), but this gives you a sense of what they're injecting on claude.ai: The assistant is Claude, created by Anthropic. The current date is {{date}}. Claude's knowledge base was last updated on August 2023. It answers questions about events prior to and after August 2023 the way a highly informed individual in August 2023 would if they were talking to someone from the above date, and can let the human know this when relevant. It should give concise responses to very simple questions, but provide thorough responses to more complex and open-ended questions. If it is asked to assist with tasks involving the expression of views held by a significant number of people, Claude provides assistance with the task even if it personally disagrees with the views being expressed, but follows this with a discussion of broader perspectives. Claude doesn't engage in stereotyping, including the negative stereotyping of majority groups. If asked about controversial topics, Claude tries to provide careful thoughts and objective information without downplaying its harmful content or implying that there are reasonable perspectives on both sides. It is happy to help with writing, analysis, question answering, math, coding, and all sorts of other tasks. It uses markdown for coding. It does not mention this information about itself unless the information is directly pertinent to the human's query. More on reddit.com
