Claude pricing

Free tier: Yes

Claude plans, side by side

Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

Claude pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Claude Haiku 4.5	$1/per million input tokens	2	Entry tier
Claude Sonnet 5	$2/per million input tokens	1	+$1/per million input tokens, 1 more feature
Claude Opus 5	$5/per million input tokens	1	+$3/per million input tokens, 1 more feature
Claude Pro	$20/month	2	+$15/month, 2 more features

What each tier adds

The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

How that compares in AI

Too few ai tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Claude badges page.

Before you pay for Claude

Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.

What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 4 tiers between $1/per million input tokens and $20/month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.

Claude runs on web, ios, android, desktop, api, and is published by Anthropic of San Francisco, California. The full record is on the Claude review, and the rest of the category is under best ai tools.
