Claude Max costs $100 per month
Anthropic lists Claude Max at $100 per month. The higher-priced option is Claude Ultra at $200 per month; Anthropic says Ultra is the new name for the former Max 20x plan. The available pricing information gives dollar-denominated monthly prices but does not establish the currency or tax treatment, so check the amount shown at checkout.

| Plan | Listed monthly price | Documented usage information |
|---|---|---|
| Max | $100 | The supplied official information does not establish the exact Pro-relative multiplier or whether it applies to five-hour limits, weekly limits, or both. |
| Ultra | $200 | Anthropic describes 10× Pro’s weekly usage; verified accounts have no five-hour limit. |
These usage descriptions are not guaranteed message counts. Actual usage can vary with factors such as model choice, conversation length, and features used. (How do usage and length limits work?)
What does the extra $100 for Ultra get you?
Ultra costs $100 more per month than Max. Anthropic’s supplied plan information describes Ultra’s higher weekly usage and says verified accounts have no five-hour limit. The exact Max usage multiplier and time-window comparison are not established in the information available here, so don’t treat a specific Max allowance as guaranteed. Choose based on whether you need Ultra’s documented weekly allowance and account condition; check your Claude account’s usage settings for your applicable limits.

Does Claude Max include production API usage?
Claude app subscriptions and Claude API usage are billed separately. The supplied Anthropic information says Max includes $100 in monthly API credits and Ultra includes $200 in monthly API credits. Those credits do not make API use unlimited; production costs depend on API usage and model rates. For budgeting, consult Anthropic’s Claude API pricing. The available information here does not establish the credit redemption steps, eligible usage, expiry, or treatment of costs beyond the credits.
