Product cover

Claude is an assistant for writing, coding, document work and data visualization. The free plan includes web search, file creation and connectors with usage limits. Pro expands usage, adds projects and Research, and includes Claude Code. Max provides higher allowances for heavier workloads. Web, desktop and mobile access let users continue work across devices. Choose a plan based on expected usage and integrations; higher subscription tiers expand access rather than guaranteeing that every generated answer or code change is correct.
