Claude
Anthropic's long-context writing and coding assistant
Strong on long documents, careful editing and coding. Free plan available; Pro and Max raise usage and unlock Claude Code.
Claude is Anthropic's assistant. Official pricing: Free for everyone; Pro at $20/month ($17/month billed annually); Max from $100/month with 5x or 20x Pro usage. Claude Code is included on paid plans and shares the same usage pool.
It shines on long-context reading, careful rewriting and agentic coding sessions. Usage resets on a rolling five-hour window with weekly caps on paid plans. Upgrade when you regularly hit limits rather than guessing a plan in advance.
