Claude Code is included as part of Anthropic's Claude plans rather than sold separately.

• Free ($0/month): Lets you chat with Claude but does not include Claude Code access.

• Pro ($17 to $20/month): Adds Claude Code along with Claude Cowork, Claude Design, more usage, and access to more models.

• Max (from $100/month): Everything in Pro with 5x or 20x more usage, higher output limits, and priority access.

• Team ($20 to $125 per seat/month): Built for teams of 2 to 150, with Standard and Premium seats, admin controls, and single sign-on.

• Enterprise (Custom pricing): Adds spend limits, audit logs, compliance tools, and usage billed at API rates.

Developers can also use Claude models through the API, priced per million tokens depending on the model chosen.

GitHub Copilot CLI comes with every Copilot plan, from free to enterprise. The Free plan costs nothing and gives you 2,000 completions a month along with basic models and the CLI itself.

For individuals, the Pro plan is $10 per user each month and unlocks unlimited completions, Cloud Agent access, Code Review, and third-party agents like Claude Code, plus $15 in monthly AI credits. Pro+ moves up to $39 a month with premium Opus models and $70 in credits, while Max costs $100 a month with priority access and $200 in monthly credits.

Teams can choose Business at $19 per user a month for pooled credits and admin controls, or Enterprise at $39 per user a month for organization wide rollout with larger pooled credits and premium support.
