Claude Code is now available to Pro plans

Seems like it's a "limited" version of the offering though:

> Pro ($20/month): Average users can send approximately 45 messages with Claude every 5 hours, OR send approximately 10-40 prompts with Claude Code every 5 hours > Model access: Pro plan subscribers can access Sonnet 4, but won’t be able to use Opus 4 with Claude Code

Most importantly no Opus 4. Still a great nice to have!

Nice, only got the pro plan and didn't want to get Nickel and Dimed per usage so ended up ignoring claude code, but will give it another go now to see how far I can get with the Pro plan.

Turned out to be a blessing as it led me to discovering augmentcode.com which I'm now using. It's a monthly usage cap but has a unique context engine where it indexes your entire code base which gives its agents access to a lot more content about your code base which helps when adding features to match your existing implementations without needing to explicitly feed it context in every agent message. It still uses Claude Sonnet 4 [1] under the hood so the results are great.

Blows me away what AI agents are capable of these days, it's especially nice when they end up creating new Tailwind UIs (Vue) that's better looking than what I was even thinking about creating.

Doesn't give me an option to log in with Pro. I updated and restarted.

Anyone else have success logging in with Pro? (It says Max or PayAsYouGo).

Does anyone know if this is available for the Teams plans as well? I still use a teams plan (5 users where I only use one seat). I did this before Anthropic introduced the Max plans. Would love to migrate to Max plan, but I don't have the time to recreate dozens of projects with all the attachments.

Is someone from Anthropic reading this? Is it possible to downgrade Teams plan to an individual Max plan and keep all the projects?

I spent several hours and a few dollars with Claude Code last night on the PAYG plan so this is a welcome change if it gives me more for my Claude subscription.

Cursor still obscures Claude to me in every way, since it uses 3.5 and 4.0 Claude models, has almost no request limit from my personal uses, either. $20 goes possibly exponentially further on Cursor than Claude does for now. This could change in a week, though.

If/once you get Claude Code to work for you, there's really no good reason not to get the Claude Max.

Can you have different people at different levels on the Teams plan? Like 2 pro, 2 max 5x, and 1 max 20x?

Them can you have it overflow to API credits once it hits the 5 hours max?

I would subscribe to Max if they had a coding agent interface on web like OpenAI's Codex, but without a novel implementation like that the monthly plan doesn't make sense since you can just use API, OpenRouter, etc.

seems like dev agent pricing is consolidating around

  20/mo      (light use)
  100-200/mo (heavy use)
  metered    (brrrt use)

It tells me that I need to upgrade to max still.

Cost vs value for coding, I'm still sticking with Gemini 2.5 Pro. I tried Sonnet and Opus in Cursor Max mode, and it was very expensive comparatively.

I read through the pricing page and it's super confusing. Like I can understand it but it just seems very awkward.

I much prefer the price, and pricing model, of Windsurf (although Claude 4 not being an option is odd)

How does it compare to a as aider?

What's new here? I thought this already worked?

The biggest problem I have with Claude Code is that if, for some reason, the past discussion is not in the terminal then there is no way to review it. This is crucial to understand why my project went one way and not the other.

Aider might be less polished but at least it keeps an .md file with the chat history. That's why I am back to Aider + claude-opus-4.

no thanks.

- the real-world performance of Claude makes it seem like a grift.

- the real-world pricing of Claude seems to confirm this.
