Claude Team vs Enterprise: Pricing and Features in 2026
Short answer
Claude Team costs $20 per person a month for a Standard seat with annual billing, or $25 with monthly billing. A Premium seat costs $100 or $125 and gives five times more usage than Standard. Team covers 2 to 150 people. Enterprise bills access and usage separately, so the choice depends on the management features and the bill for the whole team.

Per person a month with annual billing, $25 with monthly billing. 2 to 150 seats. Usage limits per seat.

Prices are in USD, before tax. You can check the current rates in Anthropic's pricing and in the Team plan description.
How much does Claude Team cost?
One Team plan can mix Standard and Premium seats. Premium goes to people who work with Claude all day, Standard to the rest of the team.
| Item | Monthly billing | Annual billing, per month |
|---|---|---|
| Team Standard | $25 | $20 |
| Team Premium | $125 | $100 |
| 10 Standard seats together | $250 | $200 |
Annual billing lowers the seat price by 20%. It does tie the company in for a whole year, so choose it when you know how many accounts you need.
- Claude Code and Cowork, also on Standard seats
- Sign-in through company SSO and domain verification
- Shared billing and an admin panel
- Connectors: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, GitHub
- Usage statistics for the administrator
- Company data does not train models by default
Claude API credits in the Team plan
Since October 2026, Team gives monthly credits for the Claude API: $20 for each Standard seat and $100 for each Premium seat. The credits go into one pool, capped at $500 a month. A team with three Standard and two Premium seats gets $260.
The credits cover the API, Claude Managed Agents and the Agent SDK. They do not cover Claude Code or extra usage in the app, and they do not roll over to the next month (credits documentation). For a company planning its first integration, it is a pilot budget with no separate card.
How much does Claude Enterprise cost?
Enterprise costs $20 a seat a month, billed annually. The seat fee buys access only. Every token in the chat, Claude Code and Cowork is paid separately at API rates.
Enterprise has no usage limits per seat. In their place the administrator sets spending limits for the whole company and for individual people. More usage means a bigger bill, and a set limit stops the work when the budget runs out.
| Item | Self-serve Enterprise | Enterprise through sales |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum number of seats | 20 | 50 |
| Usage | Credits bought in advance | A monthly invoice for usage |
| Currency | USD only | Several currencies |
| Payment | Card, ACH transfer | Card, transfer, invoice with payment terms |
Older Enterprise agreements with Standard and Premium seats have usage limits and different rules. Check the terms of such an agreement in the contract.
Team or Enterprise: a comparison table
| Dimension | Claude Team | Claude Enterprise |
|---|---|---|
| Seat price | $20 or $25, Premium $100 or $125 | $20, annual only |
| Usage | Limits per seat, paid extra usage once switched on | Every token at API rates, spending limits set by the administrator |
| Number of seats | 2 to 150 | From 20, through sales from 50 |
| Accounts | SSO, domain verification | SSO, SCIM, domain capture, roles with permissions |
| Control | Usage statistics | Audit logs, Compliance API, your own data retention |
| Compliance | Data not used to train models | The same plus a HIPAA-ready offer |
| Payment | Card, monthly or annual | Card, ACH, invoice through sales, annual |
Write a security requirement down as a condition you can check. The sentence "we need Enterprise" does not say whether it is about removing accounts from the directory, a history of actions, data retention or an invoice with payment terms.
Team or Enterprise: how to choose
A team of 2 to 150 people, SSO and shared billing are enough
Team Standard
$20
A few people work with Claude all day and hit the limits
Premium for those people
$100
Accounts must be created and removed from the company directory (SCIM)
Enterprise
$20 + usage
Legal needs audit logs and its own retention
Enterprise
$20 + usage
You are still checking how many accounts you need and for which tasks
Team, monthly
$25
Heavy usage alone does not settle it for Enterprise. First count both options on your own numbers. Choosing the model vendor is a separate decision, described in the article Claude or ChatGPT for business.
An example bill for a team
Take a team of 20 people: 18 need a Standard seat, 2 need Premium. Here is the bill for the seats alone.
- Monthly billing
- 18 × $25 + 2 × $125 = $700
- Annual billing, per month
- 18 × $20 + 2 × $100 = $560
- API credits included
- $500 a month
Team a year, seats alone
$6,720
The same 20 people on Enterprise pay $400 a month for access, or $4,800 a year. Usage comes on top. Below is a scenario with assumed usage.
- Tasks per person
- 30 a day, 20 days a month
- One task
- 5,000 input tokens, 1,000 output tokens
- Cost of one task
- $0.01 + $0.01 = $0.02
- Team usage
- 20 × 600 × $0.02 = $240
- Seats
- 20 × $20 = $400
Enterprise a month
$640 (€571)
The number of tasks and tokens are the scenario's assumptions. Sonnet 5.5 rates: $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens (Anthropic API pricing, October 2026). Converted at the ECB rate of 1.1205 USD per euro on 22 October 2026.
In this scenario Enterprise costs $640 a month and Team $560. For $80 more the company gets SCIM, audit logs and no limits per seat. With twice the usage, Enterprise costs $880. That is why it pays to measure usage for a month on the Team plan before choosing.
When a subscription is not enough
A subscription gives every person a good assistant. It will not build a process for the company in which the result lands in a system without retyping.
- 01Reading the caseThe system reads a request from a shared inbox or a form.
- 02Checking the dataIt looks up the customer, the order or the document in the CRM and the document store.
- 03Company rulesIt applies the rules agreed with the process owner.
- 04Exceptions to a personMissing information and unusual cases go to an employee.
- 05Saving the resultThe result lands in the target system, within the permissions.
- 06HistoryThe sources, the result and every step are recorded for review.
We build such a flow as an automation or an agent, from €3,000 net. The wider scope is described in integrating ChatGPT and Claude with company systems.
What to order besides licences
You buy licences directly from Anthropic. The Claude rollout at Syntalith covers choosing the plan, accounts and roles, rules for working with data and training on the team's tasks.
| Claude rollout package | Net price | For whom |
|---|---|---|
| A team of up to 10 people | from €1,150 | A small company or one department |
| A team of up to 40 people | from €2,300 | Several departments on one plan |
| Above 40 people or Enterprise | from €4,600 | A large company or the Enterprise plan |
| Review of an existing account | €450 | The licences are there, 5 tasks set up in 1 day |
Team training costs from €1,150 net a day. The Audit from €600 net gives a process map and a fixed price for the build, and it is credited towards the rollout.
When not to buy the more expensive plan
- You work alone. Team starts at two seats, and Pro costs $20 a month.
- The current limits are enough and nobody needs SCIM or audit logs.
- The process changes every week and has no decision owner.
- You do not know the volume yet. A month on Team with monthly billing will show how many accounts and how much usage you need.
Billing in an EU company
Anthropic's prices are in USD, so the bill in euros depends on the exchange rate at payment. Self-serve Enterprise accepts USD only. An invoice in another currency needs a plan through sales.
We state Syntalith's prices in euros net, without VAT. Confirm with your accountant how a foreign digital service is booked.
Worked example · Scenario
How we count the payback on Claude: notes after 150 meetings
In the analysis we pick 3 to 5 of the team's tasks with you and count what they cost today. After 30 days we measure the same time again.
€1,745
a month for writing notes after 150 meetings
Payback: 1 mo.
Our assumptions are 20 minutes for the note and task list after a meeting, and checking in 25% of the old time. €34.90 an hour is the EU average hourly labour cost for 2025 according to Eurostat, for companies with 10 or more employees. Licence: ChatGPT Business or Claude Team at 20 USD per person a month on annual billing, about €17.85 at the ECB rate of 1.1205 USD per euro on 22 October 2026. We count the whole licence against notes here, although the team also uses it for other work. Rollout: from €1,150 for up to 10 people, from €2,300 for 11 to 40 people.
