Anthropic launched Claude Pro, a paid tier for claude.ai, in the US and UK at $20 a month (£18 in the UK). Subscribers got five times the usage of the free tier, priority access during peak traffic, and early access to new features. The company framed it as a response to requests for more file uploads and longer-running conversations, and priced it level with OpenAI's ChatGPT Plus — a step in Anthropic's move from research lab toward consumer subscription business.
