What Claude does

Anthropic's Claude works across web, iOS, Android and desktop, and it does more than answer in chat: it can search the web, create files and execute code. Memory carries across conversations, and connectors link it to other apps and tools. Artifacts, along with Claude Design, Slides and Docs, turn a conversation into finished output such as a deck or a document.

Paid plans unlock Research and projects (Free gets up to 5 projects), Claude in Chrome, Claude for Microsoft 365, task hand-off and scheduling, and Claude Code, which shares the plan's usage limits. Voice mode and incognito chats are also on the feature list.

Usage works on a rolling five-hour window, with weekly limits on paid plans. Pro is listed at $20 per month on its pricing page, or $17 per month with an annual subscription. Max is listed at $100 per month with 5x Pro usage, and Ultra at $200 per month with 10x Pro usage each week and no 5-hour limit for verified accounts. Both Max and Ultra include monthly API credits for the Claude Platform, $100 and $200 respectively. Enterprise costs $20 per seat per month plus usage at API rates.
