Claude Cowork pricing: what each plan costs and what a team pays

Claude Cowork comes with every paid Claude plan. For one person, that’s Pro at $20 a month, Max at $100 or Ultra at $200. On a Team plan, a standard seat is $25 a person a month, and Enterprise is $20 a person plus usage. The Free plan doesn’t include Cowork. So a team of 10 on standard seats pays $250 a month, or $200 billed yearly.

Max is a single $100 plan. The $200 plan is called Ultra, so a page that lists Max at “$100 or $200” is out of date.

Claude Team pricing per seat, and what a team pays for Cowork

A Team plan takes 2 to 150 people, and each seat is for one named person. Usage can’t be shared or moved between seats, so the bill grows with every person who uses Cowork, and a light user’s spare allowance can’t cover a heavy user who runs out.

These options don’t buy the same amount of work. If you’re on Max and weighing Team, compare Max with a premium seat, the Team seat closest to it in usage. Billed yearly, a premium seat costs the same as Max.

Enterprise starts at 20 seats, so 25 people pay $500 a month before anyone does any work, plus usage that depends on the model and the task.

How Cowork usage counts against your Claude limits

The monthly price buys an allowance, not unlimited work. Paid Claude plans have a session limit that resets every five hours and a weekly limit on top, and your chats, Claude Code and the Claude desktop app all draw on the same limit. Anthropic says Cowork “consumes limits faster than Chat.”

So is Pro enough for Cowork? For light use, yes. For heavy use, Anthropic’s own advice is to upgrade.

When someone hits a limit, they wait for it to reset or keep going on usage credits, billed at API rates on top of the plan. Team plans can turn them on too, so a team’s real monthly cost is the seats plus whatever the heaviest users run past their limits.

Per-seat pricing vs one shared AI teammate with no per-seat fees

Cowork is built for one person: you can share the artifacts a session makes, but not the session itself. A lot of a small team’s work isn’t one person’s, though. It’s the weekly report everyone reads, the customer follow-up a manager signs off on, the question anyone in the channel might ask.

Each person: own seat, own sessions, own limit

• Person 2
• Person 3
• Person 4
• Person 5

We built Dash for that kind of work. Dash is one teammate, not a seat license: anyone can ask it in your Microsoft Teams or Slack channels, text it or use it in web chat. The workspace shares one plan with no per-seat fees, and unused credits roll over, so add the whole team. Dash works across 3,000+ tools and looks things up on its own. By default, anything that sends an email, posts publicly, writes to your CRM or spends money waits for a person’s approval.
