How it is calculated

The two plans charge in different ways, so the calculator prices both from your seat counts.

Team = standard seats x $20 + premium seats x $100 (yearly; $25 and $125 monthly) + other API spend - pooled API credits (up to $500 a month) Enterprise = max(users, 20) x $20 + users x usage per user at API rates + other API spend

Team is for 2 to 150 seats. A standard seat gets more usage than Pro; a premium seat gets five times a standard seat. Both have usage limits that Anthropic does not publish as token counts. Team includes up to $500 a month of pooled API credits.

Enterprise is $20 per seat per month billed yearly with a 20-seat minimum, and usage is billed at API rates on top, so cost scales with model and task. Admins can set spend limits per user and per organization. The break-even line shows the average usage per user below which Enterprise costs less than Team.
