Using Claude as an individual is very different from rolling it out across a team or company. While Pro and Max plans focus on personal usage limits and model access, the Team and Enterprise plans layer on administration controls, security features, and collaborative workflows. This guide walks through what each organizational plan actually includes and which type of team it fits best.
Quick Glossary
- SSO (Single Sign-On) — Lets your team log in to Claude using your company's existing account credentials, no separate password needed.
- Domain Capture — Automatically links anyone who signs up with your company email domain to the right team account.
- SCIM — Automatically creates or removes Claude accounts when employees join or leave your organization, synced from your identity provider.
- Audit Logs — A record of who did what and when — essential for security reviews and compliance.
- HIPAA Readiness — A security configuration that meets U.S. health information privacy regulations, required for handling patient data.
- MSA (Master Service Agreement) — A custom contract that sets the foundational terms of a long-term business relationship.
- Role-Based Access — The ability to give different team members different levels of permission (e.g., admin vs. regular user).
The Team Plan — A Starting Point for Groups
According to the official pricing page, the Team plan includes everything in Pro and adds an administration layer for groups. If your team has been paying for Claude individually and wants to consolidate, this is typically the first plan to evaluate.
What Team adds over Pro
- Central billing and administration: One admin manages seats and payments instead of everyone billing separately.
- Project sharing and collaboration: Projects and documents can be shared across team members.
- SSO and domain capture: Streamlines login and automatically enrolls colleagues who sign up with your company domain.
- Admin controls: Manage member permissions and connector settings from a central panel.
The Team plan does not include SCIM, audit logs, or HIPAA-ready configurations. If your organization requires those, move on to the Enterprise options below.
Team plan is a good fit when
- Your organization has fewer than 50 people.
- You need shared billing and basic SSO but don't have heavy compliance requirements.
- You want project collaboration without the overhead of a full enterprise rollout.
Enterprise Plans — Two Paths
According to the official pricing page, Enterprise comes in two flavors: self-serve (get started today without contacting sales) and sales-assisted (for tailored contracts and regulated industries).
Enterprise Self-Serve — Security features, no sales call
This path is designed for organizations that need enterprise-grade security but want to move quickly. It builds on the Team plan and adds:
- SCIM: Automated account provisioning and deprovisioning.
- Audit logs: Full usage history for security and compliance reviews.
- Advanced access controls: Role-based permissions across the organization.
- Admin controls for connectors: Administrators manage which external tools (such as MCP-based connectors) team members can connect.
- Enterprise deployment for the Claude desktop app: Centrally manage the desktop application across your organization.
Enterprise Sales-Assisted — For regulated industries and custom contracts
If your organization operates in a regulated sector — healthcare, financial services, government — or needs terms beyond standard agreements, this is the right path. Per the official pricing page, this track includes:
- HIPAA-ready environment: Security configuration for organizations handling protected health information.
- Custom contracts (MSA, PO, usage commitments): Negotiate terms, volume pricing, and product bundling directly with Anthropic's team.
- Dedicated sales support: Anthropic's team assists through onboarding and deployment.
Pricing for the sales-assisted Enterprise track depends on organization size and contract terms. Use the Contact sales option on claude.com/pricing to get a quote.
How Team and Enterprise Differ from Pro and Max
The fundamental difference is administration versus personal productivity. Pro and Max are designed to help individuals get the most out of Claude. Team and Enterprise are designed to help organizations deploy Claude securely and consistently.
- Billing: Pro and Max are billed per individual. Team and Enterprise consolidate billing at the organizational level.
- Security controls: Pro and Max have no SSO, SCIM, or audit logs. Team adds SSO. Enterprise adds SCIM, audit logs, and advanced access controls.
- Collaboration: Project features exist in Pro, but shared team projects are a formal feature from Team upward.
- Model access: Organizational plans give access to current Claude models — including Claude Opus 4.8, Sonnet 4.6, and Haiku 4.5 — consistent with Pro and Max. Verify exact model availability on the official pricing page, as this can change.
Which Plan Should You Choose? A Quick Decision Guide
- Just you, or one or two colleagues: Pro or Max individual plans are the right fit.
- Small team under 50 people, no complex compliance needs: Evaluate the Team plan first.
- Mid-to-large organization, needs SCIM and audit logs, wants to start without a sales call: Try Enterprise self-serve.
- Regulated industry (healthcare, finance, government), needs HIPAA readiness or a custom contract: Contact Anthropic's sales team through the Enterprise sales-assisted path.
How to Check Current Pricing
Team and Enterprise seat pricing can vary based on organization size and commitment terms, so it's not a single fixed number. Individual plan prices (Free at $0, Pro at $20/month, Max from $100/month) are published directly, but organizational plan pricing is best confirmed at claude.com/pricing or through the pricing quiz on that page, which recommends a plan based on your team's profile.
