Claude subscription plans

Anthropic's consumer plans are Claude Pro at $20/month (or discounted annually) and Claude Max at $100/month or $200/month for heavier users. Prices are in USD, so UK and other non-US customers may also see a currency-conversion element and the amount may vary slightly month to month with exchange rates. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled.

Why it might appear unexpectedly

Examples include a subscription you signed up for and forgot, an annual plan renewing a year later, or a household member using your card. Note that if you subscribed to Claude through the Apple App Store or Google Play rather than directly on the website, the charge may instead appear under Apple or Google's billing descriptor.

How to confirm and cancel it

Sign in at claude.ai, open Settings, then Billing, and select Manage subscription — this shows your current plan, price, and renewal date, confirming whether the charge is yours. To cancel, choose the cancel option there; access continues to the end of the current billing period and your chats and projects stay with your account. If you subscribed via Apple or Google, you must cancel through that platform's subscriptions settings instead.

Contacting Anthropic

If your billing page shows no active plan matching the charge, or you've never used Claude, contact Anthropic support with the date and amount.
