Overview
- Anthropic began showing rupee‑denominated prices for Claude Pro, Claude Max (5x and 20x) and Team plans on July 13–14, with the free tier remaining available.
- Listed India prices include GST and remove direct dollar billing and forex conversion charges, but payments currently require card or Apple/Google app‑store billing because UPI support is not yet available.
- Entry Pro pricing appears at about ₹2,000 per month on annual billing (₹2,399 monthly), while Max starts at ₹11,999 and ₹23,999 for higher tiers and Team seats begin near ₹2,399 per user on annual plans.
- India prices convert to higher dollar‑equivalent rates than U.S. listings, and mobile app prices may differ slightly from web listings, leaving some cost and checkout friction compared with rivals that already offer UPI and lower entry tiers.
- The pricing launch follows Anthropic’s India build‑out — a Bengaluru office, the hiring of Irina Ghose and partnerships with Infosys and TCS — and comes as earlier model access limits and a recent lawsuit over Max usage remain part of the company’s regulatory and commercial backdrop.
