Notes

Free tier on claude.ai. Limited daily messages. Useful as a $0 baseline in calculator scenarios. [2026-08-23] Underlying Model updated 'Claude Sonnet 4.6 (limited)' → 'Claude Sonnet 5 (limited) + Haiku 4.5' — Sonnet 5 became the default model for Free and Pro users on July 1, 2026 (shipped June 30 per anthropic.com/news/claude-sonnet-5), corroborated across multiple 2026 sources; Free also retains Haiku 4.5 and has no Opus 5 access. Price re-verified $0. Note: Anthropic reduced Free 5-hour limits during weekday peak hours (5-11am PT) from March 2026; limits remain unpublished (~15-40 messages/5h per third-party estimates), so Usage Cap left empty.
