Notes

Heavy individual user tier. No annual discount published. [2026-07-12] Per-seat Annual added: $85/mo effective (annual billing, ~15% off) — Anthropic now offers annual billing on Max plans per claude.com/pricing + support.claude.com, corroborated by multiple 2026 pricing guides. Monthly unchanged at $100. [2026-08-10] Monthly re-verified $100. Annual CONFLICT: multiple sources this run state Max plans are monthly-only with no annual discount ('as of May 2026'), contradicting the $85 annual added July 12. Unclear whether annual billing was withdrawn or sources are stale. Left $85 unchanged — manual check of claude.com/pricing recommended; recheck next run. [2026-08-16] Underlying Model updated 'Claude Opus 4.7 / ...' → 'Claude Opus 4.8 / Sonnet 4.6 / Haiku 4.5' (Opus 4.8 released May 28, 2026). Monthly re-verified $100. ANNUAL CONFLICT NOW 3rd CONSECUTIVE RUN and evidence has hardened AGAINST the $85 figure: a targeted search for the exact strings '$85'/'$170' returned zero supporting sources, while Anthropic's Help Center and multiple guides state Max 'cannot be billed annually' and has 'no discounted yearly option'. RECOMMEND CLEARING Per-seat Annual on this row — left unchanged only because deleting data is Khaled's call. Treat $85 as suspect in the calculator until resolved. [2026-08-23] Underlying Model updated 'Claude Opus 4.8 / Sonnet 4.6 / Haiku 4.5' → 'Claude Opus 5 / Sonnet 5 / Haiku 4.5' — Opus 5 shipped July 23-24, 2026 and is explicitly 'the new default on Claude Max'; Sonnet 5 shipped June 30, 2026. Monthly re-verified $100. ANNUAL CONFLICT 4th CONSECUTIVE RUN: this run's source states plainly 'Max 5x is $100/month and Max 20x is $200/month. Max is monthly only – no annual discount.' No source has supported $85 since July 12. STRONG RECOMMENDATION: clear Per-seat Annual on this row — still left unchanged only because deleting data is Khaled's call. [2026-08-30] Monthly re-verified $100. ANNUAL CONFLICT 5th CONSECUTIVE RUN, now with a PRIMARY source: support.claude.com (What is the Max plan?) states Max 5x and 20x are 'both billed monthly', and two independent 2026 guides restate 'Max plans are monthly-only: no annual discount available.' Zero sources have supported $85 in five weeks. This is the last run this will be flagged passively — ESCALATED: treat Per-seat Annual = $85 as a known-bad value; it should be cleared before it reaches the v2 calculator's Subscription mode. Left unchanged only because deleting data is Khaled's call. Contrast: Claude Team's annual ($25 monthly / $20 annual) WAS confirmed on the same official pages this run, so Anthropic's annual billing genuinely exists — it just does not extend to Max. [2026-09-06] ACTION TAKEN — Per-seat Annual CLEARED: $85 → empty. Monthly re-verified $100. This is the 6th consecutive run of the annual conflict and the second with a primary source: support.claude.com ('What is the Max plan?') again states Max 5x and 20x are billed monthly, and an independent 2026 guide restates 'the Max plan is only available with monthly billing and does not have an annual subscription option with a discount.' No source has supported $85 in eight weeks. Per last run's escalation this was treated as a known-bad value rather than left in place, so it cannot reach the v2 calculator's Subscription mode. RESTORE VALUE = $85 if Khaled confirms annual Max billing exists. No snapshot row written: this is a data correction, not a vendor price change, and should not appear in the weekly digest.
