What happened

Between the Sep 16, 2026 and Sep 17, 2026 captures of Anthropic's pricing page, Pulse recorded 3 changes: Context window for Free, Pro, and Max plans increased from a flat 200k to 'Up to 1M, varies by model'; the Free tier also newly gained access to Projects (up to 5), previously unavailable; New site banner announces plan changes rolling out to Pro and Max; 'Claude Cowork' was removed as a standalone comparison-table feature row, and Max 5x/20x lost the annual billing option (monthly only now); Pr. In detail: Pro's tagline changed to 'For everyday work' and Max's to 'For people who work with Claude all day'; Pro also gained task hand-off/scheduling and a Design+Slides+Docs bundle. Pulse files it as a packaging change (positioning, limit increase, package change) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 12, 2026) lists Pro at $17, Enterprise (self-serve) at $20, Team (Standard seat) at $20, Max 5x at $100 and Team (Premium seat) at $100.

It lands 56 days after Anthropic's previous change, "Anthropic: Fable model + context window disclosed in comparison table" (Jul 23, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Anthropic launches Sonnet 5, cuts price to $2/$10 per MTok through Aug 31" (Jul 6, 2026), "Anthropic adds Claude AI to all consumer plan tiers" (Jun 29, 2026) and "Anthropic API: Fast mode for Opus 4.8 + Managed Agents pricing added" (Jul 2, 2026). Anthropic has been tracked since 2024-11-17.

In the same window OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Scale and X also changed their AI & Machine Learning pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
