Claude pricing for UK businesses
Anthropic sells Claude in three ways: individual plans, a Team plan for groups of 2 to 150 people, and an Enterprise plan that combines a seat fee with usage billed at API rates. Developers can also call the models directly through the API and pay per token.
Prices are listed in US dollars. We show each one as listed, with an approximate sterling figure at the exchange rate and date shown.

How the enterprise contract works
Claude Enterprise is billed annually and has two parts: a fixed fee per seat, and usage charged at API rates for the models people use. The seat fee is predictable; the usage line depends on how much work people send to Claude and which models they choose, so the total is not known until you have a few months of usage data.
Enterprise adds the controls a security team will ask for: SCIM provisioning, role-based access, audit logs, a compliance API and custom data retention. It can be bought self-serve or through Anthropic’s sales team, and invoicing on net terms is only available through sales.

Which plan for a 50, 200 and 1,000-person firm
50-person firm
Team, standard seat
Team covers 2 to 150 people and brings single sign-on, central billing and no training on your content by default. Add premium seats only for the few people who hit the usage limits.
50 seats at $20 a month, billed annually: $12,000 a yearabout £9,038 at $1 = £0.7532 on 23 September 2026List price, checked on 23 September 2026.
200-person firm
Enterprise
Team stops at 150 people, so a 200-person rollout lands on Enterprise. The figure below is the seat fee alone: usage at API rates comes on top, and it is the line to forecast.
200 seats at $20 a month, billed annually, plus usage at API rates: $48,000 a yearabout £36,154 at $1 = £0.7532 on 23 September 2026List price, checked on 23 September 2026.
1,000-person firm
Enterprise
At this size the usage line usually outweighs the seat fee. Ask for usage reporting by team and set spend limits before the rollout, not after the first invoice.
1,000 seats at $20 a month, billed annually, plus usage at API rates: $240,000 a yearabout £180,768 at $1 = £0.7532 on 23 September 2026List price, checked on 23 September 2026.
