Separate the charge from its monthly equivalent
| Plan | Charge | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pro monthly | $22/month | Monthly billing |
| Pro annual | $220/year | $18/month displayed; full year billed upfront |
| Claude Max | From $110/month | Monthly billing; choose a 5x or 20x usage tier |
These are the reference prices currently displayed by Anthropic and include 10% JCT; other regions, local currencies and mobile checkout may differ. Twelve monthly Pro payments total $264 versus $220 annually, a $44 difference. That arithmetic does not establish a cancellation refund.
Match the plan to actual use
Observe limits during your actual work. If Pro is sufficient, a larger usage multiplier alone is not a reason to upgrade; it is not a promise about speed, answer quality or earnings. Annual subscribers should check how remaining value is handled before moving to Max.
Pro includes Claude Code access, while Claude Console API usage is billed separately. Confirm whether your purchase is for an account subscription or developer API usage.
Compare the complete RMB order
For a foreign-currency order, use its actual currency, taxes, settlement rate and disclosed fees. Do not apply one assumed card fee to every bank. Compare a Subly RMB total over the same duration instead of treating a dollar conversion as its selling price.
The Subly catalog checked for this update lists Claude Max 5x and Max 20x, not Pro. Readers seeking Pro should check the official offering. An article about a plan is not proof that Subly sells it; recheck the catalog before paying.
Common questions
Is the $110 starting price for Max an annual equivalent?
No. Claude Max starts at $110 per month and is billed monthly, with 5x and 20x usage tiers. Confirm the final amount in your own checkout.
Why does the annual offer show $18 per month but charge $220?
The annual discount is shown as a monthly equivalent, while the full year is billed upfront. Budget for the $220 annual charge.
