API / token-based usage

If you use Claude Code via the API or deploy models directly:

  • Model example: Sonnet 4.5: Input $3 per million tokens, Output $15 per million tokens.

  • Model example: Opus 4.1: Input $15 per million tokens, Output $75 per million tokens.

  • There are also “batch processing” rates (discounted) for large-scale jobs.

  • According to docs: many developers average ~$6 per developer per day, and ~$100-200/month for typical usage with Sonnet 4.5.


Key take-aways

  • If you’re a solo developer doing moderate coding work: the Pro plan at ~$17–20/month may suffice.

  • If you have heavier usage (large codebases, frequent sessions) or want priority model access: Max tiers ($100–200/month) may be required.

  • If using the API / direct model usage for high volume: costs vary significantly based on model and token usage (so usage tracking is important).

  • There are some “hidden” usage limits even on subscription plans (for example usage caps, cooldowns) as reported by users.
