Does Claude have a family plan?

No. Anthropic sells Claude to one person at a time, or to businesses (Team covers 2 to 150 people). Here is what each route costs a household, why the Team plan rarely fits one, what goes wrong on a shared login, and what Apple's Family Sharing covers.

This page is for whoever pays the household's subscriptions and has been asked whether the rest of the family can "just use your Claude." Every Anthropic price, rule and quote below was read on Anthropic's own pages on October 5, 2026, and the pricing page, Consumer Terms and Team plan articles again on November 6, 2026. It was written by Equerry, a personal assistant app with a family subscription of its own (described near the end), which is not affiliated with Anthropic.

The short answer, from Anthropic's own pages

Claude's pricing page has three tabs, and two of them matter here (the third, API, is for developers). Individual lists Free, Pro, Max and, since November 2026, Ultra. Team & Enterprise lists a Team plan "For teams of 2 to 150" and Enterprise "For large businesses operating at scale." Nothing is sold to a family or a couple, and the pricing FAQ doesn't mention one. People do want it: on October 4, 2026 the top Google result for this search was a Reddit thread titled "Please Anthropic, make a family plan."

That leaves four honest routes: an account for each adult, a gift subscription you pay for, Team if you qualify, or Free. Sharing one paid login is the route the terms rule out.

Is there an Anthropic family plan?

Same question, other name: Anthropic is the company, Claude is the product, and the only price list is Anthropic's own at claude.com/pricing. We re-read it on November 6, 2026. The page has three tabs, "Individual," "Team & Enterprise" and "API." Under Individual it sells Free ("$0", "Free for everyone"), Pro ("$17" "Per month with annual subscription discount ($200 billed up front). $20 if billed monthly."), Max ("$100" "Per month") and a plan that wasn't there in October, Ultra ("$200" "Per month"). The Team & Enterprise tab is as quoted above. The words "family" and "household" don't appear anywhere on the page, and no plan on it is priced for more than one person unless each of them holds a seat. Anthropic's help center says the same of Team: "Team plans require a minimum of two members and are not intended for individual use." So there is no Anthropic family plan under that name or any other, and the household options below are unchanged since October.

Pricing Claude for two or four adults

US prices before tax, from claude.com/pricing and the US App Store, read October 5, 2026 and re-checked November 6, 2026:

No individual plan discounts a second person, so four adults pay four times. Where you buy matters too: a year of Pro is $200 on Anthropic's website and $214.99 in the iPhone app. Usage is per account. The pricing page's FAQ says limits "reset on a rolling five-hour session window, and paid plans add weekly limits on top." On Team, Anthropic's help article "What is the Team plan?" says limits are "per-member, rather than applied to the team as a whole."

The Team plan looks like the answer. Read the sign-up rules first

Team is the only Claude plan with several people on one bill, so families find it quickly. Anthropic's help center describes a workspace for an organization, and three details decide whether a household can use it:

• A business email to start it. "The account creator must use a business email address. Public domains like @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, and @hotmail.com aren't allowed." Members need an address on one of the organization's allowed domains. Anthropic says public domains such as Gmail can be added as permitted domains for other members, but the person who creates the Team still needs a business address. Unless someone in the house owns a domain, it stops here. Anthropic also says Team plans "are not intended for individual use."
• One adult can export everyone's chats. The Primary Owner "manages your Work account and all associated data," including data exports that "may contain your conversations with Claude, uploaded files, and usage patterns." Incognito chats "remain available to owners through data export." Between colleagues that is normal. Between partners, or a parent and a grown-up child, say it out loud before anyone signs up.
• Different terms. Anthropic says its Consumer Terms and Privacy Policy "do not apply to the use of the Claude for Work plan where Anthropic acts as the data processor." Memory starts off for each member until they turn it on.

What Team adds is shared Projects: the pricing comparison marks "Project sharing and collaboration" as "No" on Free, Pro and Max.

Passing one login around the house

One Pro account with the password on the fridge looks cheapest. Anthropic's Consumer Terms rule it out: "You may not share your Account login information, Anthropic API key, or Account credentials with anyone else or make your Account available to anyone else. You are responsible for all activity occurring under your Account." It also works badly, because Claude is built to learn one person:

• It remembers whoever is typing. Memory is "on by default for Free, Pro, and Max plans," and Claude "saves memory as a set of individual topics as you chat." Your partner's job search and your own holiday plans land in one memory, with no way for Claude to tell who said what. More in Does Claude have memory?
• Everyone can read everything. The chat list, the Projects and Settings > Memory are visible to anyone signed in, and on paid plans Claude can search past chats when asked.
• One pool of usage. One five-hour window and one weekly limit for everyone on the login.

Three ways to share Claude without sharing an account

Asked the other way round, "Can I share my Claude subscription with my family?" and "Does Claude have a family subscription?" get the same answer: a Claude subscription is attached to one account, there is no family version of it, and the Consumer Terms (effective October 8, 2025, re-read November 6, 2026) still say you may not "make your Account available to anyone else." What you can do is pay for someone else's account, show them a chat, or let the light users stay on Free.

Gift someone their own account. Anthropic sells gift subscriptions "to friends, family, or colleagues" (help center, April 29, 2026). On Pro or Max, click your initials in the lower left corner, choose "Gift Claude," pick Pro, Max 5x or Max 20x for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months, and send it by email or link. The recipient redeems it at claude.ai/gift/redeem within 365 days, with no credit card. Free users and Team members can't buy gifts. A recipient who already pays for Claude through the iPhone or Android app has to wait until that subscription ends before redeeming.

Share a conversation. Comparing mortgage offers together doesn't need one login. On claude.ai, open the chat, choose "Share," and enter the other person's email under "People with access." Invited people "can view a snapshot of the chat but can't reply, copy it into their own account, or continue the conversation," and "A free account is enough to view the chat" (help center, September 4, 2026).

Free for the occasional users. Free includes chat on web, desktop and mobile, web search, memory and up to five Projects. The person who uses Claude daily takes Pro; the others move up only if they keep hitting the limit.

Claude bought on iPhone: does Apple Family Sharing cover it?

Apple says "Not all subscriptions and in-app purchases can be shared" and "App developers determine if an app can be shared within Family Sharing." For Claude we found no source that says it can:

• Apple's test is the App Store page: "If Family Sharing is listed" in the Supports section, "then the app can be shared." Claude's US listing, read October 5, 2026, doesn't list it.
• No Anthropic help article we found says a Claude subscription can be shared through Family Sharing. The one that mentions Family Sharing is about a parent setting a child's age.
• Claude is rated 18+, so children in a family group couldn't use it either way.

The certain answer is on your iPhone. Apple's iPhone User Guide (iOS 26 and iOS 27): open Settings, tap Family, tap Subscriptions, tap Manage Subscriptions, then tap the subscription. "If you don't see Share with Family, the subscription isn't eligible for sharing."

To set up Family Sharing first, Apple's steps (published September 14, 2026) are: in Settings, tap your name, tap Family, then tap Continue and invite your family. With Purchase Sharing on, the organizer pays for family members' purchases by default.

Assistants that do sell one plan for a household

Each line uses only the vendor's own page, read October 5, 2026 (Claude re-read November 6, 2026):

They aren't the same kind of product. Google's family plan shares a chatbot and cloud storage. Equerry keeps each adult's own paperwork and messages, privately.

Equerry: six adults on one subscription, each with their own assistant

Equerry does a different job from Claude. You send it the emails, papers and notes that run the house, and it answers from them later; for drafting and brainstorming, Claude is still the tool. Each adult keeps their own:

• Email threads they choose. Each person has their own Equerry email address. CC it on a thread with the landlord, the school or the builder, and replies that keep the address on the thread keep arriving; forward a thread and Equerry gets it as it stands. It never asks for your inbox, and the original stays in your own mailbox. What Equerry remembered from it is listed in Settings → Your memory, each line marked as from that email, and you can delete any line.
• Papers and photos. From the iPhone share sheet: a PDF of the insurance renewal, a photo of a receipt, a link or some text.
• Notes and voice notes. Type a note, or record a voice note in Equerry after the plumber leaves. When an answer draws on a note you saved, it carries a source chip: tap it to see the passage Equerry used and open the original.
• Questions later. "When does the car insurance renew, and what did they quote last year?" is answered from what that person sent.

For the person who pays the household's insurance, here is what using it looks like:

How the family subscription works. Equerry Pro supports Apple Family Sharing: the organizer plus up to five family members, six people on one subscription. Each person has their own Equerry. Whatever someone saves, from PDFs and photos to voice notes, is kept in that person's own iCloud account, and their email address, chats and Routines belong to them. The organizer pays for the plan but can't open a partner's or a grown-up child's saved items, and no one else in the group can either. The group shares one monthly usage limit, which refills each month. Like Claude, Equerry requires users to be 18 or older, so the plan is for the adults in the house.

Pro is $39.99 a month or $329 a year on the US App Store; shared six ways, the yearly plan is about $4.57 a month each. Apple says eligible subscriptions are shared with your family automatically; to confirm, follow the Apple steps above and check that Share with Family is on for the Equerry subscription. What anyone sends is processed to make it searchable and answerable, including by the outside providers named on our AI disclosure page.
