Claude.ai paid plans and the Anthropic API Console are separate products designed for different purposes:
Claude.ai paid plans are for individuals on claude.ai, offering enhanced features like more usage and priority access during high-traffic periods.
The Anthropic API Console is our developer platform providing API access to Claude models for building applications and integrations.
Your Claude subscription enhances your chat experience but doesn't include API usage through the Console.
If you're interested in both enhanced chat features on claude.ai and API access, you'll need to subscribe to a paid plan on claude.ai and separately set up Console access for API usage. This allows you to benefit from both offerings based on your specific needs.
