Claude Free Tier

How Amo and Pimi look
免費版最讓人抓狂的是額度規則——它是滾動式 5 小時窗,不是每天歸零,用完 10-20 則就得乾等,而且免費版根本不含 Claude Code。付費方案更誇張,Pro、Max 5x、Max 20x、Team Standard、Team Premium、Enterprise 六檔疊在一起,Team Premium 年繳還要 US$100/席/月。最扯的是 Max 20x 官網頁面只寫「Starting at US$100」,跟 5x 顯示一模一樣,我們查了十幾次都沒辦法從頁面文字確認實際價差在哪——這種不透明很扣分。
Six tiers is a bit much, sure, but don't forget its long-form handling and writing quality are widely recognized strengths, Chinese support is full, and you can pay directly with a credit card. Pro billed annually works out to about US$17/month — the writing quality really is better than competitors at the same price point. The paid plan includes the Claude Code engineering tool, which is extra value for developers — Amo, you were so busy complaining the free version doesn't have it that you forgot the paid version actually gives you a lot. The Team plan works for 2–150 people, and annual billing brings Standard down to US$20/seat, which isn't a high bar. Plus in May 2026 they permanently doubled the paid-plan quota — the free tier doesn't get it, but paid users genuinely benefit.
So, do you need to pay or not?
For long-form writing and content creation: Pro at US$20/month is worth it. Free-tier users should be prepared — once the rolling quota runs out, you have to wait, and there's no Claude Code. For team use, annual billing is recommended to save 20%.
