Do Claude prices include tax?
In the US, claude.com says its prices do not include applicable tax. Anthropic calculates tax from your payment method's billing address and says some regions include tax in the displayed price while others add it at checkout. Apple shows App Store prices with tax included everywhere except the US and Canada. Our table labels every price with its tax basis.

Is there an annual Claude plan?
Yes, for Pro only. It is billed once a year at a discounted rate, and you can switch from monthly at any time with your unused time credited. Max 5x and Max 20x are billed monthly only. Apple's App Store listing for Claude also has a yearly Pro subscription (seen in the US, UK, Indian, Australian and Canadian storefront catalogs on 24 October 2026).

What is the difference between Pro and Max?
Max gives five or twenty times Pro's usage per five-hour session, higher output limits, priority access at busy times and monthly API credits. Every paid plan also has a weekly limit, and your use on web, desktop, mobile and Claude Code all draws from the same pool.

Should I subscribe on the web or in the app?
Compare the prices first: Anthropic's Max prices are for web subscriptions, and mobile pricing may vary. On the web you pay by credit or debit card; in the apps, Apple or Google handle payment and receipts. Promotions do not apply to app store subscriptions, and moving from an app store subscription to the web means cancelling and resubscribing after the current term ends.

How do I cancel Claude Pro or Max?
On the web or the desktop app, go to Settings, then Billing, and click Cancel. If you subscribed in the iPhone or Android app, use Billing, then Manage subscription in the app, or your Apple or Google Play account. Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal; your plan stays active until the period ends, then your account moves to Free.
