Starting July 20 — today — Claude Max and Team Premium members will continue to have Fable 5 included in their subscription plans, at up to 50 percent of their weekly usage limits. Claude Max plans start at $100 a month (going up to $200/month), while Team Premium plans go for $100/month per seat. But the story changes for Claude Pro ($20 a month) and Claude Team Standard ($20/month per seat) plans. Strictly speaking, those tiers will still get Fable access, but only via usage credits, which cost roughly as much as paying per token via the Anthropic API. Anthropic’s revamped Fable access policies say a lot about how the big AI providers will be handling their flat-rate subscription plans moving ahead.
