How access works
The Free plan is a limited assistant route
Anthropic lists Claude Free at $0 for occasional use. The available models, features, and capacity can vary over time and by demand.
Limits and charges
Capacity is not a fixed message count
Usage limits vary and can depend on demand and the work being done.
Your data and account
Review current model-improvement settings
Check Anthropic's current privacy policy, consumer account settings, and model-improvement choices before uploading private documents or conversations.
Before relying on it
Plan for a limit arriving mid-task
The Free plan is for limited or occasional use, not guaranteed capacity. Keep source material and finished work outside the account and check important outputs before relying on them. Keep the original files, working notes, prompts, and final output outside Claude, and have another route for work that cannot wait for capacity to reset.
