Anthropic Claude Code Doubles in Price: Developer Daily Cost Rises from $6 to $13

Anthropic recently doubled the token cost of Claude Code quietly without an announcement. According to the latest official website info, the average daily cost per developer in enterprise deployments is about $13, with 90% of users paying less than $30 daily; archive data before April 16 showed the previous estimate was $6 per day, with 90% under $12.

Claude Code is an AI programming assistant by Anthropic, charged by token consumption. This price adjustment reflects the industry trend of rising AI usage costs. Last week, the feature caused user dissatisfaction when removed from Pro users' available list; the company said it was a test adjustment for 2% of new users. Anthropic's growth head stated existing subscription plans don't fit current usage intensity as user engagement has risen sharply, requiring adjustments to cope with changes.
