Founder's Verdict

"The best writer and the best coder of the big assistants. Pro at $20 a month includes Claude Code, which makes it the obvious pick if you write software or long documents."

Claude

Claude is Anthropic’s assistant, available on the web, as desktop apps and on iOS and Android. The models come in tiers: Haiku (fast), Sonnet (balanced), Opus (most capable for everyday heavy work) and Fable (Anthropic’s top model, available on higher plans).

What it does now

  • Web search, file creation, code execution and Artifacts: Claude can build documents, charts and small apps you can use straight away.
  • Research for multi-step, cited investigations (Pro and above).
  • Memory, projects and connectors to bring in your own tools and data.
  • Claude Code, Anthropic’s agentic coding tool, included from Pro up.
  • Claude in Chrome, Claude for Microsoft 365, Claude Dashboards (beta), and task handoff and scheduling on paid plans.
  • Voice mode on every plan, including Free.
