Editorial Review

Claude remains the default recommendation when writing quality, long documents, or agentic coding matter. Pro is $20/mo ($17/mo billed annually) and now includes Claude Code, Cowork, and Research — not just a bigger chat box. Max at $100 or $200/mo is the plan for people who run Claude Code all day. The 1M-token context on current Opus models is the real differentiator for codebase and research work. Image generation is still not a Claude strength; pair it with a dedicated image tool if that's the job. For most knowledge-work teams, Pro is the honest starting point, with Max only when you are actually hitting session caps.
