How to choose

Start with the mid-tier plan for a month — upgrade only if you keep hitting the limits. Claude Pro covers daily writing and moderate coding. If you hit limits with Claude Code every day, Max 5x is the next step, and Max 20x is for full-time agentic coding.

Our verdict

Start with Claude Pro; move to Max only when usage limits slow you down.
