| Which plan to pick | If you already pay for Claude Pro, you have it. If not, try Design on the Free plan and move to Pro when the daily limits get in the way, which happens quickly once you're iterating on a deck. Team makes sense when several people need the same brand setup. | Use Free for social posts and quick checks. If you need the cleaned photo for print, a listing or a website hero, Pro is cheap enough to pay for a month when you need it. | Start on Starter if it is just you. Move to Professional when you have a developer or second designer involved, and put them on a cheaper dev or collab seat rather than a full seat. Organization and Enterprise are for companies, not small businesses. |
