Which plan to pickIf 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.An individual should take Professional: the free redo is worth the extra $10 over Basic. Companies should use the Team plan, where credits never expire and the per-person price drops as you buy more.There's nothing to buy for the names themselves. If you want a logo for the name you pick, Brandmark sells one-off logo packages from $35, but you can take the name anywhere.
