| 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. | 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. | Standard is the sweet spot: three dollars more than Basic gets you more than three times the photos. Move to Professional or Enterprise only if you stage several listings a week. The vendor says yearly billing saves more, so check both options at checkout. |
