How to pay for Claude

A Claude web subscription, paid-plan checks and billing management.

Updated

Before paying

Use Universal+ for this subscription: Universal does not support ChatGPT or Claude. Availability also depends on country, account and merchant rules.

Check the card balance allowing for fees, conversion and verification charges. Use Card Details for the number, expiry and CVV, and SafePay Billing for the holder name and address. Keep the service profile information accurate.

Complete checkout

  1. Sign in to claude.ai with the account that needs the subscription. Choose an available paid plan and billing period.
  2. In the web checkout, add Universal+ using your card details and billing information from SafePay.
  3. Complete any issuer confirmation. After checkout, open Settings → Billing and check the plan and receipt.

Optional: iPhone App Store purchase

Some Claude plans may be offered as Apple in-app purchases, depending on account, plan and country. In the official Claude app, sign in to the intended account, open the offered upgrade menu and confirm the plan only if Apple’s purchase sheet is presented. The payment card must be eligible and saved to Apple Account → Payment & Shipping, not merely in Apple Wallet.

Before buying, check whether Claude is already active through a website or another store. Apple-billed subscriptions are managed through the iPhone’s Subscriptions settings; website billing remains in Claude’s billing settings. Anthropic API billing is separate from Claude app subscriptions.

After confirmation

Billing lets you update the card and view web-subscription invoices. If purchased on iOS or Android, billing is managed by the App Store or Google Play. Anthropic API access is billed separately.

If a 3D Secure request appears, complete the confirmation shown in SafePay, then return to the merchant. Do not pay again while the result is pending. For an error, keep its text, time and amount.
