- Opus is the default on Claude Max and the strongest model on Claude Pro
- Paid seats include Claude Code, Cowork, Design, and Science on the same usage pool
- Pro still has a yearly option, which some other services do not
Cons
- Fable on Pro is usage-credit limited; Max keeps Fable at 50% of weekly limits
- Individual plans stay at a 200k context window
- Fable can fall back to an Opus model on flagged cyber or biology prompts
- A variant of Fable (fewer safeguards) is not on claude.com

Is Claude worth the price?
The current product is Fable 5 plus Opus 5, not Opus 4.6.
Pro at $20 (or $200/year) is the everyday seat and includes Claude Code. Max from $100 is how you buy Opus 5 as the default and more headroom.
Fable 5 on Pro is credit-limited; treat heavy Fable use as a Max job.
Hidden Costs & Gotchas
Fable 5 on Pro is usage credits, not unlimited frontier access.
Max still caps Fable 5 at 50% of weekly limits.
Enterprise is $20/seat plus API-rate usage, so the seat price is not the bill.
