Anthropic decided to release a premium version of its Claude 2 AI after the company noticed that Claude 2 became very popular among AI users everywhere.

Since launching in July, users tell us they’ve chosen Claude.ai as their day-to-day AI assistant for its longer context windows, faster outputs, complex reasoning capabilities, and more. Many also shared that they would value more file uploads and conversations over longer periods.

While the free version of the Claude 2 AI will still be there for you, to use whenever you want, Claude Pro offers more usage for a longer time, and you can access it anytime you want.

Claude Pro to compete with ChatGPT Plus?

Well, it’s safe to say that there will be discussions about it, and by the way it’s looking now, Anthropic seems to take out on OpenAI’s ChatGPT Plus.

If we are to compare prices, the two AI models offer services at the same price, which is $20, in the US region.

When it comes to features, it might seem that Claude Pro is the winner:

Model	Claude Pro	ChatGPT Plus
Features	1. 5x more usage than our free tier provides, with the ability to send many more messages 2. Priority access to Claude.ai during high-traffic periods 3. Early access to new features that help you get the most out of Claude	1. General access to ChatGPT, even during peak times 2. Faster response times 3. Priority access to new features and improvements

However, you should know that Claude Pro comes with limits. According to Anthropic, you send at least 100 messages every 8 hours, if your conversation are short. The longer they are, the faster your limit gets used up.

But don’t worry, though. Claude Pro will provide you with a warning before you have 10 messages remaining.

Anthropic says this is necessary if they are to keep the free version of Claude 2 available to people everywhere.

We set these limits to ensure Claude can be made available to many people to try for free, while allowing power users to integrate Claude into their daily workflows.
