Claude Code: Anthropic's Pro Plan A/B Testing

Why is Claude Code missing from the Claude Pro pricing page...for some people? See what's happening with Anthropic's current pricing experiment. Many have reported that the Claude Code feature has vanished from the $20/month Pro tier, leaving it locked behind the $100/month Max plan. Anthropic claims it’s just a small A/B test for 2% of new signups. However, the feedback from the community suggests otherwise. The Claude Pricing Check: - Incognito Check: Open the pricing page (claude.com/pricing) in an incognito window to see which version of the truth you are being shown. - Verify Before Buying: Look specifically at the Pro column. If "Includes Claude Code" isn't listed, you are part of the test group. - Existing User Safety: Current Pro and Max subscribers should still have access. This primarily targets new "pro-sumer" signups. My thoughts: - Claude is already unmatched for complex coding but extremely unforgiving for beginners. - This pricing situation adds another layer of friction. - Anthropic hasn't been clear if they are actually removing the feature from the account or just the marketing page. - This kind of A/B testing on core features usually leads to massive workflow friction and community backlash. ✨ Join the cohort at the next NotebookLM Masterclass → https://maven.com/thoughts-brewing-llc/learn-notebooklm-in-a-weekend-2-cohort 🌟 Share an AI tool you want us to test for a future video: https://thoughtsbrewing.com/en-us/youtube-video-request-page?utm_source=youtube #ClaudeCode #Anthropic #AIUpdate #AIQuickTips #ThoughtsBrewing ➡️ Next-Level AI Workshops: https://thoughtsbrewing.com/en-us/next-level-ai-workshops?utm_source=youtube ➡️ SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@thoughtsbrewingllc ➡️ Read the blog: https://thoughtsbrewing.com/en-us/blog-subscription?utm_source=youtube Timestamps 0:00 - What's going on with Claude Code and the Pro Plan? 1:08 - What is Anthropic's official response to the backlash?
