Anthropic does unethical "tests" where it hides price options from new signups.

What's Wrong?

Earlier that evening, developer George Pu flagged that Claude Code had quietly vanished from the Pro and Free columns on Anthropic's pricing page—no announcement, just a silent edit. The implication was stark: users would need the $100-a-month Max plan to keep using it, a fivefold jump from Pro's $20. The backlash was instant. Avasare stepped in to clarify it was a limited test affecting roughly 2% of new signups, with existing subscribers untouched. He also got candid about why Anthropic is even poking at its pricing structure: when Max launched a year ago, Claude Code wasn't bundled in, Cowork didn't exist, and multi-hour AI agents weren't a daily workflow. They are now. "Our current plans weren't built for this," he wrote.

What Should Happen?

Don't hide prices, this should be illegal.
