[Feature] Mid-tier subscription plan (~$40-50/mo) between Pro and Max
Preflight Checklist
- [ ] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
The current pricing jump from Pro ($17/mo) to Max ($100/mo) is too steep for
power users who need more than Pro but don't require enterprise-level usage.
As a developer working on multiple active projects simultaneously (3 projects
in parallel), I consistently hit Pro usage limits within an hour, forcing me
to wait for the 5-hour reset. Upgrading to Max at $100/mo is not justified
for individual developers with moderate-to-heavy usage.
Proposed Solution
A mid-tier plan at approximately $40–50/mo with a usage quota between Pro
and Max. Something like:
| Plan | Price | Usage |
|---------|---------|------------|
| Pro | $17/mo | Current |
| Pro+| $45/mo | ~3-4x Pro |
| Max | $100/mo | Current |
Who this helps
- Solo developers and freelancers juggling multiple projects
- Power users who work with Claude Code across several repos simultaneously
- Users on Pro who are frequently rate-limited but can't justify $100/mo
Why it matters
Right now the choice is binary: either accept constant interruptions on Pro,
or pay 6x more for Max. A middle tier would retain users who are otherwise
likely to reduce their usage or cancel.
