c-ai.chat is an independent guide to Claude AI from Anthropic; we explain Claude, but we are not Anthropic and the official Claude product is claude.ai. We are also unrelated to Character.AI (character.ai), which is a separate conversational AI platform.

What c-ai.chat is
c-ai.chat helps readers understand Claude before they choose a plan, select a model, build with the API, or compare Claude with other tools. Anthropic builds Claude. claude.ai is the official chat app. We explain how those pieces fit together.
We write for developers, founders, marketers, students, and professionals who arrive with practical questions. Common topics include Claude pricing, model choice, features, API use, official support, and Anthropic policies.
- Independent: c-ai.chat is not owned, operated, endorsed, or sponsored by Anthropic.
- Editorial: we publish explanations, comparisons, and references. We do not provide chat access.
- Source-led: official Claude and Anthropic pages are primary sources for product facts.
- Freshness: each article carries a visible update line.
What we are not
The name c-ai.chat can be confused with two unrelated brands: Anthropic’s official Claude product (claude.ai) and the Character.AI conversational platform (character.ai). c-ai.chat is independent of both. The distinction matters.
What we can do
- Explain Claude plans, models, features, and developer options.
- Compare official information in plain language.
- Link readers to the right Anthropic or Claude source.
- Update pages when official facts change.
What we cannot do
- Sign you in to Claude or run prompts for you.
- Sell, resell, or manage Claude subscriptions or API credits.
- Handle account, billing, safety, or access issues.
- Speak for Anthropic or use Claude branding as our own.
Where to go
- Use c-ai.chat for explanations, comparisons, and learning paths.
- Use claude.ai to sign in and chat with Claude.

Our editorial standards
Trust depends on process. We summarise official material in our own words. We do not copy Anthropic documentation verbatim. We do not invent features, limits, or policies that Anthropic has not documented.
-
Verify against primary sources. Product claims are checked against official pages such as Claude pricing, Claude developer docs, Anthropic Trust, support material, and status updates.
-
Separate fact from guidance. A documented price, limit, or model name is a fact. A recommendation about which plan to choose is editorial guidance.
-
Cite the source. When a claim depends on an official policy, model page, pricing page, or developer reference, we add that source to the article.
-
Review pages after source changes. Claude plans, model names, limits, and API details can change. High-impact pages get checked first.
-
Correct mistakes openly. If a reader flags an error or a source changes, we update the page instead of leaving stale guidance in place.
Official Anthropic and Claude pages are primary sources for Claude facts. Third-party analysis can help with market context, but it does not override official documentation.
What we publish
c-ai.chat covers the questions people ask before and after using Claude. Some pages introduce Claude. Others help teams and developers make practical choices.
Pricing
For buyers comparing free, paid, team, enterprise, and API options.
- Plan differences
- Token pricing concepts
Models
For users choosing between Claude model families.
- Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku positioning
- Context, output, speed, and cost trade-offs
Features
For people using Claude across web, desktop, and mobile.
- Product features
- Workflows for documents, projects, and research
API & developer docs
For developers building with Claude.
- API setup concepts
- Caching, batching, and developer workflow guidance
We start with the practical question. A pricing page should explain who a plan fits. A model page should help readers choose a default. An API page should separate chat-app use from developer use.
How we verify facts
We keep high-impact Claude facts in an internal source file. It records source URLs, model names, plan names, prices, limits, discounts, and caveats. Writers check it before drafting or updating pages.
When Anthropic changes a plan, model, limit, or policy, we update the source file first. Then we review pages that depend on that fact.
Examples of facts we track
- Models: Opus 4.7 is $5 input and $25 output per million tokens with 1M-token context. Sonnet 4.6 is $3 input and $15 output per million tokens with 1M-token context and 128K max output. Haiku 4.5 is $1 input and $5 output per million tokens.
- Plans: Free is $0. Pro is $20/month, or $17/month with annual billing. Max starts at $100/month. Team Standard is $25/seat/month, or $20/seat/month with annual billing. Team Premium is $125/seat/month, or $100/seat/month with annual billing. Enterprise uses a $20/seat base plus API rates.
- API discounts: prompt caching gives 90% off cached input. Batch API gives 50% off input and output.
The source list at the end of each article keeps citation formatting consistent and shows which official pages support a claim. We prefer primary sources from Anthropic, Claude, the Claude API platform, the support centre, the trust centre, and the status page.
Corrections & feedback
If you see an error, outdated claim, broken link, unclear comparison, or missing caveat, email [email protected]. Include the page URL, the claim, and the official source if you have one.
We review correction requests editorially. If the report is valid, we update the page. If the issue is judgement rather than a factual error, we may add clearer wording or a caveat.
Advertising & funding
c-ai.chat may earn revenue from advertising, including Google AdSense. We may also use affiliate links. Ads and affiliate relationships do not decide which facts appear, which products we compare, or what guidance a page gives.
If a sponsorship, affiliate relationship, paid placement, or other commercial arrangement affects a page, we disclose it on that page. We keep editorial decisions separate from advertising operations. We do not accept payment to present unofficial claims as official Claude facts.
