AI tool deals and free credits

Anthropic gave every Claude Pro, Max, Ultra, and Team user one free full reset across all models and limits. You can use it anytime before December 10 at 2:00 pm PT.

Claude Fable 5.2 is out, and from November 9 to November 16 Pro plans and standard Team seats can run Fable on their regular plan limits, up to half of weekly usage, plus one free Fable reset. Max and Ultra subscribers get one to three Fable resets based on how long they've subscribed.

Once Claude Pro and Max users have the new projects, creating a project lets Claude set it up automatically, and up to $100 of initial usage, setup included, doesn't count toward your plan's usage limits. The credit lasts 24 hours from project creation, then usage counts as normal.

US Claude Pro and Max subscribers can join the Claude Duet waitlist. Once you're admitted, the new proactive agent app is included in your plan at no extra cost during the research preview, and you get one full usage limit reset for both your five-hour and weekly limits.

Claude Enterprise organizations get up to $25,000 a month in free Claude Security usage credits for two months. No sign-up needed: the credits apply automatically to the new Claude Security, through December 31, 2026.

Claude's Guest Pass invites are no longer just for Max. Eligible Pro subscribers can share them too. Anyone who has never paid for a Claude plan can open the link and get 7 days of Claude Pro free, including Claude Code, Cowork and Claude Design. You add a payment method when you claim it, and the trial turns into a $20/month Pro plan unless you cancel before day 7.

Anthropic's Claude for Open Source program gives approved open-source maintainers and active contributors 6 months of Claude Ultra for free. Ultra is the new name for Max 20x; it normally costs $200 a month and includes Claude Code. Meet any one of five thresholds and apply with your GitHub account; the program has up to 10,000 spots.

Claude Max and Team subscriptions now come with monthly API credits for the Claude Platform. Max (formerly Max 5x) gets $100 a month, Ultra (formerly Max 20x) gets $200, and Team plans get up to $500 a month pooled across seats. Link a Console organization from your billing settings on claude.ai and the credits arrive every month, usable on any Claude model with no card required.

Anthropic opened the Claude Team plan for scientists on August 27, 2026, with an initial 10,000 verified seats. Standard seats are free during the promo. Premium seats are $15 a month, or $180 a year, with 5x usage. Each lab can take 1 to 25 seats, and most applications are reviewed in 5 to 7 business days.
