Pricing and usage
Claude costs in China: ClaudeU balance, model prices, and usage
Cost-focused articles often collapse subscriptions and usage pricing into one number. A durable guide shows where current prices live, what a payment buys, and where actual debits can be reviewed.
Separate official subscriptions from ClaudeU balance
Anthropic offers official Free, Pro, Max, and Team plans whose usage may be shared across official applications. ClaudeU does not sell those subscriptions; its Pricing page sells balance for the current ClaudeU account.
Read current model prices and the 40% discount
The ClaudeU homepage currently shows 40% off, while Pricing displays published model prices and activity. Check the live page because models, discounts, and promotions can change.
Confirm account, credit, and order state
Before payment, confirm the email, package, and credit amount. After server confirmation, review the account balance and order rather than relying only on a redirect page.
Control cost with real usage records
Start with a small task, inspect the actual model and cost, and adjust model or scope. Keep the usage record and order ID when asking support about a charge.
Frequently asked questions
Does a ClaudeU top-up buy an official Claude subscription?
No. It buys balance for the current ClaudeU account, not an Anthropic Pro, Max, Team, or other official subscription.
Will the ClaudeU 40% discount stay unchanged?
The homepage currently shows 40% off, but model pricing and activities can be updated. Use the live Pricing page at the time of use.
Where can I see the cost of each request?
Use the account center to review the model, tokens, actual cost, and request state. Orders show top-ups and crediting.
