Allowances
5× Claude Pro
x Pro's session allowance
›The vendor's own wording
"Max 5x provides 5 times more usage per session than the Pro plan." The Pro baseline it multiplies is itself unpublished, so this yields a ratio and no absolute figure.Open the source page
Vendor publishes no figure
weekly cap across all models, figure not published
›The vendor's own wording
"Max plans also have two weekly usage limits: one that applies across all models and another for Sonnet models only." The article gives no figure for either, and adds: "In addition, to manage capacity and ensure fair access to all users, we may limit your usage in other ways, such as weekly and monthly caps or model and feature usage, at our discretion."Open the source page

Subscription versus your own API key
This compares two ways of working the same way — in an IDE or CLI, where BYOK tools make a direct API key a real option. It is not a claim that subscriptions are cheaper than the API in general.
