Claude makes sense when much of your work involves reading, writing and revising substantial material. Projects and Artifacts help keep a longer task organized, and the same assistant can move between prose, analysis and code. Start with Free to assess the workflow, then choose Pro if the additional capacity and connected tools save you time. Max is a capacity upgrade; justify it with your own usage before adding a large recurring cost.
