An interactive model to compare Claude Teams and Claude Enterprise for your team of approximately 65 knowledge workers. Adjust the inputs to match how your team will actually use Claude, and the recommendation updates in real time.
Adjust the model to match Pro Services.
Power users who will hit standard seat limits.
Occasional use, a few sessions per day.
Daily active use, mixed workloads.
Heavy users: 15% (9 users)

No critical governance gaps flagged, and heavy adoption makes Enterprise usage billing expensive. Teams gives predictable per-seat pricing with included usage. 5 Premium seats absorb the power users; Standard seats cover everyone else.
Cost difference: Teams saves $4,370/mo vs Enterprise self-serve. Annualized: $52,440. Revisit Enterprise at renewal once usage patterns are known.
The usage split question is the right one to pressure-test before locking in a recommendation. Research and real-world deployment data generally clusters around a consistent pattern.
Most organizations see roughly 70–80% of value coming from 20–30% of users. The power law is consistent across enterprise software, not just AI tools.
Day one (no prior AI culture): Light users 40–60%, Moderate 25–35%, Heavy 10–20%. Your 50/35/15 assumption is reasonable and slightly conservative on heavy. Post-training reality: Heavy users climb to 20–25% within 90 days as habits form. If Pro Services has been through the AI Fluency program first, expect roughly 30/40/30 — more usage, but the Teams bill stays flat.
1–3 sessions per day, under 15 minutes total. Primarily chat/Q&A, occasional document summarization. Token consumption: roughly 50K–150K tokens per month. Real world: someone asking Claude to clean up an email twice a day.
5–15 sessions per day, 30–60 minutes total. Mix of drafting, research, analysis, document work. Token consumption: roughly 500K–1.5M tokens per month. Real world: an ops manager using Claude to summarize reports, draft SOPs, prep for meetings.
20+ sessions, 2+ hours of active use. Building prompts, running workflows, iterating on complex documents, possibly using API or Projects. Token consumption: 2M–8M+ tokens per month. Real world: a department head using Claude for everything from analysis to client comms to internal docs.
How mature is the organization's AI adoption at the time of rollout. If Pro Services is deploying Claude on day one with no prior AI culture, your 50/35/15 is probably right or even generous on heavy. If they've been through the training program first, expect 30/40/30 within 90 days. That's actually a selling point worth building into the recommendation: the more they use the AI Fluency program, the more the Teams cost model outperforms Enterprise, because usage goes up but the bill doesn't.
Teams plan total includes Standard seats at $20/seat/month annual, Premium seats at $100/seat/month annual for power users, and an estimated usage-credit buffer for heavy users who exceed weekly per-seat limits. Standard seats include 1.25x Pro plan usage, Premium seats include 6.25x Pro usage. The usage-credit line is an estimate, not a fixed charge — Teams has no metered overage; heavy users who hit weekly per-seat caps either wait for reset or the org pre-purchases usage credits.
Enterprise self-serve charges $20/seat/month annually for access (20-seat minimum), billed separately from usage. Every token consumed in Claude, Claude Code, or Cowork is billed at standard API rates. Sales-assisted Enterprise requires a 50-seat minimum and unlocks HIPAA/BAA, invoicing, and multi-currency. The estimated API spend for each user tier reflects typical mid-market knowledge-worker patterns. Adjust the sliders to match Pro Services reality.
Section AI ProfAI ($15,000/year flat) is additive to either plan and is part of the broader UpShift engagement. Implementation services, training delivery, and integration work are scoped separately. Volume discounts on sales-assisted Enterprise contracts are not reflected; the self-serve number is the floor estimate for any custom negotiation.

Teams gives Pro Services the collaboration, shared projects, and admin controls the leadership team needs on day one — without paying for Enterprise governance you won't use until adoption matures. As the AI Fluency program rolls out and usage deepens, the Teams cost model keeps pace: spend more time in Claude, not more on Claude. Revisit Enterprise when SSO, audit logs, or seat counts above 20 become hard requirements.
