Where they differ most
Limits or metered usage
On Team, each member has a 5-hour and a weekly limit that can't be transferred or shared. Enterprise bills usage at API rates on top of the seat.
Identity and records
SCIM, custom retention, audit logs and the Compliance API are Enterprise features.
Budgets
Enterprise adds pooled group budgets: one monthly budget a group shares.
Choose Claude Team or Claude Enterprise
Choose Claude Team if
- You have fewer than 20 people, or up to 150 with predictable use.
- A fixed price per seat matters more than unlimited headroom.
- SSO is enough and you don't need SCIM or audit logs yet.
Choose Claude Enterprise if
- You need SCIM, audit logs, the Compliance API or custom retention.
- Developers keep hitting seat limits and you would rather pay for usage.
- You want pooled budgets per group and DLP hooks.
A third option for companies
If the reason you are comparing is usage limits in Claude Code, there is a third route. Point Claude Code and Claude Desktop at Standard Compute and your team stops hitting 5-hour and weekly caps: agents run until the monthly budget is used.
Cost per step
Each step goes to the cheapest model that can do it and the cheapest provider fast enough to serve it.
Models
Claude, GPT and Gemini alongside open models such as GLM, DeepSeek, MiniMax and Kimi, through one API.
Processing in Europe
A Europe rule per company, team or key: every request, including retries and fallbacks, is served only by approved European inference endpoints, or refused before your prompt is sent.
Zero data retention
Required per company, team or key, and Standard Compute never trains on your prompts or outputs.
Single sign-on
Microsoft Entra ID or any SAML provider, and Claude Desktop and Claude Code sign-in with a Microsoft work account.
Budgets
A fixed monthly budget per person and app that never overruns, and spending caps per key and for the whole company.
Allow-lists
Approved providers per company, team or key, and approved models per key. Fallbacks never route around them.
Audit log
Admin changes with before and after values, and a 12-month export of every request's model, provider and region rule.
