AI tools / Claude for business

Claude in your business: for those who put quality above name recognition

In 2026, Anthropic Claude is the strongest text and code AI in many benchmarks. Less well known in the Netherlands than ChatGPT, but for legal work, long documents, code review and editing often the better choice. We help you choose, integrate and expand.

Licences

Claude Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise or API

Anthropic offers six flavours. Pro and Max are for individual users. Team is the logical choice for most SMEs. Enterprise becomes relevant at scale or with strict compliance. The API is for those who build AI into their own software.

Claude Pro

€15/mo (annual · €178 up front) · €18/mo

Individual users who need more than the free plan.

Higher usage limits, includes Claude Code and Claude Cowork. The most practical choice for a solo professional or freelancer.

Claude Max 5×

€89 per month

Power users who want a lot of output and early access.

Five times the usage of Pro, higher output per prompt, early access to new features and priority. Includes Claude Code and Cowork.

Claude Max 20×

€178 per month

The heaviest users who don't want to feel limits.

Twenty times the usage of Pro. Same benefits as Max 5× but for the most intensive workdays.

Claude Team

€18/user/mo (annual) · €22 monthly

Teams that want to work on Claude.ai with shared projects.

A central workspace, projects for shared context, higher limits than Pro. A premium seat (€89/€111) gives five times the usage. Claude is not trained on your data.

Claude Enterprise

€18/user + API usage

Organisations that need SSO, audit logs and extended context.

SSO, role-based access, extended context of several hundred thousand tokens, data-retention controls. Token usage billed separately at API rates.

Claude API

Pay-as-you-go per token

When you want to integrate Claude into your own software, AI colleagues or automations.

Access to Opus 4.7, Sonnet 4.6 and Haiku 4.5. We use the API for AI colleagues that work inside your existing tools. Data is not used for training by default.

Prices converted from USD (rate ~0.89), see anthropic.com/pricing for current rates. Anthropic adjusts bundles regularly.

Honest overview

Strengths and weaknesses

Strengths

  • Strong on long documents, analysis, legal texts and code review
  • Writes more nuanced and less generic than many competitors by nature
  • Privacy positioning: no training on customer data via Team, Enterprise or API
  • Good at following instructions and at admitting when it doesn't know something
  • Native integrations with Chrome, Slack and Microsoft 365

What to watch out for

  • The ecosystem and number of off-the-shelf integrations is smaller than ChatGPT's
  • A less familiar name within Dutch SMEs, needs more explanation on the floor
  • No advanced in-product image generation (focus is on text, code and analysis)
  • Max plans add up in price; for intensive use by a whole team that matters

Where Claude excels

Four domains where we deliberately use Claude

Long documents

Claude processes contracts, annual reports and legislation of hundreds of pages in one go. No fiddling with splitting into chunks. Ideal for legal, finance and compliance.

Code and engineering

Claude Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.7 score consistently high on code benchmarks. We use it intensively ourselves to build AI colleagues and internal tooling.

Writing and editing

For those who don't want AI slop: Claude stays closer to the tone of the source material. For blogs, email and customer letters that saves editing time.

Analysis and reasoning

On multi-step reasoning, scenarios and weighing evidence, Claude often feels more thorough. A strong point for consulting-style work.

Use cases by role

Where Claude adds value right away in an SME

Legal and compliance

Summarising and comparing contracts, first-line legal Q&A, reviewing policy documents, NIS2 and GDPR checks.

Finance and accountancy

Annual-report and reporting analysis, summarising long ESG and CSR documents, reviewing audit work papers.

Engineering and product

Code review, refactoring suggestions, architecture sparring, writing technical documentation. Claude Code for autonomous coding tasks.

Marketing and editing

Long-form content, white papers, client cases, email campaigns that keep your brand voice.

Leadership

Sparring on strategic memos, summarising M&A documents, working through board packs.

The mAIxs approach

How we put Claude to work in your business

  1. 01

    Decide whether Claude fits

    For some businesses ChatGPT or Copilot makes more sense because the ecosystem is closer to their work. We start with an honest comparison based on your tooling, sector and data sensitivity.

  2. 02

    Use cases where Claude truly excels

    We deploy Claude where its strength is: long documents, analysis, code, editing. For one-off short questions and images, another tool or a combination can make more sense.

  3. 03

    Integration with your existing work

    Via native integrations (Slack, Microsoft 365, Outlook) and the Claude API we connect Claude to your existing workflows, your CRM, your document sources or your own software. End users work in their familiar environment, Claude does the heavy lifting in the background.

  4. 04

    Embedding and expansion

    Monthly review of what works, new use cases, prompt maintenance. With the mAIxs subscription we expand Claude step by step across your organisation.

Frequently asked questions

Claude for business, answered briefly

Can Claude work with customer data under the GDPR?+

Anthropic does not use customer data for training on Team, Enterprise and the API by default. Processing happens on AWS infrastructure, including in the EU. For special categories of personal data and data under NIS2 we recommend an additional risk assessment and a data processing agreement. For the strictest requirements we look at a hybrid with local AI.

What's the difference between Claude and ChatGPT in practice?+

For one-off short questions they're close. Claude clearly wins on long documents, legal work, code review and when you value tone and nuance. ChatGPT has a larger ecosystem and more off-the-shelf integrations. Many clients use both and we help choose per use case.

Does Claude have a Dutch interface?+

The Claude.ai interface is largely English, but Claude reads, writes and thinks in Dutch just fine. For most SME staff that's not a blocker. We set up Dutch instructions and templates where it helps.

What does Claude cost for an SME team?+

Claude Pro is around €16 per month with annual billing. For a team of ten on the standard Team plan, expect roughly €180 to €230 per month, converted from dollars. The premium Team seat gives five times the usage for about €92 per seat per month. API usage via an AI colleague is typically €100 to €500 per month at SME volume. Implementation via mAIxs is done with a fixed-price sprint or the mAIxs subscription. Ask for current rates during an introduction.

Can Claude be connected to our internal knowledge?+

Yes. Via projects in Claude Team you upload source files that are read within the project. For a structural connection to your CRM, knowledge base or email history we build that via the API. Then Claude works with your current data without anyone having to upload each time.
