Claude now available in the EU – Anthropic expands access to its AI assistant
TL;DR
Anthropic has launched Claude, its AI assistant, for European users and businesses through a web interface, an iOS app, and a paid Team plan, giving EU customers access to the Claude 3 model family.
Availability in Europe
Claude is now reachable for anyone in the European Economic Area via three channels:
- Claude.ai – a web‑based interface that provides the full next‑generation Claude experience.
- Claude iOS app – a free mobile app distributed through the Apple App Store, mirroring the web experience on iPhone and iPad.
- Claude Team plan – a subscription offering for organizations that need secure, multi‑user access to Claude’s capabilities, including the Claude 3 model family.
Both the web interface and the iOS app are free to use. The Team plan costs €28 + VAT per user per month (minimum five seats).
Pricing and Model Access
- Claude Pro – an individual subscription at €18 + VAT per month that unlocks all Claude models, notably Claude 3 Opus, described by Anthropic as one of the most advanced models available.
- Claude Team plan – €28 + VAT per user per month, providing enterprise‑grade security and access to the Claude 3 family for collaborative workflows.
Multilingual Capabilities
Claude demonstrates strong comprehension and fluency in major European languages, including French, German, Spanish, and Italian. Users can converse with the assistant in any of these languages, enabling cross‑language productivity and creativity.
Context within Anthropic’s Product Roadmap
This EU launch follows the earlier release of the Claude API in Europe, which allowed developers to embed Anthropic’s models into external applications. The current rollout adds consumer‑facing products (web and mobile) and a business‑focused Team subscription, completing a three‑tiered offering:
- API – developer integration.
- Claude.ai / iOS – direct user access.
- Team plan – organization‑wide deployment.
Strategic Significance
Making Claude available in the EU expands Anthropic’s market reach and aligns with its “people‑first” AI philosophy by providing accessible, multilingual tools for both individual productivity and enterprise use. The inclusion of the Claude 3 model family, particularly Claude 3 Opus, positions Anthropic competitively against other leading large language model providers in the European market.
