Anthropic's own pricing page, read 2026-09-06. The Pro tier ($17/month with an annual subscription, $20 monthly) reads: 'Everything in Free, plus: More usage · Includes Claude Code · Includes Claude Cowork · Includes Claude Design · Includes Claude Science'. The word is the vendor's own: these ship inside the Claude plan rather than being bought separately.
