Session-hour billing shown as its own line item alongside token pricing.

Description

Official documentation · 2 Sep 2026

Anthropic's own docs comparison table calls Managed Agents a separate product from the Agent SDK - company-authored language, which is why these are two records and not one.

Pricing page · 6 Sep 2026

The pricing page's API section describes Managed Agents as 'Build and deploy agents at scale with a suite of composable APIs. Standard token rates' — no price of its own; it is reached through the API and metered on the same tokens.
