## Claude Team — Who It’s For

**Claude Team** is Anthropic’s entry-level business plan for teams of 5 or more. It sits between the individual Pro plan and the full Enterprise tier, offering meaningful compliance features without enterprise-level complexity or pricing.

### Features and Usage Limits

Claude Team includes:

- **5× more usage** than the Claude Pro plan
- **Extended context window** for longer documents and workflows
- **Shared team workspace** with admin controls and user management
- **Early access** to new Claude models and features
- A **GDPR-compliant DPA** under Article 28 GDPR

Claude Team does not include SSO, audit logs, or full custom system prompts at scale. If your team needs those capabilities, Claude Enterprise is the right next step. See the full [Claude Team plan details](https://compound.law/en-DE/tools/claude-business/) for a deeper feature breakdown.

### GDPR Compliance for the Team Plan

Claude Team includes a **Data Processing Addendum (DPA)** under Article 28 GDPR, which makes it suitable for business use involving personal data. Key limitations for German companies:

- **Data residency**: By default, data is processed and stored in the **United States**. Anthropic relies on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to cover the EU–US transfer.
- **No EU data residency option**: Unlike Enterprise, Team does not offer hosting within the EU.
- **DPIA**: A Data Protection Impact Assessment is generally **not required** for standard Team use, but may be triggered depending on the sensitivity of data processed.

For most SMBs processing standard business data, the DPA and SCCs included with Team are sufficient for GDPR compliance. See the full guide on [which Claude plan includes a GDPR DPA](https://compound.law/en-DE/tools/claude-business-gdpr/) for more detail.

### Pricing and Minimum Seats

Claude Team costs approximately **€25 per user per month** on annual billing with a **minimum of 5 users**. Monthly billing is available at a higher per-seat rate. Always verify the current price at Anthropic’s website, as pricing may change.

## Claude Enterprise — Who It’s For

**Claude Enterprise** is Anthropic’s premium plan for large organisations, regulated industries, and companies with advanced compliance or integration requirements.

### Features and Limits

Claude Enterprise includes everything in Team, plus:

- **SSO/SAML** integration with your identity provider
- **Audit logs** for compliance and security monitoring
- **Custom system prompts** at the organisation level
- **API priority access** for production workloads
- **Dedicated account management** and onboarding support
- **Zero Data Retention (ZDR)** option (data not retained after processing)

### GDPR Compliance for Enterprise

Claude Enterprise offers significantly stronger data protection controls:

- **EU data residency**: Optional hosting within the EU using **AWS Frankfurt** (eu-central-1), eliminating sole reliance on SCCs for the primary processing transfer.
- **Enhanced DPA**: Stronger contractual protections compared to the Team DPA.
- **Audit logs**: Essential for demonstrating compliance with Art. 5(2) GDPR (the accountability principle).
- **ZDR**: Prevents Anthropic from retaining your data after each session.

For companies subject to sector-specific regulations (banking, healthcare, legal), Enterprise’s EU hosting option can significantly simplify compliance. See the [Claude Enterprise full guide](https://compound.law/en-DE/tools/claude-enterprise/) and the [Claude Enterprise GDPR checklist](https://compound.law/en-DE/tools/claude-enterprise-gdpr/) for the complete picture.

### Pricing Model

Claude Enterprise pricing is **not publicly listed**. Contact Anthropic directly for a custom quote. Pricing typically depends on seat count, usage volume, and the specific features required.

## Which Plan Is Right for Your Business?

### Choose Team if…

- Your team has **5–50 users** with standard productivity needs
- You need a **GDPR DPA** but do not require EU data residency
- You do not use SSO or need audit logs
- You are a **startup or SMB** evaluating AI tools before committing to Enterprise
- Your data protection officer is comfortable with US-based processing under SCCs

### Choose Enterprise if…

- You require **SSO/SAML** integration with your existing identity provider
- You operate in a **regulated industry** (financial services, healthcare, legal)
- Your DPO or legal team requires **EU data residency** (AWS Frankfurt)
- You need **audit logs** for compliance or security monitoring
- You are deploying Claude at **100+ seats** or in critical production workflows
- You want **Zero Data Retention** to prevent data retention after sessions

### When to Involve a Data Protection Lawyer

Before deploying Claude Team or Enterprise for workflows involving personal data, consider a legal review if:

- You process **special categories of data** (health, biometric, financial)
- You have not yet assessed whether a **DPIA** is required
- Your existing data processing agreements need updating
- You operate in a regulated sector with specific AI governance requirements

[Compound Law](https://compound.law/en-DE/) can review your DPA, advise on data residency requirements, and help you assess DPIA triggers before deployment.

## GDPR Compliance: Key Differences Between Team and Enterprise

The most significant compliance difference between the two plans comes down to **where your data is processed and stored**.

**Claude Team** relies on US-based infrastructure with SCCs covering the EU–US data transfer. This is legally valid under GDPR for most use cases, but requires your privacy notice and data processing records to reflect the US transfer and the SCC mechanism.

**Claude Enterprise** offers the option to keep data within the EU (AWS Frankfurt). This removes the need for SCCs for the primary processing, simplifies your Art. 30 records, and reduces transfer-risk exposure for regulated industries.

Key questions to resolve before choosing a plan:

1. **Does your DPO require EU data residency?** → Enterprise
2. **Do you process special categories of personal data?** → Consider a DPIA regardless of plan
3. **Do you need audit logs for your compliance programme?** → Enterprise
4. **Is US-based processing under SCCs acceptable?** → Team is sufficient

## How to Get Started

If you are ready to deploy Claude for your team, the first step is ensuring your legal and compliance documentation is in order — before going live with business data.

**Compound Law** helps German businesses review Anthropic’s DPA, assess EU data residency requirements, and structure GDPR-compliant AI deployments. [Contact us](https://compound.law/en-DE/contact/) before processing personal data.
