ADR-0017: Claude.ai Team Subscription - Full Dev Team Onboarding

  • Status: ✅ Accepted
  • Date: 2026-06-05
  • Owners: @ozcan, @onur, @osmanc

Context

Claude.ai was already in active use within the team for AI-assisted development tasks. Following positive results, the decision was made to onboard the entire development team. This expansion required moving to a structured Team plan with centralized billing and admin controls covering all developers.

Decision

All developers are onboarded to the Claude.ai Team plan, effective June 19, 2026. Recurring monthly cost:

Plan Seats Unit Cost Total
Standard 17 $25.00/month $425.00/month
Premium 1 $125.00/month $125.00/month
Total 18 $550.00/month

Billed via US card. Subscription renews monthly on the 19th.

Options Considered

  • Individual / ad-hoc accounts – rejected; no centralized billing or admin visibility, unscalable as the team grows.
  • Claude Enterprise – rejected; significantly higher cost with no capability gain at current team scale.
  • Partial onboarding – rejected; inconsistent tooling access across the team creates friction and unfair access distribution.

Consequences

  • $550.00/month recurring cost starting June 19, 2026.
  • Seat count must be revisited whenever team size changes.
  • Premium seat allocation should be reviewed quarterly based on usage data.
