Paying from the Philippines
Billing currency. Prices are in dollars. The page does not state which payment methods or local currencies are accepted. Taxes. The pricing page does not state whether taxes are added, and the checkout shows the amount. Card conversion fees are set by your card issuer.
Data privacy points
What each plan does with conversations. Anthropic’s privacy centre says consumer chats and coding sessions are used to improve Claude if the Model Improvement setting allows it, and incognito chats are excluded. It lists safety-flagged conversations and feedback ratings as other cases. For commercial products such as Claude for Work and the API, it states that by default it will not use inputs or outputs for training, unless you send feedback or otherwise opt in.
Data Privacy Act considerations. Republic Act No. 10173 requires transparency, a legitimate purpose and proportionality (Section 11), a lawful basis such as consent (Section 12), reasonable security measures (Section 20), and continuing accountability for data handed to another party (Section 21). Keep customer personal data out of consumer accounts, and ask your data protection officer or a lawyer how these duties apply to you.
Claude inside automations
The API in a workflow tool. n8n and Zapier can send text to a model through an API. Anthropic lists API prices per million tokens, for example Haiku 5.5 at $0.10 input and $0.50 output for prompts up to 100K tokens (about PHP 6 and PHP 31).
Cost model. API use is billed per token by Anthropic, separately from the workflow tool and from Claude app plans. Batch processing is listed as 50% off, and web search is $10 per 1,000 searches.
