How the free Claude Code week works
The guest pass is the only zero-cost way to use Claude Code on real work — here's exactly what happens after you click.
1. Click the guest pass link to claim your free week
Attribution happens at signup, not retroactively — clicking the referral link before creating your Anthropic account is what activates the 7-day pass. Going directly to claude.ai means no free week gets applied.
2. Get full access to Claude + Claude Code for 7 days
The guest pass covers both products: chat with Claude on claude.ai (with Pro-level limits) and run Claude Code from your terminal on real projects. No credit card required to activate, no usage cap surprises during the week.
3. Decide before the week ends
After 7 days, you can subscribe to Pro ($20/month) or Max ($100-200/month) to keep the access — or just stop. Anthropic won't auto-charge you without your consent. The week is enough time to know whether Claude Code fits your workflow.
