Claude's Rupee Price Still Needs a Card
Anthropic began showing tax-inclusive rupee prices in India, while UPI payments remain absent from the rollout.
Summary
Anthropic began showing tax-inclusive rupee prices in India, while UPI payments remain absent from the rollout.
Claude subscriptions have begun appearing in Indian rupees on Anthropic's website and mobile apps, TechCrunch reports. India is Claude's second-largest market by usage, according to Anthropic, but the localized prices are not simple currency conversions and payments still run through cards or app stores rather than India's widely used UPI network. The rollout reduces exchange-rate ambiguity while leaving a major local payment habit unserved.
