Our take

Claude Projects is the right call if your team is 100% on Claude and your AI work is one human + one model in long, project-scoped threads. Switchy is the right call if you want a real team chat — multiple humans, multiple models (Claude AND GPT-5 AND Gemini), connected tools via MCP, and shared memory that propagates into every teammate's Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, and ChatGPT.

Where Claude Projects (Anthropic Team plan) wins

Claude Projects wins on per-model depth if you've committed to Anthropic as your primary AI vendor — it has first-party Claude features (Artifacts, Projects, Computer Use) that no third-party surface can replicate. If your team has standardised on Claude and the workflow is mostly individual humans talking to Claude, this is the smoothest path.

## Where each tool fits Claude Projects is the answer when you've already made a vendor decision — you trust Anthropic, you want first-party Claude features, and your AI usage is mostly one-person-and-Claude in long project threads. Anthropic's Team plan adds shared billing, SSO, and the Projects surface across your seats. Switchy starts from a different assumption: your team uses more than one model and more than one tool, and the value isn't "the best Claude experience" — it's "every model, every tool, one memory, one chat." A Switchy Space is a room where Ash and Sam and Claude and GPT-5 and the GitHub MCP and the Linear MCP all share context. Then that memory becomes its own MCP server, so the same context shows up the moment any teammate opens Claude Code or Cursor. A common pattern: teams keep their individual Claude.ai or Pro subscriptions for deep solo work and use Switchy as the shared brain that the team works through together. ## Pricing snapshot (as of May 2026) Anthropic publishes Claude Team Standard at $25/seat/month ($20 annual) and Claude Team Premium at $125/seat/month ($100 annual), both with a 5-seat minimum. Claude Code is included with Team Premium. Switchy Team is $49/month + $12/seat ($39 + $10 annual). No seat minimum — start solo and invite when you're ready.
