The Everything vs Claude Team
Prices and features checked 2026-11-13
Claude has moved well beyond chat. It now sends email, edits calendars and runs scheduled tasks. So the difference here is narrower than it was, and worth looking at closely.
At a glance
| The Everything | Claude Team | |
|---|---|---|
| Best at | Finishing business tasks in Microsoft 365 and your business apps | Writing, reasoning and long documents |
| Where you use it | Teams, text from your phone, Office add-ins, a Windows agent | Claude itself, with Claude Code and Claude Cowork included |
| Email and calendar | Outlook and Outlook Calendar, including shared mailboxes | Gmail, Google Calendar and Microsoft 365 connectors; Microsoft 365 writing needs an admin to turn on write tools |
| Approval | Asks before anything important goes out | Asks before each send by default; owners decide if members can turn that off |
| Schedules | Morning brief, follow-ups, review requests | Scheduled tasks hourly, daily, weekly or weekdays, even with your computer asleep |
| Xero and trade software | Xero, Trak, ServiceM8, Tradify, Scoro, D-Tools Cloud live | Not listed; you can add remote connectors |
| Admin | Scoped Microsoft 365 permissions, audit logging | SSO, central billing, connector controls, domain verification; no audit logs, SCIM or roles on Team |
| Price | A$400/month + GST per company | US$20 per seat/month annual, US$25 monthly; 2 to 150 seats |
Where Claude Team is better
Thinking and writing. If the work is reading a long contract, comparing several reports or writing something that needs care, Claude is excellent. The Everything turns dictation into documents, but it isn't trying to be the best general writer on the market.
Scheduled tasks you design. Anthropic says scheduled tasks are available on Team and run remotely, “even when your computer is asleep”, hourly, daily, weekly or on weekdays. You can point them at almost anything you can describe.
Google Workspace. Claude's connectors include Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Drive. Through Gmail it can send, reply and forward, and by default it asks for your approval before each one. If your business runs on Google, Claude fits and The Everything, which is built for Microsoft 365, does not.
Builders' tools. Claude Code and Claude Cowork come with Team, and you can add remote and local connectors under admin controls. If someone on your team likes to build, there's a lot of room.
Small teams pay less. Two Standard seats cost US$40 a month on annual billing.
Where The Everything is different
Business integrations, ready to use. Xero, Trak, ServiceM8, Tradify, Scoro and D-Tools Cloud are live, along with Outlook, shared mailboxes, SharePoint, Planner and Shifts. One text can become a purchase order, an expense and a Xero entry. With Claude, you'd need to find or build a connector for each of these.
Built around the jobs. Its demos are things like tendering a job out, comparing subbie quotes, progress claims into Xero, timesheets in chat and filling cancelled slots. You don't write the workflow; you ask in Teams or by text, and it does the job.
Microsoft 365 without the admin switches. Claude's Microsoft 365 connector can send email (without attachments) and change calendar events only after an admin enables write tools and grants Entra consent. The Everything is set up for Outlook from the start, including shared mailboxes.
Per-company pricing. Everyone in the business can use it for A$400 a month + GST.
Price for 1, 5, 15 and 40 people
Monthly cost. Claude Team is priced in US dollars before tax. Anthropic says regional pricing appears at claude.ai/upgrade, and we couldn't confirm an Australian dollar price, so we haven't converted it. The Everything is in Australian dollars, plus GST.
| People | The Everything (A$, + GST) | Claude Team Standard, annual (US$20/seat) | Claude Team Standard, monthly (US$25/seat) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A$400 | Not available (2-seat minimum; 2 seats US$40) | Not available (2 seats US$50) |
| 5 | A$400 | US$100 | US$125 |
| 15 | A$400 | US$300 | US$375 |
| 40 | A$400 | US$800 | US$1,000 |
Premium seats cost US$100 a month on annual billing or US$125 monthly, with “5x more usage than standard seats”, and you can mix seat types. For example, 5 people with 1 Premium and 4 Standard seats would be US$180 a month on annual billing. Team is paid by credit card only and tops out at 150 seats. For one person, Anthropic's individual plans such as Pro are the route; we haven't priced them here. See pricing compared for every product side by side.

Questions people ask
Can Claude Team send emails and book meetings?
Yes, through its connectors. With Gmail it can send, reply and forward, asking for approval before each one by default. Google Calendar and Microsoft 365 events can be created, updated and deleted; Microsoft 365 needs an admin to enable write tools.
Does Claude Team connect to Xero or ServiceM8?
Neither is a listed built-in connector on the pages we checked. Team supports remote connectors, so one could be added with some setup. The Everything lists both as live integrations.
Can one person buy Claude Team?
No. Team needs at least 2 seats and allows up to 150. A sole operator would look at Anthropic's individual plans instead.
How much is Claude Team in Australian dollars?
We couldn't confirm it. Anthropic publishes US$20 per seat a month on annual billing or US$25 monthly, and says regional pricing is shown at claude.ai/upgrade.
Which is better for data and admin controls?
They differ. Claude Team offers SSO, connector controls and domain verification, with audit logs, SCIM and custom retention reserved for Enterprise. The Everything runs on your Microsoft 365 with scoped permissions and audit logging, uses Azure OpenAI and OpenAI, and claims no certifications.
