Claude Enterprise adds shared AI budgets, usage reports and surveys

Anthropic has added three tools to Claude Enterprise, its AI plan for organizations: shared monthly budgets for groups, usage reports that show what AI work costs, and short surveys that ask staff what value they get. They are available now to Claude Enterprise customers. The material does not say whether they cost extra.

What the reports show

Reports cover a period of up to 28 days across chat, Claude Code and Claude Cowork. Claude reads a sample of conversations, groups the work into major projects and assigns a cost to each. Dashboards sort sessions by type of deliverable, with an average cost, and list common friction points. They also suggest fixes, such as creating shared skills or adding rules in a code repository.

The reports also count wasted effort. That includes sessions that produced no usable result and sessions that were personal or off-topic. Administrators can ask their own questions about usage and costs and save them as templates.

How shared budgets work

Each group gets a shared monthly amount. Heavy users can draw on what their colleagues have not spent. Individual limits stay in place as a safeguard against unusual use. Each request counts against both the personal and the team amount, and access stops when either one runs out. A blocked person can ask Claude for an extension, and an administrator must approve it.

• Billing admins get email alerts at 50%, 75%, 95% and 100% of the budget.
• Admins can raise a spending limit directly from a report.

Privacy limits

An account owner must switch on the reports in settings. They are not available for deployments that use client-managed encryption keys, HIPAA setups or hybrid modes. Employee names are hidden by default. Personal or off-topic use shows only as totals: sessions, employees involved and cost.

If that option is turned on, the person viewing the report can reveal who ran each session. Each reveal is logged. Anthropic says the reports are not meant to judge individual performance or guide employment decisions. Account owners can also open reports to team leaders without making them admins.

Surveys inside the tool

Surveys appear as a card after a response, right where the employee works. Default questions ask for the most useful recent task, the effect on completion time, a best practice worth repeating, and what would break or slow down first without Claude. Administrators choose the questions, recipients and schedule. Answers arrive in real time and can be exported to a spreadsheet.

What to do

Businesses that pay for Claude Enterprise can use these tools to cap spending and find where money is wasted. Because reports rest on a sample of conversations, they are a guide, not a full count. Staff should be told what the reports can see, including that personal use is flagged and that names can be revealed if the option is on.
