Karl Kahn sued Anthropic in a proposed class action for alleged misrepresentation and false advertising in promoting Max 20x plans.
Kahn alleges:
“5. In its offer of monthly subscriptions to Claude, Defendant misleads prospective customers into believing that its higher priced tier for individual subscriptions, Max 20x, delivers expanded usage of twenty times greater than the amount of usage delivered by Defendant’s lower tier Pro package.
6. In fact, Defendant’s Max 20x plan delivers far less than twenty times the usage of the Pro tier, delivering just six to eight times the usage of Pro.
7. Similarly, Defendant’s Max 5x plan delivers far less than five times the usage of the Pro tier, delivering just three-and-a-half times the usage of Pro.
8. To make matters worse, Defendant entices consumers to pay the $200 monthly Max 20x subscription by falsely claiming it offers a 50% savings.”
Kahn asserts claims for (1) Violations of the Consumers Legal Remedies Act, Cal. Civil Code § 1750, et seq.); (2) Violations of the False Advertising Law, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code, § 17500, et seq.; (3) Negligent Misrepresentation; (4) Breach of Contract
The case was filed in the Northern District of California. Docket here.
