Public GitHub commits attributed to Claude
Claude Code declares attribution on the work it produces, so coverage is strong. The headline is a point-in-time estimate that moves between measurements and a floor: squash-merges, private repositories, and a separate review integration sit outside it.
Last full week (2026-06-08): 3.7M signed commits (-11.6% week over week), search estimate.
Distinct users: 6,756 humans opened the 12,600 most recently sampled PRs, about 1.9 PRs per person.
Merge rate: 91.5% of its pull requests get merged (2,077,567 of 2,270,518 over 8 settled weeks, 2026-04-13 to 2026-06-07). The window ends about ten days back so recently-opened PRs have had time to merge.
GitHub review activity: 4.7% of its merged PRs had at least one GitHub review record before merging; the other 95.3% had none. This is a broad weekly signal and can include bot reviews; the human-review read below comes from the enriched PR sample.
In significant repos (company-owned or 10+ stars), 33.3% of its merged PRs got a human review. Across all sampled repos, the rate is 24.2%. Human review means a non-author, non-bot GitHub reviewer in the PR-lifecycle sample.
Median time to merge: 25 min. The unreviewed median is 0.19h. The human-reviewed median is 3.97h. From a 120-PR sample merged 2026-05-07 to 2026-06-05.
Test-inclusion: 42.5% of its sampled merged PRs touch a test file. This is a rough read on production readiness. 3 large PRs hit GitHub's 100-file path read cap, so treat this as a floor.
Flow share: 13.2% of the 7998 most recent public PRs sampled (1057 PRs, 8 windows, last 2026-06-17).
Task lens: 4.2M agent-opened PRs. The declared mark can be removed by the team, so treat this as approximate.

Best fit
Direct competitors
- Enterprise use represents over half of Claude Code revenue, according to Anthropic.
- Anthropic says Claude Code weekly active users doubled after January 1, 2026, but it does not publish the absolute WAU count.
- Claude Code docs now recommend native install and package-manager routes, so npm downloads are treated as one visible install channel rather than total usage.
- Anthropic says business subscriptions to Claude Code quadrupled since the start of 2026.
- Anthropic cites SemiAnalysis estimating Claude Code authors 4% of all public GitHub commits, double the prior month.
- Anthropic's May 2026 Series H valued the parent company at $965B and said company run-rate revenue crossed $47B earlier that month.
- By February 2026 Claude Code's run-rate had reached about $2.5B, roughly half a billion above Cursor's at the time, and developers reported switching from Cursor to Claude Code (Bloomberg, via Business Insider).
- Anthropic was, at one point, heavily dependent on Cursor: a Cursor employee estimated it was 40-50% of Anthropic's revenue before Claude Code launched (Business Insider).
npm channel caveat: Native preferredExpandHide
Claude Code's npm downloads halved in late April 2026 — a distribution change, not a usage decline.
In late April 2026 Anthropic moved the recommended install to native installers (Homebrew, WinGet, apt, dnf, apk). The npm package still works and installs the same binary, so the drop from ~13M to ~8M weekly is installs shifting off npm, not fewer users. npm now counts only one channel and understates total adoption.

- Token transparency
- Retail token equivalent
- Included usage
- Published average guidance: Pro ~10-40 Claude Code prompts/5h; Max 5x ~50-200; Max 20x ~200-800. Actual capacity varies with prompt length, context size, model, file attachments, tool use, and demand.
- Overage path
- After plan limits, users can wait for reset or enable extra usage / Anthropic Console API credits at standard API rates.
Retail Token Equivalent
No fixed subscription token quota is published. At current Sonnet API retail, $100 equals about 33.3M input or 6.7M output tokens; $200 equals about 66.7M input or 13.3M output tokens. This is dollar-equivalent math, not a Max plan entitlement.
| Plan | Price | Allowance | Unit | Token / Overage Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Pro | $20/mo | ~45 Claude messages or ~10-40 Claude Code prompts every 5 hours, with actual usage varying by context and model. | 5-hour prompts | $20 at Sonnet API retail = ~6.7M input tokens or ~1.3M output tokens. Manual API-credit path after limit; otherwise wait for reset. Claude Code on Pro is Sonnet-only in published guidance. |
| Claude Max 5x | $100/mo | ~225 Claude messages or ~50-200 Claude Code prompts every 5 hours, with actual usage varying by context and model. | 5-hour prompts | $100 at Sonnet API retail = ~33.3M input / ~6.7M output; at Opus retail = ~20M input / ~4M output. Can switch to API credits or wait for reset. Claude Code can switch from Opus to Sonnet at 20% of Max 5x usage. |
| Claude Max 20x | $200/mo | ~900 Claude messages or ~200-800 Claude Code prompts every 5 hours, with actual usage varying by context and model. | 5-hour prompts | $200 at Sonnet API retail = ~66.7M input / ~13.3M output; at Opus retail = ~40M input / ~8M output. Can switch to API credits or wait for reset. Claude Code can switch from Opus to Sonnet at 50% of Max 20x usage. |
Unit Economics (Measured)
Mean API-retail cost per completed task on the Artificial Analysis coding agent index (358 tasks across 3 suites, pass@1 over 3 runs, snapshot 2026-06-09). These are pay-per-token API costs, not subscription effective costs.

Break-even vs API retail on the top harness (Claude Code, Opus 4.8 (max), $4.62/task): Claude Pro at $20/mo covers about 4 tasks; Claude Max 5x at $100/mo covers about 22 tasks; Claude Max 20x at $200/mo covers about 43 tasks. Assumes the Artificial Analysis task mix.
Included with Claude Pro and Max plans, or billable through Anthropic API credits. Pro is light-use; Max 5x is $100/month; Max 20x is $200/month.
- Anthropic estimates Pro users get roughly 10-40 Claude Code prompts every 5 hours.
- Max 5x is roughly 50-200 Claude Code prompts every 5 hours.
- Max 20x is roughly 200-800 Claude Code prompts every 5 hours.
- Opus consumes limits faster than Sonnet; Max can automatically switch from Opus to Sonnet at usage thresholds.
