Claude Code in Brazil: pricing, installation, and using it in Portuguese
Everything about Claude Code in Brazil: availability, price in reais, how to pay, how to install, and using it in Portuguese. A guide for Brazilian developers.
If you are a developer in Brazil and want to use Claude Code, the short answer is: yes, it works normally there. Brazil is a country supported by Anthropic. This guide covers availability, the price in reais, how to pay, and how to use the tool in Portuguese.
Is Claude Code available in Brazil?
Yes. Brazil is among the countries supported by Anthropic, so you can subscribe, install, and use Claude Code without a VPN or accounts in other countries. Installation is the same as anywhere else in the world.
Claude Code in Portuguese
Claude understands and responds very well in Portuguese. You can give all instructions in Portuguese — "write a test for this function," "fix this bug," "explain this snippet" — and it answers in the same language. The command interface is in English, but the conversation can be 100% in Portuguese.
How much does Claude Code cost in Brazil?
Prices are charged in US dollars, so the value in reais depends on the day's exchange rate and your card's taxes (such as the IOF on international purchases). Taking the entry plan as a reference:
| Plan | Price (USD/mo) | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Pro | $20 | Converted to reais + card IOF |
| Max | From $100 | For heavy use |
| API (Console) | Pay-as-you-go | Billed in USD per token |
There is no free version: the free Claude.ai plan does not include Claude Code. Check current prices at claude.com/pricing.
How to pay from Brazil
Payment is made with an international credit card (most Brazilian cards work for USD purchases). Keep in mind there will be the currency conversion and the IOF applicable to international purchases, so the final amount in reais ends up a bit above the direct conversion.

irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iexThen go into your project folder, run claude, and log in. For the full step-by-step by system, see the hub's installation guide.
Is it worth it for those in Brazil?
Despite the USD billing, Claude Code usually pays off for those who code professionally: the time saved on automation, tests, and refactoring tends to outweigh the monthly cost. For occasional use, the API (pay-as-you-go) helps control spending.
