7171Slack users don't each need a Claude seat to work with Claude in channels.

7373* **In channels**: by default, anyone in the paired Slack workspace can tag `@Claude` in a channel, and an Owner can [restrict who can use Claude](/docs/claude-tag/admins/restrict-access#restrict-who-can-use-claude) to people in your Claude organization or, on Enterprise, to specific roles. Channel work bills by usage to your organization's usage balance, under a [spend limit](/docs/claude-tag/admins/set-spend-limit) an Owner sets.
74* **In DMs**: a DM with Claude runs on the sender's own Claude account and bills to that person's seat. The seat must include Claude Code, or, on the Enterprise plan, be a **Standard** or **Usage-Based Chat** seat held by someone who also has Cowork.
74* **In DMs**: a DM from a member who has connected a Claude account runs on that account and bills to that person's seat. The seat must include Claude Code, or, on the Enterprise plan, be a **Standard** or **Usage-Based Chat** seat held by someone who also has Cowork. A [DM from a member who hasn't connected a Claude account](/docs/claude-tag/admins/restrict-access#direct-messages-from-members-without-a-claude-account) can bill to your organization for a limited time.

170170Adding Claude to Slack doesn't add a per-seat charge. Channel and thread work is billed by usage instead: it draws from a **usage balance**, an amount in your organization's billing currency that an Owner funds. A [spend limit](/docs/claude-tag/admins/set-spend-limit) caps how much of that balance Claude Tag can use each billing period.

172Direct messages don't draw from this balance. A DM runs on the sender's own claude.ai account and follows that seat's usual usage limits, so the organization spend limit doesn't apply to it.
172Direct messages from members who have connected a Claude account don't draw from this balance. Such a DM runs on the sender's own claude.ai account and follows that seat's usual usage limits, so the organization spend limit doesn't apply to it. A [DM from a member who hasn't connected a Claude account](/docs/claude-tag/admins/restrict-access#direct-messages-from-members-without-a-claude-account) can draw from this balance.

174174To learn what your team's usage costs, run a pilot with a spend limit set and watch the per-channel breakdown on the [usage page in your admin settings](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/usage/claude-tag). Your organization may already have a [launch usage credit](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/15575654-claude-tag-launch-promo-for-claude-team-and-enterprise) to run that pilot against before it funds the balance itself.
