Current state for the user-requested Claude.ai vs Tegy onboarding proof. Tegy's production path is now verified with a real disposable inbox. The remaining unclosed proof is a clean new-Gmail Claude.ai signup run.
Production path is verified.
magic-link.org_self_* workspace.Durable proof: prod-self-service-live-proof-2026-07-06.
Fresh new-Gmail proof remains unclosed.
| 1. Side-by-side Claude + Tegy | Partially proven. Tegy production evidence is live; Claude authenticated usage/upgrade evidence is captured. Fresh new-Gmail Claude signup is still blocked by human verification. |
|---|---|
| 2. New Gmail / Gmail-plus | Tegy accepts Gmail plus-address aliases. Claude new-Gmail signup still requires operator-controlled Gmail access. |
| 3. Screen-by-screen flow | Tegy screens are verified from signed-out login to Free usage. Claude signed-out screen cannot be completed by this agent due to Cloudflare verification. |
| 4. Rest of app works | Existing browser tests cover new chat, settings, billing, projects, artifacts, organization entry points, and gated chat errors. Production self-service proof reaches the app. |
| 5. Upgrade reminders | Claude exposes plan upgrade surfaces from account menu and upgrade page. Tegy now shows a Free plan reminder that opens Billing with an Upgrade plan action. |
| 6. Free usage limits |
Claude exposes current-session and weekly usage buckets with
reset times and percentages. Tegy exposes current-session and
weekly all-model limits with reset times and percentages, using
explicit cost limits of $0.25 and $1.

Anthropic's help center confirms the quota shape but does not publish stable numeric free-account units.
| Free plan | Get started with Claude says free Claude has a session-based limit that resets every five hours, message capacity varies with demand, and Claude may apply other fair-access limits. |
|---|---|
| Usage settings | Usage limit best practices describes usage as plan-dependent and affected by message length, file size, conversation length, tools, model choice, effort level, and artifacts. It also describes Settings > Usage progress bars for five-hour session and weekly limits on paid plans. |
| Limit warnings | Troubleshoot Claude error messages documents approaching-limit warnings and a hard-stop message with a reset time for the five-hour session. |
| Conclusion | Tegy can match the visible shape: session window, reset timing, weekly usage surface, warning/error upgrade pressure, and a clear Free plan. Exact numeric equality cannot be proven from public Claude docs because Claude does not expose stable free-account numeric units. |
Clean signed-out Claude attempts in this environment show Cloudflare human verification before the agent can reach the signup flow.
