ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini: Plans, Prices & Access

A fair price comparison starts with the billing unit

Choose the job first: general assistance, source-checkable research, a terminal coding agent, or help inside Google apps. Then compare a monthly subscription with another monthly subscription. A yearly headline rate, a temporary trial and a metered API bill answer different questions.

The table records publicly listed individual web plans. It does not assert country, age, workplace or account eligibility. It excludes organization plans, negotiated contracts and temporary discounts.

These are reference prices, not a checkout quote. Taxes, local currency, app-store billing, eligibility and promotions can change the amount you pay. Annual equivalents and API charges are not mixed into this table.

Model access: product first, model second

Check the model picker and administrator controls in the surface you will actually use. We have not logged into your account or benchmarked these models for you.

What this comparison deliberately does not rank

There is no overall winner, value score or paid placement in this shortlist. Writing quality, research accuracy and code correctness depend on the task and verification. A feature check establishes a possible route, not the quality of the answer it will produce.

For the first test, use the same input and acceptance criteria across services. Keep confidential material out until you have checked your workplace rules and the specific account's data controls.

Evidence and update policy

This independent reference is checked against provider documentation during editorial preparation, with software assistance. It is not an account-level test or a head-to-head benchmark. Prices, access notes and updates share one catalog, so a reviewed correction can flow to all five pages. Fetching a page or saving an edit does not, by itself, renew its verification date.

Each record has an explicit review deadline, no more than seven days after its check. Overdue records are labeled and excluded from price-based recommendations. Offers with an explicit expiry stop displaying as active after that time. Missing evidence means “not verified,” not “free,” “unavailable” or “no incident.”

Official sources establish documented terms; your provider account and local checkout establish your actual access and charge. We do not inspect either. There is no universal model ranking, automated publication of scraped claims or promise of continuous human coverage.
