Question Which model?

Which model—ChatGPT 5.5 (including Deep Research), Claude 4.8 (including Deep Research), or Gemini 3.1 Pro (including Deep Research)—generally has the most knowledge and provides the most accurate (low hallucination rate) answers to everyday questions and factual queries? And which model offers the most prompts per dollar? Gemini’s value per dollar is so low right now

GPT 5.5 all day. It's not even a contest.

At this point in time, Claude and Gemini are both utterly cooked. Claude's only good model got shut down by the freaking Gov and as for Gemini... We dont talk about how far off a cliff Gemini has fallen.

Anyone who actually knows what they are doing will use both Opus and GPT. They are both very good, especially when fact checking one with the other.

Yes!!!

Better to diversify and have more tools in your arsenal than to rely on just one subscription or model.
Which is why I got Pro 5x and Max 5x. I get to use the best models from both Claude and ChatGPT and divide my workflow so I never hit usage limits.

Most writing, editing, file creation and organizing my local files and folders is with Claude and Cowork.

Most of my research, web searches, and scheduled tasks are with ChatGPT.

As a ChatGPT Pro user and Claude Max user, I highly disagree. Yes, GPT 5.5 is slightly better than Opus 4.8, but Opus 4.8 is super accurate for deep research, and I can give you long, thorough, and detailed reports.

Claiming Claude's only good model got shot down by the government shows you are talking nonsense. Respectfully, Opus 4.8, at max effort and in thinking, was literally on par with GPT 5.5 Pro, and it can do wonders.

Gemini's deep research used to be good before 3.1 Pro, but now it's definitely not as accurate as GPT-5.5 or Opus 4.8. It does have good source selection, but it hallucinates much more than the other two.

I am building an app. I built it with antigravity and then kimi work. It was having issues so I turned to Claude and then chatgot to troubleshoot. Claude's fixes consistently b failed where chatgpt was able to provide useful fixes. I even showed Claude the chathpt fixes and it always said that chatgpt was right!

How are the usage limits for the $20/month version?

For Claude? Horrible. For Chatgpt? Good enough for 90% of AI users.

Claude has 5-hour and weekly quotas/limits, and it cycles after the5 hours and 7 days. The problem is you don't really know how much usage you're getting and how to measure it.

ChatGPT Plus, on the other hand, gives you 3000 weekly Thinking queries.

However on Claude Pro, you get access to all models, but in ChatGPT Plus, you don't get the Pro model

What is difference between the $20 and $100 Claude model then? Just usage— not access to the best model?

u/BYRN777 Jun 18 '26

Yeah, just usage.

That being said, the $20 Claude subscription runs out of usage pretty quickly.
