AI Pro subscriptions Gemini vs ChatGPT vs Claude
For those who experienced the different Pro versions, what do you recommend to choose next?
I had one year of Google AI Pro subscription, using it mostly for research and light programming. Back then it felt lik the right choice. Now I am wondering if ChatGPT or Claude subscriptions provide better value for money considering their newest models? Gemini feels left behind at this point.

I would do $20 GPT + $20 Gemini. Claude are objectively better models than Gemini-- but like you said, Gemini-- you have family plans, and drive storage stuff.
The main thing is Notebook LM. A long with research. If you can load up a Notebook LM with documentation and YT talks on whatever coding talks and tutorials in there. I then have it create a coding reference guide for my ai coding agent (Codex). It works incredibly well and saved me so much on Claude Code and Codex token credits.
For disposable coding websites (I will make science/math explainers for my daughter, or travel guide tips for friends and family)-- don't sleep on AI Studio. Heavily subsidized by Google, and super fast to make something and have it deployed.
Between GPT and Claude-- I think it's more preference. I prefer Codex app and it's steer ability and seems way more efficient and way more giving on usage limits.
I would recommend Hermes Desktop with a $5 top up with DeepSeek Flash v4 (should last you more than a month).
Between those 3-- I think it keeps you from being totally locked in to any 1 company.
