ChatGPT Go, Plus, and Pro
ChatGPT’s premium pricing is straightforward and makes its features and limitations easy to understand.
OpenAI’s first paid tier, Go, is its newest plan. For just $8 a month, you get higher limits and more access across the board. However, if you’re looking to avoid the new ChatGPT ads, you won’t be able to do so with this plan and will need to step up to the next level to go ad-free.
The second premium plan is GPT Plus Chatopening the doors to expanded GPT-5 access and higher limits for messaging, uploads, data analysis, and image creation. You will get too Advanced sound mode With video and screen sharing, ChatGPT ProxyAnd limited access to Sora video creation.
If you want more, you can choose the Pro plan, which costs $200 per month. This provides unlimited messages, uploads, image creation, and extended access to ChatGPT and Sora proxy. Pro will unlock the more advanced GPT-5 Pro and o3 Pro models, with more computing power for more complex queries.

Google AI Plus, Pro and AI Ultra
Google’s Gemini is perhaps the most accessible chatbot out there, and its premium pricing levels are in line with the competition.
With Gemini, Google is integrated into the heart of the chatbot experience, making it a great choice for powered Google users.
Google’s AI Pro offers more features across the board than the free version, unlocking Gemini in Google Workspace apps, and flow Movie making tool, and more advanced search models Artificial intelligence fashion. But it doesn’t stop with Gemini. You’ll also get 2TB of storage for Google Photos, Drive, and Gmail. This plan also includes a 10% credit on purchases from the Google Store.
Despite the abundance of features in the Google AI Pro plan, it is the free tier of Gemini It offers a lot to most people.
Google’s top tier is AI Ultra, which costs $250 per month, though there are usually discounts for the first few months. However, it’s a lot of money, no matter how many extras you’re thrown at. This plan offers the highest limits (read: not unlimited) for every feature AI Pro has to offer, increases cloud storage from 2TB to 30TB, adds YouTube Premium, along with early access to the agent’s prototype, Project Mariner.
Such as ChatGPT, Google has also introduced a new $8 plan. The Plus plan offers 200GB of storage and greater access to the latest Gemini 3 Pro models. For a limited time, Google is offering the Plus plan at 50% off for the first two months. Even at full price, this plan is ideal for those who have just reached the limits of the free plan but don’t need all the benefits and features from the Pro plan.
Co-pilot
Microsoft’s Copilot may be a repackaged ChatGPT, but it still has its own “personality.”
Microsoft’s Copilot comes pre-installed on a large number of Windows PCs, making it incredibly accessible (like Gemini on Android). Although it’s based on ChatGPT models with Microsoft Graph, Copilot looks different enough to be its own thing.
To my surprise, Copilot produced the most interesting images when I compared it to other chatbots. Sometimes Gemini and ChatGPT produced similar images, but Copilot always produced something more distinct. Even if I don’t do it often, I still consider it a favorite feature.
Like Google, Copilot integrates well with Microsoft 365 apps, although some of its features are locked behind Microsoft 365 for Business, like its competitor NotebookLM. Co-pilot’s notebooks. Without jumping to 365 for Business, Copilot offers three plans that give you access to higher limits and allow you to use them in specific Microsoft 365 apps. Upgraded plans will also give you access to Deep Search forms and actions, which allow Copilot to fill out forms for you or help with your shopping.
Confusion
Higher levels of premium Perplexity packages in AI Comet Browser
Confusion is our condition Preferred chatbot for searchbut the free version is limited to three professional searches and search uses per day. That might be fine for casual users, but those really trying to take advantage of Perplexity’s capabilities will want more of everything, and you’ll need to shell out as much as $20 a month to get started.
Perplexity Pro will give you unlimited professional searches, unlimited file uploads, and more file uploads per space. It will also open up image generation and access to more advanced models than the standard “best” model in the free version.
She also has confusion Cometa limited-access web browser with live cache AI. Pro and Max subscribers receive Comet Plus Included in their subscription.
Cloud Pro and Max
Premium Claude plans have vague limitations.
Anthropic’s Claude’s paid version is in line with the competition, costing $20 per month and featuring a 5x usage boost per session versus the free version during peak hours, though The borders still exist. Basically, if you send basic queries of up to 200 sentences in English, each of which is about 15 to 20 words, you will be able to send about 45 messages every 5 hours with Claude Pro.
Despite earning the top spot on our best chat software list, Anthropic’s pricing page for Claude’s Pro and Max plans seems a bit dry compared to the others on the list. The first feature of the $20 Pro plan with “More Usage” is immediately followed by an asterisk indicating Boundaries are in place For professional plans. Such limitations are to be expected for anything that isn’t the best plan, but it seems to depend on how you use Claude. In addition to more usage, the Pro plan will unlock Claude Code, unlimited projects, access to research mode and more templates.
The Max plan offers more usage than the Pro plan, increases output limits for all tasks, provides priority access during peak traffic times and provides early access to new Claude features. This outcrop will probably be useful to Claude’s power users out there and costs $100 per person per month.
Your puppy
Grok is the most expensive chatbot ever.
Grok’s premium tiers are the most expensive for personal use, either on a monthly or annual basis. The first premium tier, SuperGrok, will increase access to both Grok 3 and 4, expand token limits to 128,000, give you priority voice access, and include the Imagine image model. It costs $30 a month, or $300 for a year. This level also unlocks access to Ani and Valentine AI buddies.
The next level is SuperGrok Heavy, which is mostly “more” than what you get from SuperGrok for $300 a month or $3,000 a year. This tier will give you preview access to Grok 4 Heavy, expand access to Grok 4, and provide unlimited access to Grok 3. SuperGrok Heavy has a higher number of tokens and early access to new features.
