Pricing: ChatGPT vs Google Gemini
ChatGPT's paid plans: Go USD 8 a month; Plus USD 20 a month and Pro from USD 100 a month. ChatGPT is a conversation first, and hosting a website or an app is not among the features on its pricing page.
Google Gemini's paid plans: Google AI Plus USD 4.99 a month (200 Google Flow credits); Google AI Pro USD 19.99 a month (1,000 Google Flow credits) and Google AI Ultra from USD 99.99 a month. Google's AI plans bundle the assistant with storage, Flow video credits and other Google services, so you pay for the bundle even when you need one finished result.
Credits are counted differently by each product, so run one real task in both before you decide.
