Which $20 plan? For coding and long agent tasks, Claude Pro, which includes Claude Code. For the broadest set of tools, ChatGPT Plus. For the most storage and Google's apps, Google AI Pro, which also covers NotebookLM and video in Google Flow. For Office users, Microsoft 365 Premium. For cited web research across several labs' models, Perplexity Pro. Rankings that back these picks are on Best AI Chatbot and AI Leaderboards. In an Aug 12, 2026 video, after paying for all three for a month, Parker Prompts reached a similar split: Google AI Pro for value and range, ChatGPT Plus for images and predictable limits, and Claude Pro for writing, work on your own files and coding, despite its tighter limits.

| Plan | Price | What stands out |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT Pro 200 | $200 a month | More usage than Pro 100, GPT-6 Pro reasoning, Dot agent, monthly API credits; Ultrafast only on Pro 500 ($500) |
| Claude Ultra | $200 | 10 times Pro usage a week, no 5-hour limit on verified accounts, Fable up to half the weekly limit, $200 a month in API credits |

| Perplexity Max | $167 billed yearly | 10,000 Computer credits a month, highest limits, frontier models |
All five include monthly credits or usage pools rather than unlimited use; each maker's page lists the limits. A $100 middle step exists at OpenAI (Pro 100), Anthropic (Max), Google (Ultra 5x, $99.99) and SpaceXSI (Super). In a Sep 1, 2026 video, Eric Michaud pointed out that Claude's higher plans, then Max at $100 and $200, differed from Pro mainly in usage and in priority access at busy times.
