Our take
Gemini's edge is where it lives. If you use Gmail, Docs and an Android phone, it's already one tap away, and Google AI Pro is strong value because it also covers 5 TB of storage. Ultra is for power users who need the top models and video tools.
Gemini alternatives
ChatGPT: the most complete all-round assistant.
Claude: strong writing and coding.
Microsoft Copilot: the pick for Microsoft 365 users.
