How to read this table
Prices are US prices for monthly billing, before tax, copied from each vendor’s official pricing page or help center on the date shown. Feature filters apply to the assistant as a whole (for example “Image upload” means the assistant accepts images), not necessarily to every plan. Team and business plans are hidden by default; untick “Individual plans only” to see them. When a price could not be confirmed on an official page, it shows “Not verified”.
Deciding between two specific assistants? Read Claude vs ChatGPT, Gemini vs ChatGPT or ChatGPT Go vs Plus, or take the “Which AI is best?” quiz.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an AI assistant subscription cost?
Most consumer AI assistants have a free plan and a main paid tier around $20 per month in the US. Entry plans start lower: Google's Google AI Plus at $4.99/mo, Mistral's Pro at $14.99/mo, and top tiers reach $200 or more per month for heavy users. This table lists 36 individual paid plans with their official price and the date we checked it.
Which AI assistants are completely free?
13 of the 13 assistants in this table have a free plan: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Microsoft Copilot, Grok, Le Chat, Meta AI, Poe, Qwen Chat, Kimi, Duck.ai. DeepSeek and Qwen Chat publish no paid consumer plan at all. Free plans come with lower usage limits and usually exclude the most capable models or features such as deep research; the plan details in the table spell out each limit.
Why do AI prices differ between countries?
Vendors set regional prices and taxes, and some plans are only sold in certain countries. Google, for example, shows different prices and storage on its US and European pages. All prices on this page are US prices for monthly billing, before tax, as published on the official US pages on the date shown in each row.
Is annual billing cheaper?
Often, yes. Several vendors discount yearly billing; for example Claude Pro is cheaper per month when paid annually, and Perplexity and Kimi publish yearly prices too. When a vendor publishes an annual price, the table shows the effective monthly cost under the monthly price. Annual plans are usually paid up front and refunds vary by vendor.
