The same dataset powering this page — queryable via REST API and MCP server. Build pricing, comparison, switching cost, or metering features into your own product without scraping. Updated weekly. Free tier for non-commercial use.

Built for:

  • Pricing comparison widgets — show live AI plan pricing inside your own app or marketing site
  • Switching cost calculators — answer "if I switch from Claude Pro to ChatGPT Plus, what changes?" with structured data
  • Metering and billing estimates — calculate effective per-message cost based on plan caps + usage
  • Breakeven analysis — when does subscription beat API for a given workload? Compute it programmatically
  • Internal procurement tooling — automate AI plan evaluations for IT teams

Frequently asked questions.

Should I get Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus?

Both are $20/month. Claude Pro fits writers, researchers, and analysts who value Claude's longer-form reasoning and Projects feature; ChatGPT Plus fits buyers who want image generation (DALL-E + Sora preview), broader plugin ecosystem, and voice mode. If you only pick one, choose based on which model's output you prefer for your most frequent task — try both Free tiers first. Most builders end up subscribing to both within 6 months.

What's the cheapest AI subscription that includes Claude Opus 4.7?

Claude Pro at $20/month is the cheapest direct way to get Claude Opus 4.7. Perplexity Pro ($20/mo) also includes Claude Opus 4.7 access alongside GPT-5 and Gemini 3.1 Pro, but with usage routed through Perplexity's interface. For developers, GitHub Copilot Pro ($10/mo) is the cheapest plan that includes Claude Opus 4.7 via the Copilot Chat model picker.

When does an API plan beat a subscription?

Subscriptions are cost-effective for predictable individual usage up to the plan caps. APIs become cheaper when usage is bursty, very low, or specifically token-bounded (like running short evals or background tasks). Rough heuristic: if you're using the model fewer than ~10 hours/month, API will likely be cheaper; over ~30 hours/month, subscription wins for most plans. Use our LLM Cost Calculator to model the API side, and this page for subscription caps.

Which AI subscription has the best video generation?

Google AI Ultra ($250/month) includes full Veo 3 video access — currently the top-ranked text-to-video model on the Video Arena leaderboard. ChatGPT Pro ($200/month) includes Sora Pro for video. For more affordable video access, ChatGPT Plus and Gemini Advanced each include limited Sora preview / Veo 3 access at the $20/month tier.

Can I use the subscription data API in my product?

Yes — the API is built specifically to be embedded in third-party products. Free tier for non-commercial use; paid tier for production apps with higher rate limits and SLA. Use cases include pricing comparison widgets, switching cost calculators, AI procurement tools, and metering features. Join the waitlist above to get notified at launch and to influence which features ship first.

How often is the data updated?

Weekly review against vendor pricing pages. Major changes (price hikes, new tier launches, model swaps) are typically caught within 7 days. The API will expose a "last_verified" timestamp on every plan record so consumers can show freshness in their own UIs.

Do you maintain historical pricing?

Pricing trends are a planned feature on the API (not yet exposed). Once the data archive has enough history (Q4 2026 target), we'll add endpoints to query historical plan pricing — useful for switching-cost-over-time analysis and price-elasticity research.

What's the difference between Claude Max, ChatGPT Pro, and Google AI Ultra?

All three are premium individual tiers at $100–$250/month. Claude Max ($100–200) gives you 5× or 20× Pro caps with the same Claude models. ChatGPT Pro ($200) unlocks GPT-5 Pro mode (xhigh reasoning, INTEL 60) plus Sora Pro video and the Operator agent. Google AI Ultra ($250) bundles full Veo 3 video, Imagen 4 Ultra, Project Astra agent, and 30TB storage. Pick by what you'll actually use: Claude Max for reasoning depth, ChatGPT Pro for the agent + frontier reasoning, Ultra for video/image creation.

Are coding subscriptions like Cursor and Copilot different from "AI subscriptions"?

Slightly different audience but same category. Coding subscriptions (Cursor, Copilot, Replit, Claude Code) are bundled with developer-tool features — IDE integration, code completion, multi-file edits, deployment infrastructure — that general subscriptions don't offer. We surface them in the "Builder Tools" tier above so devs can compare them alongside general subscriptions when deciding where their AI budget should go.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes for nearly all plans tracked here — they're standard month-to-month or annual subscriptions that can be canceled from the vendor's billing settings. Enterprise plans typically have contract commitments; check the vendor terms. Always verify on the vendor's billing page before purchasing.

Spot incorrect pricing or missing plan?

We verify every plan weekly, but vendors change fast. Submit a correction — we review and update within 7 days.
