Do you need ChatGPT, Claude AND Gemini?

A plain-English look at the overlap in your AI chat assistants, and how to decide which one to keep.
ChatGPT PlusClaude ProGemini Advanced

The short answer

Bottom line: For almost everyone, no. Each is a $20/month general-purpose AI chatbot and the day-to-day overlap is huge. Power users who orchestrate models keep more than one on purpose; most people pay for two or three and only ever open one.

What's actually different

Claude tends to write the most natural text and strongest code; ChatGPT is the most versatile with the best voice mode; Gemini is best at live web facts via Google. Real, but rarely worth $40–60/month combined for a casual user.

Which one to keep

Pick the one you actually open most this week and cancel the others. You can re-subscribe to a second in any month you have a specific need (a big coding push, heavy research) — it's month-to-month.
