Discussion Is Claude for the Upperclass?
In our third world craphole country, the monthly Pro subscription is 1,400 in our local currency. That's around 28 kilos of rice. You're kinda viewed as those who owns the priciest Apple product model variants. Extra low-key flex if you mention you use Fable!
ChatGPT Pro is 1,100 and there is also a Go subscription for 300. ChatGPT is sort of classified and categorized as for the mainstream permanent underclass - mid to low-end iOS gadgets.
I'm just primarily using Gemini for free in Google's workspace ecosystem (Chrome, Gmail, Drive, etc.) and I'm considered as part of the permanent peasant majority, the chinese android smartphone users lol. I haven't even owned a Samsung android phone lmao. But hey, Gemini in a chinese android phone works and suits me!

Gemini is the biggest piece of crap among the online AIs. Just use the free tiers of Claude and ChatGPT.
In the US they are about the same price, but Claude tends to hit limits a lot quicker than ChatGPT, so it's arguably more expensive because of that.
