Tips: how to compare correctly
6 tips
Avoid
- Expecting a fixed number of messages - most assistants use dynamic limits that change with load and model
- Paying for two assistants with the same features instead of one plan that covers your tasks
- Judging a plan by the model name alone - limits, files and deep research differ between plans
Where to start
- Start with the free plan of two assistants and upgrade the one you use more
- Web answers with sources: compare Perplexity with the search mode of ChatGPT or Gemini
- Long documents and writing: compare Claude and Gemini plans
Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate the cost of ai chat assistants?
We take your workload, convert it into the unit each plan actually counts (seconds, credits, channels, runs, conversations, characters), check the included quota and hard limits, add known overage packs and list external costs we cannot price. Unknown prices are never shown as zero.
Why are some totals marked "at least" or "incomplete"?
Because part of the cost is unknown: a price on request, a price that needs re-checking, or external costs such as hosting, model API usage or telephony. We show the known part and name what is missing.
Can I compare credits between different services?
No. Credits of different vendors are different units. We only compare the total cost of the same workload.
