ChatGPT Plus And Gemini AI Pro Cost The Same In India: Which One Should You Buy?
Last Updated: ChatGPT and Gemini premium plans cost over Rs 1,900 per month in India but how do they compare and which one is better? ChatGPT Plus and Gemini AI Pro are two paid versions of the popular AI chatbots from OpenAI and Google, respectively. The companies have invested billions into their AI products and now looking to recoup some of that money from its consumers. And the best way to do that is to offer a package of the AI chatbots that not only unlocks the latest AI models but also bundles them with a slew of services which makes it attractive for the money people are being asked to pay. ChatGPT Plus costs Rs 1,900 per month in India, while the Gemini AI Pro version comes for Rs 1,950 per month, which makes them similar in terms of the price range. But do they offer the same set of features or does OpenAI have more in the bank than a giant like Google? We've decided to do this comparison and help you out with the details. ChatGPT Plus vs Gemini AI Pro Price In India ChatGPT Plus is priced at Rs 1,900 which has to be paid every month. Google is charging Rs 1,950 per month for the Gemini AI Pro plan in India. Earlier it used to be called the Gemini Advanced plan. Besides these you also get support for voice conversations, image generation (using DALL-E), File uploads and analysis, Deep Research tools (where available) and Custom GPT creation. People have been appealed by these features because their other options were limited. But Google Gemini AI Pro takes the Plus model head on and delivers a more compelling set of benefits. Here's what you get from Google: And recently, Google announced that the Veo 3 AI model let you generate 10 videos with native audio support if you take the Gemini AI Pro plan. Granted, both these AI chatbot plans have certain limits but that is expected when you pay under Rs 2,000 per month to access the latest and powerful AI models from these companies. And that's why they have another premium tier plan called the ChatGPT Pro and the Gemini Ultra that gives you all the Plus/Pro features but opens up the AI models to a whole new playground for the users.
