AI subscription cost calculator

How the calculator works

Most people who use several AI assistants pay for each one separately. Tick the subscriptions you pay for below, adjust any price to match your own bill, and the calculator adds up your monthly and yearly total and compares it with Quad Chat's Go, Pro and Ultra plans. The prices pre-filled are typical list prices from the plans' public pages as used in our own pricing notes: ChatGPT Plus $20/month, Claude Pro $20/month, Gemini Advanced $20/month. They are a starting point only: check your own bill, because regional prices, taxes, promotions and plan changes all move the number.

Your subscriptions versus Quad

Everything is calculated in your browser; nothing you enter is sent anywhere. Tick the subscriptions you pay for (ChatGPT Plus $20, Claude Pro $20, Gemini Advanced $20 by default, all editable) and compare the total with Go at $8/month, Pro at $15/month or $156/year billed yearly, Ultra at $40/month or $408/year billed yearly. With all three default subscriptions the total is $60/month ($720/year).

A worked example: ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro and Gemini Advanced

Ultra: Monthly $40, Billed yearly $408/year, Saving per month $20, Saving per year (monthly billing) $240.

What this comparison does not tell you

Honest caveats before you cancel anything: Quad Chat gives you other companies' models in Quad Chat's own workspace, not their native apps. Features that exist only inside a provider's own app or account, such as its proprietary tools, integrations and perks, are not part of Quad Chat. Usage is measured differently. Quad Chat plans have a flat price and a shared monthly credit balance, so heavy use of expensive models can use credits quickly. A provider's own subscription has its own limits that we cannot see. Prices are typical list prices and may differ by country, tax, promotion or plan version. Edit the numbers to match what you actually pay. Savings only count if Quad Chat covers what you really use. Try the Free plan first (100 credits a month, no credit card) before cancelling anything. Paying Quad Chat yearly is up to 15% less than paying monthly; the calculator shows both.
