Three subscriptions or one

ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, Google AI Pro at list price, September 2026, each before tax.

Together they cost $59.99 a month. llmwise Pro is $20 a month plus tax, for all three companies' top models and more in one chat. That’s access to their top models in one app, with our own published limits — not the same usage as each company’s own plan, and their apps have features ours doesn’t.
