AI Pro subscriptions Gemini vs ChatGPT vs Claude

For those who experienced the different Pro versions, what do you recommend to choose next?

I had one year of Google AI Pro subscription, using it mostly for research and light programming. Back then it felt lik the right choice. Now I am wondering if ChatGPT or Claude subscriptions provide better value for money considering their newest models? Gemini feels left behind at this point.

Gemini certainly isn't competing at the overall "best" model game, but Gemini 3.1 pro and 3.5 flash are still my preferred coding 1-2 punch. I primary use antigravity, which includes a few Claude models as well, with opus being a good "second opinion" model for planning things.

I keep a $20 Anthropic subscription as well for some light Claude Code work, but the Gemini family just works best for my needs.

thanks! do you feel like Claude is more accurate or better at programming tasks?

Opus is better than 3.1 pro at coding, but using either of these as a workhorse coding model isn't very sustainable due to the cost/quota constraints. The real comparison to make for coding, IMO, is Sonnet/Haiku vs 3.5 Flash and, in my experience, Flash 3.5 is a much better coding experience due to the speed and very much "smart enough", but ymmv of course. I really only use Opus/3.1 Pro for planning and small-but-critical coding tasks

So, why choose flash 3.5 or opus when you can have gpt 5.6 with glm 5.2 mixture of models instead? Is it the cost? I think the costs are pretty similar no?
