Cheap AI Tool Subscriptions in India: ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity Compared
What the major AI subscriptions cost in India, which one to pay for, and how to keep the monthly bill sensible.
## The realistic monthly bill
Paying list price for ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro and Perplexity Pro together runs past Rs 5,500 a month. Very few people need all three.
## Which to pay for
- **ChatGPT Plus** for the best all-round assistant and the widest ecosystem of custom tools.
- **Claude Pro** for long documents and careful writing.
- **Perplexity Pro** for sourced answers with live citations.
- **Gemini Advanced** if you live inside Gmail, Docs and Drive.
## Keeping the cost down
Pick one paid assistant and one research tool. Buy them at discounted rates rather than list price, and review every quarter whether you still use both.
