Claude Pro vs Gemini (Google AI Pro)
Every number below comes from the vendor's own pricing page, linked next to it. Last checked 2026-10-19. Where a vendor doesn't publish a limit, we say so.
Both only publish multipliers, not message counts (Claude: at least 5x Free per 5-hour session; Google: 4x Free).
Pick Google AI Pro ($19.99/mo) if you want the extras: 5 TB storage, $10/mo Google Cloud credits and a 1 million token context window.
Pick Claude Pro ($20/mo, $17 annual) if you code: Claude Code is included (shared pool), while limits for Antigravity on AI Pro aren't published.
