I cancelled ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini — Claude does everything I need

If you’re looking at your monthly expenses and feel that your AI subscriptions are getting out of hand, you’re not alone. I thought I’d never pay for AI again when I started using local LLMs, but cloud-based AI companies keep releasing features that keep them ahead of their local counterparts, and if you want to use them, you’ll have to buy that $20 subscription.

As a result, I ended up with multiple AI subscriptions, each filling its own distinct gap. ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, they all had their uses, until I decided to scrap all my subscriptions except one. And that’s because Claude does everything I need.
