3 chatbots = up to $720 a year

ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro and Google AI Pro each list around $20 a month. Most people use one.

1. Keep one paid chatbot

They overlap on 80% of everyday tasks. Dropping two plans saves $240–$480 a year.

2. Free tiers = second opinion

Use the free versions of the others for a quick cross-check.

3. Annual only after 3 months

Annual saves ~15–20%, but only if you use it at least 3 times a week.

4. Cancel between projects

No cancellation fee on monthly plans. Skip slow months and resubscribe.

5. You may already pay for AI

Some Google One and Microsoft 365 plans bundle Gemini or Copilot. Check before buying.

6–7. Skip the $200 tier, run AI locally

Top tiers are for daily power users. Free local models handle small jobs.
