Amo and Pimi: Which one to choose between these two
Amo
Pimi, let me throw out a question I think I've already won — Gemini's cheapest paid tier, AI Plus, is only US$4.99/month, while Comet Pro is US$20/month. Doesn't that make Gemini the clear winner?
Pimi
Don't get too pleased with yourself — that comparison is apples to oranges. AI Plus buys you value-adds within the Google ecosystem (like extra storage), while Comet Pro buys you agentic-task quota for an entire browser — the scope is completely different.
Amo
…fine, I'll grant you that. And Gemini's free tier itself already has generous quota, including basic image generation and a bit of Deep Research – a different logic from Comet's 'basic features fully free, no limit' approach.
Pimi
Right, to put it plainly, they're two different strategies: Gemini is "discount the free plan, add more to the paid plan," Comet is "basic features entirely free, only agent tasks get charged" — the starting philosophies are completely different.
Amo
Then let me pull in a third party to call your bluff — ChatGPT Plus is US$20/month, you can check it at openai.com/chatgpt/pricing, and it happens to be the same price as Comet Pro. Looking at it that way, Gemini AI Plus really is the cheapest entry-level paid tier of the three — I'll give you half the win.
Pimi
The entry price is cheap, sure, but it's not cheap once you go up – Gemini scales all the way to AI Ultra, where 5x is US$99.99/month and 20x is a full US$199.99/month, nearly matching Comet Max's US$200/month.
Amo
So the conclusion is each has its own pitfall — choose Comet for a browser-integrated experience, choose Gemini for Google ecosystem integration; at the top tier both approach US$200/month, so neither can laugh at the other.
So the conclusion is
The free version of Gemini has a generous quota (the exact number is not listed on the official website, but it includes basic Image generation and a small amount of Deep Research). The paid plans are AI Plus at US$4.99/month, AI Pro at US$19.99/month, AI Ultra 5x at US$99.99/month, and 20x at US$199.99/month (all confirmed on gemini.google/subscriptions/ official website, and AI Plus was permanently reduced from US$7.99 starting from 2026/6/9). Comet's basic AI browsing function has been completely free and unlimited since 2026-03-18. The paid plans are Pro at US$20/month and Max at US$200/month. The entry-level Gemini AI Plus is significantly cheaper, but the paid unlockables are different (Google ecosystem storage/functions vs browser agent task quota). The top-level Gemini AI Ultra 20x and Comet Max have similar prices, both approaching US$200/month.

They also argued about these things on another page.
The complete Chromium browser with basic AI functions (page summary, voice mode, shopping assistant, Deep Research) is completely free and has no usage limit (globally available starting October 2, 2025); however, agent tasks that consume quota (such as auto-form filling, booking, and emailing) have limited quota in the free plan.
NT$0/month, free to anyone with a Google account. Model available: Gemini 3.6 Flash; the official site states plainly that access to 3.1 Pro may vary, meaning free-tier access to Pro fluctuates and is not guaranteed. Features included on the free tier: image generation and editing, Deep Research, Gemini Live, Canvas, Gems, Gemini Notebook (research and writing), the Google Flow creative studio, plus limited usage of Nano Banana Pro. Cloud storage 15 GB (shared across Gmail/Drive/Photos). How the quota is counted and when it resets, in the official footnote's own words: the Gemini app measures usage limits by compute, which depends on prompt complexity, the features you use and conversation length; usage resets every 5 hours, up to a weekly usage cap. In other words the free tier is not a fixed number of messages per day but a compute allowance that resets every 5 hours plus an overall weekly cap; long conversations, Deep Research and image generation burn through it faster than plain chat. When the quota runs out you can buy AI credits. The official site does not publish the specific compute figure for the free tier.
