ChatGPT’s free plan offers unlimited text but limits file uploads, image creation, voice conversations, deep research and memory. Paid plans start at Go 1,400 ¥/month, Plus 3,000 ¥ and Pro 16,800 ¥. Gemini’s free tier routes to a lighter Flash‑Lite model and has no free API tier; paid plans begin at AI Plus 725 ¥, AI Pro 2,900 ¥ and AI Ultra 14,500 ¥. Claude’s free tier includes the Sonnet 5.5 model, web search, file creation, code execution, memory across conversations and app connections; paid plans start at Pro $20 and Max $100+. Meta’s Muse is free in Japan. The article notes that free Gemini may switch to a lighter model and that free ChatGPT limits non‑text features.\n\nThe review compares pricing, free‑tier capabilities and new agent‑style features that let users delegate tasks. It highlights how each model’s strengths—ChatGPT’s unlimited text, Gemini’s Google‑service integration and Claude’s long‑task handling—can fit different workflows.\n\nThe author recommends trying multiple AIs to see which best suits a user’s needs, noting that free tiers vary widely and that paid plans differ in cost and feature set.","keyPoints":["ChatGPT free plan offers unlimited text but limits file uploads, images, voice, deep research and memory.","Gemini free tier routes to lighter Flash‑Lite model and has no free API tier.","Claude free tier includes Sonnet 5.5, web search, file creation, code execution, and app connections."],"whyItMatters":"The shift to agent‑style features lets users delegate tasks, reducing manual effort.
