Gemini Plus vs. ChatGPT Go: Which AI subscription is better?

Google is joining the affordable AI market with its new Gemini AI Plus subscription, directly competing with OpenAI’s ChatGPT Go. Thus, AI tools will become more accessible to millions of users, especially in growing markets like India and Indonesia.

Google offers an assistant that works closely with the apps you already use. OpenAI provides a flexible tool you can customize for specific tasks. The choice isn’t that simple anymore.

Which subscription gives you better value? Is Google’s integration more useful than OpenAI’s customization? Let’s look at what both Gemini AI Plus and ChatGPT Go offer to help you decide which fits your needs.

Google and OpenAI target budget-conscious users

Both companies are now competing for users who want AI tools but don’t want to pay premium prices. This is especially noticeable in emerging markets, where they’re offering competitive pricing to attract more users.

In India, ChatGPT Go costs ₹399 per month. In Indonesia, Google tested Gemini AI Plus at an introductory IDR 37,500 (about ₹200) and expects it to settle around IDR 75,000 (about ₹400). That puts it right up against ChatGPT Go’s price point.

What Google offers with Gemini AI Plus

Google has launched Gemini AI Plus as a paid subscription that improves on its free services. This plan competes with OpenAI’s offerings at a lower price, with faster processing, better memory for complex conversations, and integration with Google’s ecosystem.

What OpenAI offers with ChatGPT Go

ChatGPT Go is OpenAI’s lower‑cost option for users who want stronger features without paying for the top tier. It includes quick image generation, tools for analyzing data and documents, and support for custom GPTs so you can build personal assistants tuned to your workflow.

Features compared

• Core models: Gemini AI Plus gives you access to Gemini 2.5 Pro for advanced features and faster processing. ChatGPT Go provides extended access to OpenAI’s latest model, GPT‑5, for powerful and more personalized responses.
• Creative tools: Gemini AI Plus includes limited use of Veo 3, which can create 8‑second, 1080p videos with audio from text or image prompts. ChatGPT Go focuses on static visuals with fast image generation tools.
• Advanced functions: Gemini AI Plus includes Deep Research, the Flow AI filmmaking tool, and Notebook LLM. ChatGPT Go leans into customization with support for custom GPTs and features for deeper data and document analysis.
• Ecosystem and storage: Gemini Plus comes with 200 GB of Google One storage and works closely with Google apps. ChatGPT Go works more on its own, focusing on flexibility and personalization rather than storage or connecting with other productivity tools.

Two different approaches to AI

Gemini Plus works right inside Google apps like Gmail and Drive. If you already use these tools, you can just stay in them and use AI without switching to something else.

ChatGPT Go is more of a standalone tool. You can shape it to fit your needs and make custom AI helpers for specific jobs, like looking through documents or writing code.

If you use Google Workspace a lot (like many students and office workers do), Gemini Plus probably makes more sense. It fits right into Gmail and Drive, and you get 200 GB of storage too. It simply adds AI to tools you’re already using.

ChatGPT Go might work better if you need AI that you can customize. It’s good at making images quickly, analyzing data, and letting you build your own AI tools. This makes it useful when you need AI that’s tailored to specific tasks.
