A $20 Claude Pro plan, maxed out by a coding agent, burns through almost $1,200 of compute a month (SemiAnalysis). Used only for chat, a $20 plan beats paying per message once you pass about 33 chats a day. So do you chat with AI, or put it to work? I compare ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro and Google AI Pro with pay-as-you-go API credit on OpenRouter, then pick where your $20 goes for chat, coding, images, video and research. If you mostly chat, the free plans are enough. If you run a coding agent, Claude Pro is the best deal. The last part covers the free routes: student offers, phone bundles, doubled limits and cancel-flow deals.

For chat, usually not. At October 2026 API list prices, $20 of pay-as-you-go buys about a thousand short exchanges with GPT-6.1 Sol or Claude Sonnet 5.5, and the free plans of ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini already run models close to the top of LMArena. A subscription pays off when an agent does the work: SemiAnalysis priced a fully used Claude Pro at about 59 times its fee and a fully used ChatGPT Plus at about 10 times. Pay-as-you-go through OpenRouter gives you hundreds of models on one key, but you lose the app around the model, including memory, voice and deep research.
