Same price, side by side

Claude Pro
Based on community measurements, via wokey.ai: about $170 of API usage a week vs ChatGPT Plus about $92 (measured 2026-10-12). wokey.ai 2026-10-12
Bonus this week: OpenAI gave 2 resets (@thsottiaux 2026-10-13, @thsottiaux 2026-10-15)
How we pick
- Only official numbers from vendor pricing pages and confirmed (official or staff) reset announcements.
- Same unit test: if two vendors at a price publish usage in the same unit on the same base, the most usage per dollar wins.
- Community measurements: otherwise, if one independent source that measures real accounts covers at least 2 plans at this price, the most measured usage per dollar wins, labeled as community based.
- Otherwise: No clear winner. Resets that week are shown as context, never as a pick. Recomputed every Monday. Sponsors never affect picks.

Vendors publish these limits in different units (messages per 5 hours, multipliers like "20x Pro", or "more usage"). They are not directly comparable, and we do not convert them into tokens.
