How It Works
This calculator evaluates your inputs against three factors:
- Budget fit — filters plans within your monthly spending limit
- Use-case match — ranks providers by strength in your primary task area
- Feature requirements — eliminates providers missing features you need (image generation, voice mode, etc.)
The recommendation accounts for annual billing discounts where available. Claude Pro’s annual plan at $17/month is factored in when your budget allows.
