Have you paid for each service to test it? Because i think most AI has its flaws in the free tier. Gemini especially in thinking mode is quite decent, but you have limited prompts there only. The fast mode is ok for as long you don't chain to many prompts together. I guess Gemini Pro will be alot better as well.

Is claude usable for a little coding in the free tier? i really have to check claude out again! =) AI is changing completly every x months. A while ago claude was nothing special at all.
