Key Points

The author is considering switching or renewing an AI subscription and wants the best value for money compared with Perplexity PRO (nearing expiration) and Gemini via Google One.
They express concerns about recent model or product changes, including claims that Anthropic periodically reduces model usefulness and that OpenAI pricing is expensive in their location without a discounted annual plan.
They are evaluating Kimi but report community feedback about payment issues such as being charged twice and note limited public information about its subscription options.
The post asks others to recommend which AI model/company currently provides the best performance-to-cost ratio after changes across providers.

I'm planning on getting an AI subscription, I currently have Perplexity PRO where i paid a year that it's close to expire, Gemini that it's included with Google One.

I wanted to subscribe to one that will get me more performance/use for my money and i have doubts about the recent changes in some of the companies.

The main points and concerns I have are, Anthropic seems to be making their models "dumber" every now and then, reducing the use for normal users. OpenAI is expensive where I live and doesn't have a year plan that offers some kind of discount.

I was checking Kimi but lot of people says that they have problems with payments, being charged double and stuff... Also as it doesn't seem to be used that much, there isn't lots of information avaliable about the subscriptions they offer themselves.

With the current changes in all companies, what do you think it's the one that offers the best value for money?
