Google AI Pro vs Claude Pro
Short answer. Google AI Pro costs $19.99 and Claude Pro $20 a month, so price does not decide it. Claude Pro gets you Claude Code and Claude Opus 5.5, which scores 58 on the AA Intelligence Index. Google AI Pro gets you Jules and Antigravity with Gemini 4 Argon (50), plus $10 a month of Google Cloud credit. Only Claude Pro can be billed annually, at $16.67 a month. For hard agent work the index gap favours Claude Pro; Google AI Pro suits you if you already work in Antigravity or on Google Cloud.
