A personal account of auditing AI subscriptions and cutting three (Perplexity, Copilot, ChatGPT) while keeping two (Claude and Gemini/Google AI Pro). The author, who covers AI tools professionally, explains that Perplexity's unique value eroded as competitors caught up on cited search, Copilot was tied to unused apps, and ChatGPT was simply outclassed by Claude. Gemini stayed primarily because of NotebookLM Plus bundled with Google AI Pro, and Claude was a clear keeper for daily use.
