AskGPT App Reviews: I Replaced ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, and Gemini with One Tool

The whole “all-in-one AI platform” thing sounded like BS when I first heard about it. Still kinda does honestly.

But here’s the situation. I’m three months into using AskGPT and I cancelled my ChatGPT Plus subscription last week. Also dumped Claude Pro. Still thinking about whether I actually need that Gemini Advanced thing I signed up for during some late-night productivity binge.

Not saying AskGPT is perfect. It’s not. But the math is stupid simple: one subscription gets you access to ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini models. Same interface. No tab switching. Around $20-25 monthly depending on which plan.

Compare that to paying for each separately. Yeah.

Anyway, people keep asking me about this on Twitter so figured I’d write something more detailed than “it’s fine I guess.”

The Three Second Pitch

You want ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. You don’t want to pay $60+ monthly for separate subscriptions. You also don’t want seventeen browser tabs open.

That’s AskGPT.

Done.

Why I Actually Started Using This Thing

Okay so my original problem was dumb but relatable. I’d be writing something in ChatGPT. Get an answer that’s too corporate-sounding. Switch to Claude’s site. Re-explain the entire context because it’s a new conversation. Get a better answer. Then maybe try Gemini for fact-checking because why not.

This workflow sucked. I was spending more time explaining context to different AIs than actually getting work done.

Someone mentioned AskGPT app reviews in some Reddit thread about AI tools. Downloaded it expecting nothing. Interface looked basic but whatever.

Started a conversation with ChatGPT about debugging some Python thing. The code explanation was fine but too verbose. Clicked a button that says “Switch to Claude.” Same conversation. Claude gave me the same info in like half the sentences.

That button might be the most valuable feature I’ve paid for in software this year. I know that sounds dramatic but the amount of time it saves is ridiculous.

Real example from yesterday: Working on a client proposal. Used ChatGPT to structure it because ChatGPT is weirdly good at formal structure. Output was professional but sounded like a law firm wrote it. Switched to Claude, same chat, said “make this sound human.” Boom. Done. Client loved it.

Took maybe 90 seconds total including the model switch.

Things Nobody Mentions in Reviews But Actually Matter

The conversation history thing is lowkey brilliant. Everything you’ve ever asked any of the AI models lives in one searchable interface.

I search “React hooks bug” and pull up conversations from two weeks ago where I was fighting with useEffect. Doesn’t matter if I originally asked ChatGPT or Claude, it’s all there.

When I was juggling separate subscriptions? I’d lose conversations constantly. “Wait, did I ask ChatGPT about this or was it Claude?” Then I’d just ask again and waste time.

Also the mobile experience doesn’t suck, which feels noteworthy given how many SaaS platforms completely punt on mobile.

Been using the app on my phone for like a month. It’s fine. Not amazing, just fine, which is honestly better than I expected. Sometimes I’m waiting somewhere random and need to ask an AI something. I just pull out my phone instead of waiting until I’m back at my laptop.

The small quality of life stuff adds up.

Where It Gets Complicated

Here’s where I have to be honest about limitations because otherwise this reads like a sponsored post and it’s definitely not.

Missing features: You don’t get image generation. No DALL-E, no Midjourney integration, nothing. This is text-only AI access. If you need images, you’ll still need another tool.

Model versions are unclear: The app doesn’t tell you exactly which version of ChatGPT or Claude you’re talking to. Usually doesn’t matter but sometimes you want the absolute newest model with latest training data. Native platforms get updates faster.

It crashes occasionally: Maybe once every couple weeks the app just closes mid-conversation. Mobile app mostly. Lost a conversation thread last week that was actually useful. Annoying but not frequent enough to quit over.

No advanced features: ChatGPT has custom GPTs and the whole plugin ecosystem. Claude has that Artifacts feature for code. Gemini does the Google Workspace integration thing. None of that exists in AskGPT. You’re getting access to the core chat models, nothing extra.

The question becomes: do you actually use those features?

I thought I’d miss custom GPTs. Realized I’d only used them maybe twice ever. The Artifacts thing in Claude is cool but I can just copy code into VSCode. The Gemini integrations… okay I never really used those at all.

Your situation might be different. If you’re deep into the ChatGPT plugin ecosystem or built custom GPTs you rely on, AskGPT probably isn’t for you.

For me? Trading those features for model flexibility and better pricing was worth it.

The Pricing Math That Made Me Switch

ChatGPT Plus: $20/month Claude Pro: $20/month Gemini Advanced: $20/month

Total if you want all three: $60 monthly. $720 per year.

AskGPT: ~$25/month (I think? check their site, pricing probably changed). Approximately $300 yearly.

Saving $400+ per year on software I use daily feels significant. That’s a new monitor. Or a decent chair. Or just not spending money unnecessarily.

The argument against this: maybe you don’t need all three models. Fair. If you’re happy with just ChatGPT, keep ChatGPT Plus. It’s a polished experience.

But if you’re like me and you find yourself wanting different AI perspectives for different tasks, consolidating makes sense.

Some people use Poe for this. Tried Poe for a month. Interface was chaotic, too many model options, and honestly didn’t work better than AskGPT despite costing the same. Your experience might differ.

Random Observations After 3 Months

The team actually updates things. New features just appear sometimes. Found a prompt template feature last week I definitely didn’t have before. No announcement, it was just there.

Support responds quickly. Had a billing question, got an actual human response same day. This shouldn’t be notable but it is given how most SaaS companies handle support.

The UI is aggressively basic. Not ugly, not beautiful, just functional. Looks like someone designed it in Figma using default components and shipped it. Works fine, won’t win design awards.

Loading times vary wildly. Sometimes responses are instant. Sometimes there’s a 3-4 second delay for no obvious reason. Probably API latency on the backend but it’s noticeable.

I use Claude way more than I expected. Started thinking I’d primarily use ChatGPT. Turns out Claude’s writing style matches how I actually write better. Use it for probably 60% of my conversations now.

Gemini is weirdly good at research queries. Not sure why. Asked all three models about semiconductor manufacturing trends last month, Gemini gave the most current info. Consistent pattern I’ve noticed.

Who This Makes Sense For (And Who Should Skip It)

Use AskGPT if:

  • Currently paying for 2+ AI subscriptions
  • Use AI daily for actual work
  • Want model flexibility without managing multiple platforms
  • Value convenience over having every possible feature

Skip it if:

  • Only use AI casually (free tiers probably enough)
  • Rely on specific advanced features (DALL-E, custom GPTs, Artifacts)
  • Happy with your current setup

The decision is pretty straightforward honestly. If you’re spending $40+ monthly on AI tools, AskGPT probably saves you money and simplifies your workflow. If you’re not, might not be worth switching.

The Part Where I’m Still Figuring Things Out

Still don’t know which model is best for what. Some tasks are obvious—Claude for writing, ChatGPT for code structure. But others? I genuinely just try different models and see what works.

Asked all three to explain zero-knowledge proofs yesterday. ChatGPT gave a textbook explanation. Claude used metaphors that actually made sense. Gemini… honestly Gemini’s explanation was confusing. But I’ve had other topics where Gemini nailed it and ChatGPT was useless.

The ability to quickly test multiple perspectives helps. But I still spend time experimenting. Not sure if that’s inefficient or actually the smart approach.

Also haven’t hit any message limits yet, which either means the limits are generous or I’m not using it as much as I think. Send probably 40-50 messages most days across various projects. No warnings, no throttling, nothing.

Either the advertised limits are conservative or enforcement is loose. Don’t know which. Not complaining though.

Three Months Later

Still using it. That’s probably the most honest review I can give.

Haven’t resubscribed to ChatGPT Plus. Thought about it twice when I wanted to use DALL-E, ended up using Midjourney instead. Don’t miss Claude Pro at all since I get Claude through AskGPT anyway.

The workflow stuck. Open AskGPT, work through my day using whichever AI model makes sense for each task, close it when done. Simple.

Not sure if I’ll still be using it in six months. Maybe something better comes along. Maybe the pricing changes and stops making sense. Maybe I go back to separate subscriptions for reasons I can’t predict right now.

But for now? Yeah, it works. Solves the exact problem I had without creating new ones. That’s about the best you can hope for with productivity tools.

If you’re curious, try it for a month. Most people figure out pretty quickly if it fits their workflow or not. I figured it out in like three days.
