How to choose
- You live in Gmail, Docs and Android: Gemini fits right into tools you already use.
- You write a lot (leases, letters, listings) or use Microsoft 365: Claude is a strong pick, and its Pro plan connects to Microsoft 365.
- Either way, try both free plans on the same real task and keep the one you like.
