I Replaced ChatGPT, Claude AND Gemini With One App

$60/Month for AI Was Getting Ridiculous

At my peak AI spending, I was subscribed to ChatGPT Plus ($20/month), Claude Pro ($20/month), and Gemini Advanced ($20/month). Sixty dollars per month. Seven hundred and twenty dollars a year. For chat apps.

The annoying part is that I actually used all three. ChatGPT for quick tasks and conversation. Claude for writing feedback and analysis. Gemini for anything involving images or Google integration. Each one was good at specific things, and I'd switch between them depending on the task.

But $60/month was too much. I kept thinking there had to be a better way.

How I Found Out About Aggregators

A friend mentioned they were using something called an AI aggregator, one subscription that gives you access to multiple models. I was skeptical. In my experience, "all-in-one" tools usually mean "mediocre at everything." But he showed me his setup, and I was surprised.

He was using Admix. Same models I was paying $60/month for, accessible from one interface, for $10/month. I assumed there was a catch. There kind of isn't.

The Switch

I signed up for the free plan first. 20 free credits per day across basic models. I ran my usual daily tasks through it for a week: wrote some emails with GPT, analyzed a document with Claude, checked some image-based content with Gemini. Everything worked as expected.

The responses were the same quality as the individual apps. Why would they be different? It's the same underlying models accessed through the same APIs. The only difference is the interface you're using to reach them.

After a week, I upgraded to the Starter plan ($10/month, or $8/month billed annually) to get access to all 350+ AI models and 500 monthly credits. Then I canceled ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, and Gemini Advanced. My AI spending went from $60/month to $10/month overnight.

What I Gained

More Models

This was unexpected. With three separate subscriptions, I had access to about 8 models total (GPT-5, GPT-4o, Claude Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, Gemini Ultra, Pro, Flash). With Admix, I have 350+ models across multiple providers. I've tried models from Mistral, DeepSeek, Meta, and others that I never would have accessed otherwise.

DeepSeek R1 is now my go-to for math and logic problems. Mistral is great for multilingual content. These are models I wouldn't have known about if I was still locked into three separate providers.

Better Model Selection

When you have every model in one interface, you naturally start matching models to tasks. Before, I used whatever app was already open. Now I pick the best model for each task because it's just a dropdown menu away.

The quality of my AI outputs has actually improved since switching, not because the models are different, but because I'm using the right model for each task instead of defaulting to whatever's convenient.

$600 a year in savings

$60 a month minus $10 is $50 saved. Over a year, that's $600. It is not life-changing, but I would rather keep it.

What I Lost

I want to be honest about the tradeoffs.

Custom GPTs

I had a few custom GPTs set up in ChatGPT for recurring tasks: one for meeting notes, one for code review, and one for email drafting. These don't exist in Admix. I replaced them with saved prompts that I paste at the start of relevant conversations. It's slightly less convenient but functionally equivalent.

Claude's Projects Feature

I used Claude Projects to keep context for an ongoing research project. Admix doesn't have an equivalent feature. I work around this by starting conversations with a context dump at the beginning. Not ideal for very large projects, but fine for my needs.

The Polished Mobile Experience

ChatGPT's mobile app is really well designed. Admix's mobile experience (through the browser) works but isn't as smooth. If you use AI primarily on your phone, this might matter to you. For me, 90% of my AI use is on desktop, so it's a minor inconvenience.

Four Months Later

I've been on Admix for four months now. I haven't re-subscribed to any individual AI service. The things I "lost" turned out to be minor inconveniences, not real problems. The things I gained, more models, better model selection, lower costs, are genuine daily improvements.

The biggest change is psychological. I no longer feel locked into one AI provider. If OpenAI releases something amazing next month, I'll have access to it through Admix. If Anthropic's next model is a breakthrough, same thing. I'm not betting on a single company anymore.

Should You Switch?

If you're paying for more than one AI subscription, the answer is almost certainly yes. The math is simple: one subscription that includes everything is cheaper than multiple subscriptions for individual providers.

If you're paying for exactly one AI subscription and you're happy with it, the case is weaker. Switching from a $20 plan to Starter saves $10 a month and gives you access to a much larger model catalog, but you may lose provider-specific features.

If you're on free tiers only, there's no immediate cost savings, but Admix's free plan gives you access to multiple models instead of being limited to one provider's free offering.

The free plan is the easy way to test it. No credit card, 20 free credits per day, try it for a week. If it works for you like it worked for me, cancel your other subscriptions and enjoy the savings.
