Claude Max 5x vs Google AI Ultra 5x: choose Claude Max 5x if you are willing to spend $100. Measured on Claude Max 5x, one pass of our fixed task set fits about 240 tasks a week with Claude Fable 5.1. Both cost the same $100/mo.Measured
Our verdict
Choose Claude Max 5x if you are willing to spend $100. Opus 5.5 and Fable give you top models for planning and hard work. Google has no equivalent model right now.
Google AI Ultra 5x costs the same and includes the wider Google bundle, but it does not win this comparison.
$100 gives Opus 5.5 five times the Pro allowance. Opus 5.5 is light enough on the limit to keep several agents running through the day. Fable is included for the hardest planning, but Opus 5.5 now covers most of it. Move here when the Pro limit stops you.
Pros
Five times the Pro allowance
Room for several Opus 5.5 agents
Sonnet 5.5 for smaller things and simple tasks
Fable for the hardest planning
Cons
Pro covers most single-agent days for $80 less
Best for People who keep hitting the Claude Pro limit. Start on Pro first.
How far it goes: at least 15 times a week, and more than 100 for the cheapest model
Our whole real-world issues and spec planning pass runs at least 15 times a week, and more than 100 for the cheapest model on this plan, depending on which model you run.
That works out at about under 23c to $1.84 of the subscription per run, at the list price.
Measured on this plan, at <1% to 8%/1w of its allowance per run. A share belongs to the plan it was measured on, so we never subtract one plan's from another's.
$100 buys more Gemini usage and a larger Google bundle. It does not improve Antigravity or the available models. Start with the $20 AI Pro plan and upgrade only if its usage limit blocks your work.
Pros
More Gemini usage
A larger Google services bundle
Cons
The same rough Antigravity agent
The same models as the $20 plan
Best for Google AI Pro users blocked by its usage limit.
How far it goes: we have not measured this plan
Same Antigravity CLI as AI Pro with a bigger allowance - the AI Pro scorecards are the closest evidence.
