Listed, not ranked

Either the provider has closed the plan to new subscribers, or we have no independent benchmark for any model it includes — usually because the provider does not say which model you get. Rather than rank them on a guess or recommend something you cannot buy, we list them with their price and source.

  • ChatGPT Pro (20x)
    GPT-6 Pro (Astra) in Chat, and GPT-6 Astra and Sol in Codex with much higher allowances
    Not ranked: closed to new subscribers
