The stack most people accidentally build

SubscriptionMonthlyActually used weekly?
ChatGPT Plus$20Yes — daily
Claude Pro$20Yes — long docs
Gemini Advanced$22Sparingly
Midjourney$30Campaigns only
Perplexity Pro$20Occasionally
Total$112/mo≈ $1,344/yr

Now the part that doesn't show on any receipt: five accounts, five sets of conversation history you can't search together, five exports in five formats, five companies holding fragments of your work, and the comparison tax — you never actually know if Claude's answer was better than the GPT-5 answer you settled for, because checking means opening a second app and pasting twice.

What consolidation changes

  • Price: $49/month for 20+ models vs $112 for five — and the trial costs nothing.
  • Comparison: one prompt, up to 8 answers side by side, with cost and latency per answer.
  • History: one searchable archive of every conversation and generation, exportable in one format.
  • Data: one DPA, zero-retention terms across all providers, one region pin instead of five policies.
  • Automation: agents that chain models — research, code, media, copy — impossible from five walled apps.

What you give up (honestly)

You lose the native apps' fringe features: ChatGPT's mobile voice app, Claude's projects UI, Midjourney's web gallery community. If you live in one of those surfaces, keep that one subscription and use Sandbox for everything else — plenty of members do exactly that, paying $69 total instead of $112. If you live in a browser tab like everyone else, you lose nothing you'll notice.
