LazySusan vs separate AI subscriptions

What one workspace replaces, and where it doesn’t

Most people who rely on AI end up paying more than one company. A chat assistant here, an image tool there, a video app for the occasional project. This piece looks at what that costs, what a single workspace changes, and when separate subscriptions still make sense.

Monthly cost

At standard US prices, ChatGPT Plus is $20 a month, Claude Pro $20, Google AI Pro $19.99, Perplexity Pro $20 and SuperGrok $30. Three of those already come to about $60. LazySusan Pro is $19 a month and Starter is $8, with usage measured in tokens across every model.

edge: LazySusan

Range of tools

Separate subscriptions give you one company’s models each. LazySusan puts chat models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek and Perplexity next to image, video and voice models, so you can use the right one for each part of a job.

edge: LazySusan

One place to work

Switching between several apps means several histories, settings pages and bills. In LazySusan, conversations, images and videos sit in one workspace with one balance.

edge: LazySusan

New models

When providers release major models through their APIs, we add them to the workspace. You don’t need to sign up for anything new.

edge: LazySusan

Heavy use of a single model

If you spend all day inside one model, that provider’s own plan can be better value, because LazySusan usage is metered in tokens rather than unlimited. Separate subscriptions also give you each provider’s own app features.
