ChatGPT 5 vs Claude 4.7 Opus vs Gemini 2 — 2026 Comparison
In 2026 the personal AI subscription market boils down to three players: OpenAI with ChatGPT 5, Anthropic with Claude Opus 4.7 and Google with Gemini 2 Advanced. All three cost $20/month for consumers, but they deliver very different things depending on the task — and none of them work natively from Russia, for different reasons.

Where each one wins
ChatGPT 5 — the all-rounder
ChatGPT 5 is the best "everything in one": text, code, voice, video via Sora 2, images via GPT-Image, plus plugins and custom GPTs. Reasoning ("o" mode) is noticeably more accurate than the others on math tasks. Pick it if you want one AI for everything.
Claude Opus 4.7 — for text and code
Claude Opus 4.7 leads at long-form writing, refactoring and processing massive documents (the 1M-token context is real, not nominal). It has the most human tone — copywriters and developers tend to prefer it. Weak voice mode and no video generation.
Gemini 2 Advanced — for the Google stack
If you live in Gmail, Google Docs, Sheets and Calendar — Gemini is embedded everywhere and gives suggestions inside documents. 2M-token context, Veo 2 video and Imagen 3 are all in one plan. Weaker at creative writing and complex code than the others.
