Note: Both AI assistants receive frequent updates, and the real-time feedback may differ from what you read in this post. With time and further testing, we can keep this post updated and state more of its key differences.
Now, getting straight to it, Google’s Bard has been relaunched as “Gemini” with a powerful new AI model, Gemini 2.5, with Deep research capabilities.
This is in line with what OpenAI’s ChatGPT Plus subscription has been offering: a deep research function. ChatGPT has been a pioneer in revolutionizing the tech world with its advanced artificial intelligence capabilities.
Now, Google isn’t far behind and has an answer to OpenAI in the form of Gemini Advanced.
In January 2024, Google announced rebranding its AI chatbot, Bard, as Gemini and Gemini Advanced. After this, the AI tool has seen another change with the company calling their subscription plans as Gemini Pro and Gemini Ultra.
I am guessing this move was necessary to eliminate the confusion between Bard and Gemini, with Gemini being at the core of Google’s AI developments.
Gemini Pro, Google’s latest and largest AI language model, is available at a price of $19.99/month.
Things you get with Gemini Pro:
Gemini Limitations:
Given that the AI model is still relatively new and has not been thoroughly rolled out, the primary limitation is the inability to sign up for Gemini Pro and Ultra. It is not available in all countries, for people of a certain age, and for workspace accounts.
Gemini Advanced also can’t take a document as a prompt unless it exists in your Google Workspace.
ChatGPT still holds the crown as the most preferred AI chatbot for users, with over 180.5 million monthly users. ChatGPT Plus is OpenAI’s paid subscription plan that gives access to its most advanced language model, GPT 4o.
This subscription comes with a bunch of key features that are exclusive to ChatGPT Plus.

ChatGPT Plus Limitations
ChatGPT Plus limitations are mainly faced in its usage:
With the good and the bad of both tools laid out, let’s begin by reviewing them side-by-side.
ChatGPT has come a long way since its inception; read through its updates, new features, and pros and cons from this post on the ChatGPT Chatbot.
Gemini Advanced and ChatGPT Plus are both available at a starting price of $19.99/month and $20/month. Apart from the differences between the creators and organizations, Gemini Advanced and ChatGPT Plus have noticeable differences.
Let’s go through them one by one.
Both chatbots have some features that the other doesn’t. For example, Gemini gives the user access to Google’s search engine, while ChatGPT Plus uses Bing to execute its internet-powered results.
Gemini Advanced distinct features:
ChatGPT Plus distinct features:
Users can use both these AI chatbots over a wide range of devices. Both Gemini Advanced and ChatGPT Plus are also available in the Apple and Google app stores.
Gemini Advanced Compatibility:
What’s interesting here is the direction Google is going with its Gemini and the way a Google user uses this AI language.
With the new Gemini App, you can integrate Gemini directly as your phone assistant, replacing “Google Assistant.” Google had already given a hint of the usage of AI in its future updates, and with the introduction of Gemini Advanced, it seems to have started.
ChatGPT Plus compatibility:
ChatGPT is available as a mobile app, but it remains a separate service. You cannot use ChatGPT Plus as a default assistant, as you can use Gemini Advanced.
But ChatGPT Plus can assist you in using live audio and images pretty well with its mobile app!
We have covered the 17 best AI image generators in our other work, where we tested them against each other to generate an image from the same prompt. However, few had the ability to generate images within the chat.
ChatGPT recently announced the addition of a feature to generate hyperrealistic images that come very close to the quality of Midjourney-generated images with its GPT-4o model.
Google, on the other hand, can also generate AI images inside a chat, but has not specified the image generation model used; it is speculated to be the Imagen 2 model.
Generating images with both is as simple as entering a normal text prompt, unlike some complex AI image generators where you need to define and set a list of parameters to get an output.
To test the image generation abilities of both, I gave an identical prompt to both of these AI chat assistants. Let’s see the difference.
Prompt Used: “Generate an image of an evil octopus trying to take over a city. He’s sitting inside a spaceship overlooking a city.”
Gemini Advanced AI image generation
Quite honestly, Gemini Advanced is not impressive in its image generation results. The only upside I found was that Gemini Advanced gives out 4 images at once and an option to generate +2 for the same prompt.
Otherwise, I found it difficult to get the image I needed, even after explaining the prompt in detail. There are no options to edit the image, nor does Gemini work on editing it via text.

ChatGPT Plus AI image generation
ChatGPT Plus has been my current favorite when it comes to generating AI images with ease and up to perfection. It generates AI images of the highest quality and understands the prompt very well.
The downside of ChatGPT Plus is the inability to give edit features on the go. But, to compensate, it can understand the editing requirements via texts and provide an edited image accordingly.

DemandSage Bonus: One such AI chatbot comes very close to providing the editing features of Gemini Advanced and ChatGPT Plus – Microsoft Copilot. It offers editing features on the go with upscaling, aspect ratio options, and more.
Check out a separate comparison of Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT from our other article.
AI’s role in writing has been long-standing. AI writers and software help users write catchy puns and complex research papers, and even help generate fully optimized content for search engines.
But how do Gemini Advanced and ChatGPT Plus perform in this field?
To get started, I took help from a prompt suggestion displayed by Gemini Advanced and ran it with both Gemini Advanced and ChatGPT Plus. Also, yes, Gemini Advanced also gives suggestive prompts to get you started to generate an image, code, or text.
In order to test their writing abilities, I ran this prompt:
”Write an opening scene for a fantasy fiction novel set in a steampunk 18th century. Be descriptive and historically accurate. Avoid anachronism. The scene should involve Eleanor, a young natural philosopher, on a quest to understand the nature of knowledge and learning. Write in the style of Jane Austen. Build mystery throughout the scene and end with an unexpected revelation.”
Gemini Advanced generated result:
“Miss Eleanor Pemberley possessed a formidable mind, far too formidable for the provincial world in which she found herself confined. Though she lacked the formal trappings of the university, Eleanor’s attic study held more texts of natural philosophy than the meager shelves of the local vicarage. The delicate whirring and ticking of gears filled the room, the product of her latest project: a small clockwork beetle whose gleaming brass wings flittered under the glow of her oil lamp. Yet, despite her brilliance, a sense of gnawing uncertainty always seemed to shadow her. There was an order to the world, a pattern waiting to be deciphered, and she was determined to crack the code.”
ChatGPT Plus generated result:
“In the dim light of dawn, Eleanor stood at the edge of the bustling city of London, her gaze fixed upon the horizon where the modern marvels of steam and iron carved a new skyline amidst the ancient stones. The air was filled with the scent of coal and the distant sound of machinery, a testament to the age of invention that had transformed the 18th century into a canvas of human ingenuity.
Eleanor, with her curious mind and insatiable thirst for knowledge, found herself at the crossroads of the old world and the new. A natural philosopher by passion, she was driven by a quest that was as much personal as it was intellectual—to unravel the mysteries of knowledge and learning, a pursuit that had often left her isolated in a society that viewed her interests with skepticism, if not outright disdain.”
ChatGPT Plus has been regarded as a good option for generating and fixing code. But it certainly is not the best. Gemini Advanced, on the other hand, boasts its “Advanced Coding Abilities.”
It is necessary to test the coding abilities of both, as it is the current favorite way for many users to use an LLM (Large Language Model).
According to this Google Deep Mind Gemini report for Gemini Ultra (Ultra 1.0), it has achieved a HumanEval score of 74.4% for Python problems.
This is in comparison to GPT-4, which could only fetch a HumanEval score of 67% for Python coding tasks. View this official GPT 4 research to learn more.
Here’s a visual representation of generating complex Python code:
Prompt used: ‘’Create a Python Code for Bubble Sort”
Gemini Advanced Python Code:
Example usage:
data = [64, 34, 25, 12, 22, 11, 90]
bubble_sort(data)
print(“Sorted array is:”)
print(data)
ChatGPT Plus Python Code:
Example usage:
data = [64, 34, 25, 12, 22, 11, 90]
bubble_sort(data)
print(“Sorted array is:”)
print(data)
Both ChatGPT Plus and Gemini Advance were able to give out the required Python code quickly. Try it out yourself to see how it works.
My final verdict is to pick ChatGPT Plus, because you have to! It’s a no-brainer. It’s evident how ChatGPT is more useful and valuable for the price you pay, and especially compared to Gemini at the moment.
But the catch here is that the ChatGPT models currently seem usable only in a single dimension. As in, it lacks integration abilities. If you consider how Google is developing its Gemini AI for its users, it is rolling out the model’s functionality to users.
After the recent Google 2025 I/O, the future of Gemini looks promising and multidimensional. Yet, if you have to invest your $20 in an AI tool right away, I would suggest you go for ChatGPT!
