Comparing AI subscriptions: the complete 2026 guide
Eight providers, more than twenty subscription types and roughly the same price everywhere. This guide puts everything side by side and works out what you really pay as a user in the Netherlands.
Every provider asks around twenty euros a month, and nobody tells you what you really get. Here we work it out: per plan, per limit and per euro.
Eight providers, more than twenty subscription types and roughly the same price everywhere. This guide puts everything side by side and works out what you really pay as a user in the Netherlands.
From €0 to €315 per month. This is what you really pay for an AI subscription in August 2026, converted to euros, including 21% VAT and with the annual totals.
Three subscriptions, less than a euro apart in price, and yet three completely different products. What you get from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, and who each one works out best for.
ChatGPT for images, Claude for text, Gemini for documents. It's a logical way of working and an expensive one. This is what stacking costs and when it's still defensible.
Canceling takes a few clicks in your account settings with every provider. The harder question is what you use next, and whether free or cheaper is enough for you.
Finally
One Dutch subscription for every flagship model. Start free, upgrade when you hit the limits, and cancel monthly.
