Pick Claude for everyday chat and documents; pick DeepSeek to pay per token through an API. Claude has a Free plan, Pro at $20/mo and Max from $100/mo. DeepSeek's documented prices are API-only: deepseek-flash costs $0.15 per 1M input tokens off-peak, against $2 for Claude Sonnet 5.5. The DeepSeek chat app's plans are unconfirmed.
We based this on our verified profiles of Claude (checked 2026-09-30) and DeepSeek (checked 2026-10-05); we did not run our benchmark on DeepSeek, use no third-party benchmarks and take no vendor payments.
Claude has a documented Free plan, fixed monthly paid plans ($20 Pro) and published privacy terms, so it is the clearer choice for everyday chat use. DeepSeek is mainly documented as a developer API billed per 1M tokens, with OpenAI- and Anthropic-format endpoints and a 1M-token context. We could not confirm the DeepSeek chat app's free status, plans or privacy terms, so we cannot compare the two chat apps on price or data handling. Pick Claude for a known chat experience; pick DeepSeek if you want to pay per token through an API.
Based on our profiles of Claude (verified 2026-09-30) and DeepSeek (verified 2026-10-05) from official pricing and product pages; DeepSeek's chat app could not be checked, and no benchmark was run.

For API use, yes: DeepSeek's API is billed per 1M tokens (deepseek-flash input $0.15 off-peak, $0.30 peak), while Claude's chat plans are flat monthly fees. Claude's API is also per token, for example Sonnet 5.5 at $2 input and $10 output per 1M tokens. We could not confirm DeepSeek chat app pricing.
Unconfirmed: we could not verify whether the DeepSeek chat app is free. The chat site blocked automated access during our check on 2026-10-05, so its free status and plans are unverified. Claude has a Free plan with usage limits.
No. Claude's paid chat subscription does not include API access; the API is billed separately per token through the Claude Platform. DeepSeek's API is likewise a separate usage-priced service.
Claude documents its data terms and DeepSeek's are unverified: Free, Pro and Max chats may be used for training unless you opt out, and Team and Enterprise do not train by default. DeepSeek's training use, retention and commercial-use terms were not verified, so we cannot rate it.
