Chat assistants · alternatives
People look past Fixy for a few documented reasons. Pricing was readable only in the vendor llms.txt file, bring-your-own-keys is limited to Team and Business, Fixy Works is described as a Mac desktop app only, and answer quality depends on third-party models.
Our catalog lists four alternatives, all with a free plan. ChatGPT starts at Plus, $20 per user per month. Claude starts at Pro, $20 per user per month ($17 per month with an annual subscription). Google Gemini starts at Google AI Plus, $4.99 per user per month. Grok has no starting price stated in our verified data.
"Better suited" below is based on documented features and pricing from our verified profiles, not on a head-to-head test. Prices are USD as published by each vendor.

Taken from the documented limitations in our Fixy profile.
| Tool | Starting price | Free tier | Platforms | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fixy (this page) | $1.99/mo (Starter) | Yes | Web | Pricing could only be read from the vendor llms.txt file, since the pricing page is client-rendered. |
| ChatGPT | $20/mo (Plus (consumer)) | Yes | Web, Desktop, Mobile, API | Almost every tool (uploads, images, voice, deep research, Codex) has plan-dependent usage caps that OpenAI states can change over time, and the API is billed separately from every ChatGPT subscription. |
| Claude | $20/mo (Pro) | Yes | Web, Desktop, Mobile, API | All plans have usage limits that reset on a schedule; the paid chat subscription does not include API access, which is billed separately per token. |
| Google Gemini | $4.99/mo (Google AI Plus) | Yes | Web, Desktop, Mobile | Usage is governed by compute-based limits that refresh every 5 hours up to a weekly cap, and free-tier chats with Keep Activity on are used to train Google models with human review. |
| Grok | Not published | Yes | Web, API | Consumer plan prices (SuperGrok, SuperGrok Heavy) were not visible in the viewed locale, so what a paid tier costs is unconfirmed. |
