TL;DR

If you want to jump straight to the conclusion, I’d say go for Gemini 2.5 Pro, it’s better at coding, has one million in context window as compared to Claude’s 200k, and you can get it for free (a big plus). However, Claude’s 3.7 Sonnet is not that far behind. Though at this point there’s no point using it over Gemini 2.5 Pro.

I think the "AI Premium" plan of Google One includes access to all the models, including the latest ones (at least that's what it says for me in Spain): https://one.google.com/plans
