- Claude Pro includes Claude Code and Projects; Google AI Pro includes Deep Search, video generation credits and 5 TB of storage. They overlap less than the prices suggest.
- Claude states how the limit works (five-hour window plus weekly limit). Google states a multiple of the free limit. Neither gives a message count.
- Both were read on official pages, but the Google page answered with Brazilian prices: its US dollar price here comes from a third-party site.
- Pick by the tool you would open every day: a terminal and long documents, or Gmail, Docs and Drive.

| What it means in practice | There is no fixed message count. A long session can use up the five-hour window, then you wait for it to reset; the weekly limit caps heavy use across the week. Claude Code draws from the same allowance. | "4x the free limit" is relative to a number Google does not publish. The concrete parts are the 5 TB of storage and the Flow credits: if you already pay for Google storage, part of the price is covered. |
