I gave Google AI Pro a fair shot for six months because, on paper, it looked like one of the most complete AI subscriptions around.

Gemini was at the center of it, but Google also bundled Antigravity, AI features across its ecosystem, Google Health AI Premium, and even YouTube Premium Lite.

However, the cracks became harder to ignore. Several features I was excited about barely made a difference, and I found myself reaching for other AI tools.

Gemini never became my best AI assistant

This was the deal breaker

This was easily the biggest problem I had with Google AI Pro. I can overlook a weak bundle perk or an integration I rarely use, but I can’t overlook the main AI assistant failing to fit into my everyday workflow.

After six months, Gemini still never became the first tool I opened when I needed help refining an idea, writing an email, or working through something complicated.

More often than not, I ended up opening ChatGPT. The biggest issue was the quality and style of Gemini’s responses.

I frequently found them robotic, overly structured, and wordier than needed.

Even when Gemini understood what I was asking, the final response often required another round of editing before I could actually use it.

Gemini 3.6 Flash has its strengths. It is fast, responsive, and perfectly capable of handling prompts. But speed only gets me so far.

When I compare its output with GPT-5.6 or Fable 5 on more nuanced tasks, I still notice a gap.

When I am paying for an AI subscription and using it throughout my workday, those small annoyances add up quickly.

This is what pushed me toward canceling Google AI Pro. I already have alternatives that work better for the tasks I care about most.

ChatGPT has become my default for brainstorming, writing, research, and general problem-solving, while Claude remains my preferred tool for coding and Cowork capabilities.

More importantly, I spend less time fixing their output afterward.

I could overlook Google AI Pro’s other issues if Gemini were solid enough for my daily tasks.

But when the main product is the one I keep choosing not to use in favor of competitors, it becomes hard to justify paying it every month.

Antigravity never became a serious alternative

Cursor fits my needs better

Antigravity was another Google AI Pro perk that sounded more useful to me than it actually turned out to be.

I gave it a fair shot for my coding projects, but it never pulled me away from Cursor.

Antigravity still feels somewhat basic, especially when I want to move quickly between planning, making changes, and refining a project.

Cursor fits the way I work better, and its overall agentic workflow feels more polished and practical for my needs.

I already have a coding environment that I am comfortable with, so Antigravity never became compelling enough to add meaningful value to my Google AI Pro subscription.

Google Health AI Premium lost its appeal

My Fitbit Air experience changed the equation

Google Health AI Premium could have been another reason for me to stick with Google AI Pro.

I tried using it with my Fitbit Air. But my recent experience with Google’s latest wearable left me disappointed.

During a roughly five-hour drive, the tracker somehow recorded thousands of steps even though I was sitting behind the wheel for almost the entire journey.

Due to this, I am now considering switching to Samsung Health. It also means the Google Health AI Premium perk no longer gives me much reason to keep Google AI Pro.

Gemini doesn’t work with many third-party services

Unlike ChatGPT and Claude

Another issue I kept running into with Gemini was its limited third-party app support.

Gemini works well when I stay inside Google’s ecosystem, and integrations with services like WhatsApp and Canva help.

But my day-to-day workflow extends beyond Google apps, and that is where Gemini starts feeling restrictive.

I regularly use tools like Asana and Figma for work, and ChatGPT fits much better into that setup because it can connect with a range of third-party services.

That flexibility matters more to me than having deep integration with Gmail, Drive, or Calendar.

If I am paying for a premium assistant, I want it to sit across my entire workflow, not only one part of it.

I kept paying, barely using it

Canceling Google AI Pro after six months does not mean I am done with Gemini for good.

ChatGPT and Claude fit my workflow better. Antigravity has not become essential, and most of the bundled extras either overlap with services I already pay for or no longer interest me.

That said, I am looking forward to Gemini 3.5 Pro and what Google does next.

If the new model can close the gap with GPT-5.6 and Fable 5, I will happily give Google AI Pro another shot in the future.
