I'm currently writing novels as a hobby and have been using Claude since February. Lately, I've noticed that the chat length has decreased, and I'm curious if subscribing to the €90 version will allow for a longer chat limit. The €20 version has a limit of 100,000 words, which I've checked with my own material. I'm looking for advice on whether the higher-priced version is worth the extra cost and if it indeed extends the word limit.

Whether it's worth it depends on your writing goals. If the pro plan isn't cutting it, then go for it! But honestly, don't put too much stock in those saying Gemini Pro 2.5 is better; I’ve been using both, and Claude is still top-notch.
I wonder if you actually write the novels yourself?
Haha, yes, I do! That's why I'm looking for ways to improve my writing process!
Before committing to the €90 plan, consider trying Gemini 2.5 Pro. It offers basically unlimited access for just €20 a month and might meet your needs for novel writing. Personally, I find Claude's writing pretty dull.
Exactly! Claude seems more tailored for programmers. Just a heads up, Gemini isn't the best for writing either; you might want to explore other writing-focused AI tools.
The recent drop in chat length might actually be due to you including a lot from your existing novel. Try not to overload the prompts with the whole text; that could help you get longer chats.
I just subscribed yesterday, and I think it's worth every penny for Claude's features, especially the coded aspects.
What do you mean by 'Claude code'? Can you elaborate?
Have you tried OpenRouter? You can use any AI model there and pay per usage, which might be more economical than a subscription.
Check out AI Studio and let 2.5 Pro analyze your writing. It can create custom instructions for you, and since it supports more context, it maintains quality over longer chats.
Totally agree! I've tried Gemini Pro 2.5, and Claude is definitely ahead in quality.
