I don't think there's a consensus on this. I have found Gemini to be so-so, and the UX is super annoying when you run out of your pro usage. IME, there's no way to have continuity to a lower-tier model, which makes is a huge hassle. I basically never use it anymore.
The hack I found to “get around” the secret limits that pop out of nowhere is to you export the chat, then import it with another account. So you don’t need to pay 200, just 40 (and only when you actually need that much).
In other words, what matters is not just which one is "best"?
If the Google model was 50% better than OpenAI I would have bought a subscription, which would moot the UX issue. But IME it isn't discernibly better at all, let alone 50% better.
