- Clear and generous limits (esp if you mostly use Luna Max)

- ChatGPT Extension in (almost) any chromium browser making ur browser an ai browser

- Mobile app with access to Work and Codex so your work NEVER stops

- Voice if you like the Jarvis vibe

- Literally updates across Codex, Work, ChatGPT, etc every week and model updates every 1-2 months

- so much more that I don't even use

$20 Dia 'Better Answers':

- Limited chats with literally whatever dogshit effort level they are setting these models to that makes them so lobotimized

- 5 useful plugins and change

- cannot send emails or make events even though Old Chat did it easily

- lost the personalization/memory features from old chat, there's only browser history and 7 days of chat history now

- sub-frontier models

- the agentic capabilities of GPT 3.5

- Opaque and suspicious limits ('Tasks'???)

- Basic ai chat with lobotimized Opus 4.8 (not even Opus 5)

- away from your mac = bye bye Dia

- new features once a month, and model updates whenever they feel like it

- that's literally it

Which genius thought of this pricing?

TLDR: Seems like the Google partnership is mainly training, Google Cloud, and Google infrastructure. New Siri likely isn't rebranded Gemini at all, and the new image model isn't Nano Banana.
