Pros and cons

Kimi

Pros

  • International USD plans start at $19/month and include Kimi Code and Agent Swarm.
  • Broad agent toolset: deep research, slides, documents, spreadsheets, website building and scheduled tasks.
  • A separate pay-per-token API with a 1M-token context window on K3.
  • Rated 4.7 out of 5 from 5.3K ratings on the US App Store.
  • Earlier K2-family models were reported to have downloadable weights, which suits self-hosting teams.

Cons

  • Free-tier limits are not clearly published on the help pages.
  • Plan structure is changing: legacy plan names (Moderato, Allegretto, Allegro, Vivace) coexist with Plus, Pro, Max and Ultra, which can confuse buyers.
  • Credits do not roll over, and one shared pool covers chat, agents and Kimi Code.
  • The site interface and several help pages default to Chinese; I found no confirmed Android or Windows client.

Gemini Notebook

Pros

  • Answers cite the uploaded sources, so claims can be checked against the original text
  • Free Standard tier with 100 notebooks and 50 sources per notebook
  • Wide range of outputs, including Audio Overviews, Video Overviews, mind maps, flashcards, quizzes and slide decks
  • Accepts PDFs, websites, YouTube videos, audio files, Google Docs and Google Slides
  • Available on web, iOS and Android, and synced with the Gemini app

Cons

  • Works from the sources you add and is not built for live web news search
  • Higher limits require a Google AI subscription; Ultra starts at $99.99 per month
  • The cloud computer for code execution started with Ultra and Workspace AI Ultra Access customers, with Pro rollout still described as upcoming
  • No public API for the consumer product, and the renamed brand can make older guides and app listings confusing
