Is an all-in-one option better than free tiers?

So I've been using free tiers of Claude and ChatGPT for quite some time now, and I use them regularly. I love Claude, but the limits are super annoying, and chatgpt is good for only a handful of tasks. I also use perplexity at times as well for research and some image gen models when I need them.

So a friend offered to give me a discount on an all-in-one sub. It's has around 50k users, so I know it's tried and tested. What I want to ask is if an all-in-one option would be better than using free tiers of tools?

For context, the sub is $9/month, which isn't that bad, but I'll still appreciate some genuine opinions.
