Gemini vs Copilot (2026): Google or Microsoft, which suits you
A comparison of Gemini and Microsoft Copilot for everyday use: free version, integration with Gmail and Docs or Word and Excel, paid plans and requirements, with the date checked.
Date checked: 16 October 2026. Features and plans change; always check the official site.
Gemini (Google) and Copilot (Microsoft) are similar as chats, but shine inside their own apps. Prices: the Google AI plans page we checked didn’t show a euro price for Spain, so we don’t give one; check at checkout.
