Gemini edges out ChatGPT in budgeting tests for groceries and a vacation
Tom's Guide compared Google Gemini and OpenAI's ChatGPT across three budgeting tasks: a biweekly grocery plan within a $175 budget, a 12‑month savings roadmap for a $3,000 Orlando trip, and a side-by-side look at two budget scenarios (keeping a $500/month car payment vs buying used and investing). Gemini delivered a detailed, exportable grocery list with inflation-adjusted costs and a clear total, plus a 12‑month plan; ChatGPT offered strong month‑by‑month visuals and practical tips. Overall Gemini won for practical budgeting and Google Sheets integration, while both tools proved useful for different aspects of money management.
