The verdict
Both Gemini and Meta AI are solid choices if you mainly want best value / free use — for those needs you won't go far wrong either way.
Choose Gemini if your priority is google workspace users, research & cited answers, real-time information, good at everything.
Choose Meta AI if you care more about image generation.
Both offer free tiers — the genuinely sensible move is to try each on a task you actually do, then pay for the one that earned it.
