Study, published November 10, 2026. It updates as deals are added to our Black Friday page, through November 30.
We checked every Black Friday AI deal against the price before the sale
We put each Black Friday AI deal on our list next to the price on the same pricing page before the sale, from a saved copy in the Wayback Machine. Of the 7 deals we could compare, all cost less than before, by 10% to 51%, and every "was" price matched the saved page. Writecream had no saved copy we could use yet.

Every deal, next to the price before the sale
The saved price links to the copy of the tool's own pricing page we used. Prices are for the same plan and the same billing period as the deal.

Most saved copies are from October. Where the Wayback Machine had no October copy, we used the latest one before it, and the date says so.
How we checked
- The deal price: a person opened each maker's own deal page in November and wrote down the price, the code and the end date. That's the price on our Black Friday page.
- The price before: the same pricing page as saved by the Wayback Machine, the Internet Archive's copy of the web, on the latest date before November that it had. We re-opened every saved copy on November 10, 2026 and found the price on it.
- Like for like: a one-time price against a one-time price, and a year against a year, for the same plan.
- The "was" price: the price each deal says it's cut from, compared with the saved copy.
- What we don't do: we don't buy, so we can't promise a code works at checkout. We check the price on the page.
Does ChatGPT have a Black Friday sale?
Not at our check on November 10, 2026. ChatGPT's pricing page showed its regular prices that day, with Plus at $20 a month and Go at $8 a month, and no Black Friday offer. If ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini posts a deal, it goes on our Black Friday page and in this table.
Check any deal's old price yourself
- Open the Wayback Machine and paste the address of the tool's pricing page.
- Pick a date in October, before the Black Friday deals started.
- Find the same plan, and compare the same billing period: a year against a year, or a one-time price against a one-time price.
- For a lifetime deal, work out how many months of the monthly plan it equals. Our lifetime deal guide shows how.
