Claude vs ChatGPT:
Claude and ChatGPT are now very close in core competencies, but are different in some key niches
Creative & Technical Depth: Claude is great at longer format writing, data analysis and coding with real time previews while ChatGPT is great with multimedia (images and videos) and broader integrations.
Context and Tone: Claude provides a warmer, human like conversation and is better at mirroring user tone.
Model Sizes and Pricing: Both have a similar start price of $20/month but Claude offers deeper context windows (up to 500k tokens) and API access is cheaper for larger models.
