Side by side

Comparisons

Most "X vs Y" pieces pick a winner in the headline and spend the rest of the page defending it. We score each dimension separately, so you can see that one tool wins on cost while losing badly on something else — and decide which of those matters to you.

Two tools, scored on the same dimensions

Head-to-heads

Grok vs ChatGPT

One genuine advantage — live knowledge from X — and everything else. Where recency is worth the premium.

Comparison

DeepSeek vs Claude

Open weights and a fraction of the price, against the stronger agent story. A cost argument in capability clothing.

Comparison

ChatGPT vs Gemini

Comparison

ChatGPT vs Claude

Reasoning, coding, cost, context window — and which one fits the work you do all day.

how we compare

Dimension by dimension

Each row is judged on its own. A tool can win on price and lose on reliability without us averaging it into a fake score.

Picked by job, not in general

"Better" depends entirely on what you're doing. We give different answers for different kinds of work.

Real usage costs

Headline prices are close to meaningless. We work out what you'd actually pay at the volume you'd use it.

Stuck on a pair we haven't covered?

Tell us which two tools you're weighing up and what you'd be using them for. That context genuinely changes the answer, and it helps us decide what to compare next.
