Claude
WritingLong-context AI assistant by Anthropic
What is Claude?
Claude by Anthropic supports 200K token context, excels at long-form content.
Our take
Claude is Anthropic direct competitor to ChatGPT, and in our testing it produces the highest-quality long-form English writing of any general assistant. The 200K context window is the killer feature - you can paste a 100-page document and ask Claude to summarize, analyze, or rewrite without losing the thread. The Pro tier at $20/month is the right pick for anyone who writes for a living.

Our verdict
Pick Claude if: Claude is the right pick if you write for a living. The 200K context window, Artifacts feature, and natural writing style are the best in the category. The $20/month Pro plan is the right pick for almost everyone - the Team plan is only worth it if you are sharing custom instructions across a team.
Skip Claude if: If you need a real-time web search built into the chat, Perplexity or Gemini are better choices. If you want image generation, voice mode, or a plugin ecosystem, ChatGPT Plus is the more well-rounded option.
