ChatGPT vs Gemini

Choose ChatGPT when a general-purpose LLM assistant with custom projects, connectors, and a clear team upgrade path is the primary job. Choose Gemini when Google Workspace is your productivity hub and you want an LLM assistant embedded in Google apps — not when connectors outside Google are the priority. Overall: ChatGPT 8.7 vs Gemini 8. Not hands-on lab tested; confirm live pricing and usage caps. Compare published pricing, LLM depth, writing, voice, agents, governance, integrations, and usage models.
