Choose ChatGPT when a general-purpose LLM assistant with custom projects, connectors, and a clear team upgrade path is the primary job. Compare Claude for long-context writing and reasoning style, Gemini for Google Workspace integration, and QuillBot if you only need paraphrasing — not a full LLM. Scores reflect first-party documentation as of 2026-08-18 — not hands-on product testing. Confirm current packaging, usage caps and credit rates on the vendor site before purchase.
Bottom line
Free. Plus $20/mo. Business $25/seat monthly or $20/seat annual (2-seat min). Pro from ~$100/mo. Enterprise contact. Confirm live on openai.com/chatgpt/pricing.
