If someone had $20, they’d spend it on Claude. It’s the go-to tool for editing writing and, to a lesser extent, coding, making it a daily workhorse for most tasks.
If they had another $20, they’d choose ChatGPT. It takes third place in writing tools, thanks to its voice mode, reasoning, and deep research capabilities.
