ChatGPT Plus
What works
GPT-4o multimodal: text, images, and Advanced Voice in one subscription
DALL-E 3 image generation included at no extra cost
GPT Store with thousands of custom specialized GPTs
What doesn't
Context window caps at 128K vs Claude's 200K — inadequate for large codebases
GPT-4o can lose track of style instructions mid-output
Tendency to give confident answers when uncertainty would be more honest
Claude Pro
What works
200K token context window with strong long-context recall
Claude 3.7 Sonnet produces more consistent, craft-aware prose
Extended thinking mode produces more defensible reasoning on hard problems
What doesn't
Fewer out-of-the-box integrations — no image generation, limited tool ecosystem
Over-caveats when directness would serve better
Persistent memory less mature than ChatGPT's implementation
