Compare AI tools, head to head

Side-by-side comparisons of two named AI tools on the things that decide a real job, each one dated and sourced.

A comparison page here puts two AI tools side by side on the things that decide a real job, not a marketing feature list: speed, cost, what happens with a long thread, what happens offline. Every row names a source and the day it was checked, so a stale comparison says so rather than quietly going out of date. These are not rankings: a comparison takes a position on two named tools only, for one named use. If you are choosing between more than two, or do not yet know which two to compare, the best-for ranking and the decision guide below are built for that instead.
