I’ve been using ChatGPT-4o for a while now, but I recently tried Claude — and for me, the difference is quite dramatic.
There was a piece of code I’d been debugging with ChatGPT for almost two weeks (not very intensively, to be fair), and I still couldn’t reach a working final version. Claude converted it into a native format — something ChatGPT wasn’t able to do — which forced me to look for different bridges and workarounds. Claude did it in one go: I just told it to convert the code, and it actually worked immediately. I was genuinely shocked.
Another thing is meal planning. ChatGPT did a decent job, but creating a single day’s plan usually took at least 30 minutes. We had to revise it several times until it finally calculated the calories correctly and balanced the meals so the macros aligned.
With Claude, it takes about 10 minutes, and I don’t lose my patience like I often did with ChatGPT.
The only downside of Claude is the price. The Pro version (similar in price to ChatGPT) runs out of usage much faster, and the higher-tier options are quite expensive.
