ChatGPT or Claude
For a business, pick ChatGPT or Claude by one job and the company account the work will live in.
Use the assistant people will actually open, and read that vendor's current data terms before customer data goes in.
| Decision | Where it lives | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| What ChatGPT does today | openai.com | Read it before you buy |
| What Claude does today | anthropic.com/claude | Read it before you buy |
| Seat prices | Each vendor's own page | Check them the week you buy seats |
| Which job goes first | My 60-minute assessment | Leave with three jobs ranked |
Read the vendor's page
Both products change fast. OpenAI and Anthropic list what each one does today on their own pages.
A confident wrong draft still needs a person when a customer, a payment, or a hire depends on it. The tool your team already has open is the one to try first, when the job fits inside it.
A way to choose without a spreadsheet
Take one real job from last week. Run it in the tool you already pay for. If the draft is usable after a person edits it, stop shopping. If the job needs files, permissions, or a company account the current tool cannot have, that is a reason to look at the other product, and a reason to read its data terms first.
A company account is a different decision from a personal login. Who can see the thread, whether the vendor trains on it, and what you are allowed to paste are all in the vendor's current terms. Read them before anyone pastes a customer record.
When neither logo is the decision
If you pay for ChatGPT and the team still does the same jobs by hand, switching to Claude will not change that. Nobody picked the job, nobody checks the drafts, and nobody hears when one is wrong. Another logo arrives with the same gap.
Fix that first: pick the job and the person who checks it. Ranking those jobs is what the assessment is for.
Steps
- Take one real job from last week.
- Run it in the assistant the team already pays for.
- Read that vendor's current data terms before a customer record goes into the prompt.
- If the jobs have not changed and the logo is the argument, stop comparing products and pick the job.
Questions
Should a business use ChatGPT or Claude?
The one your team will open on a real job, inside a company account. Read that vendor's current data terms before customer data goes in.
When should we look at the other product?
When the job needs files, permissions, or a company account your current tool cannot have. Read its data terms first.
We already pay for one and nothing changed. Should we switch?
No. Nobody is looking after the job, and the new logo has the same problem on day one.
Where are the seat prices?
On each vendor's own page. Check them the week you buy seats.
Does the assessment include a tool recommendation?
Yes. You leave knowing what to buy off the shelf and what to skip.
