Claude leads on long-document analysis, coding accuracy, and instruction-following in complex tasks, while ChatGPT has a broader plugin ecosystem, image generation via DALL-E, and wider name recognition. For most professional writing and coding tasks, Claude Sonnet is the stronger choice; for an all-in-one consumer experience with image and voice, ChatGPT Plus remains competitive.
