Chat & AssistantsFreemiumReviewed April 2026

Claude

Claude is the assistant we reach for when the work has to be careful — long-document analysis, code review with judgment, writing that reads like it came from a thoughtful colleague. The free tier is generous; the Pro plan unlocks larger context, Projects, and Computer Use for autonomous tasks. Where ChatGPT optimises for breadth, Claude consistently wins on depth and tonal control.

What it's good for

1
Drafting strategy memos, board updates, and proposals where voice + nuance matter
2
Reading 100-page PDFs (legal, RFPs, research papers) and producing structured summaries with cited passages
3
Pair-programming on tricky refactors or architecture choices — Claude is comfortable saying "I'm not sure"
4
Building Artifacts (interactive HTML/React previews) directly in the chat for product mockups
5
Running Computer Use agents for repetitive desktop workflows (Pro / API)

How to use it

Drop a long document in, ask for a structured analysis with section citations, and iterate from there. For code work, set up a Project, attach your repo as context, and chat across sessions without losing thread. The Artifacts panel renders code/HTML side-by-side so you can review output without context-switching.
