ChatGPT
The most widely used assistant, with image generation and a large plugin ecosystem.
OpenAI's assistant and the product that made this category mainstream. Beyond text, it generates images, runs Python for data analysis, browses the web, and supports custom GPTs. The breadth is its main advantage: most tasks can be done without leaving the interface.
Our take
The safest default if you only want one subscription. Its advantage is breadth rather than depth in any single area.
