| STOA's Verdict | Claude is the best AI assistant for businesses that work heavily with text — writing, analysis, legal review, and long-form content. Its ability to process huge documents in one go is a real time-saver. The $20/month Pro plan is the sweet spot. Choose Claude over ChatGPT for writing quality and document analysis; choose ChatGPT for image generation and a bigger app ecosystem. |
