ChatGPT vs. Gemini vs. Copilot vs. Claude [Table]

While all three AI chatbots provide human-like responses to prompts, they vary in terms of data sources, models used, and more! The table below summarizes their differences:

ChatGPT: Overview

Price: Free version available. ChatGPT Plus subscription costs $20/month, and a ChatGPT Pro subscription runs $200/month

Developed by OpenAI and launched in November 2022, ChatGPT is an AI chatbot that uses natural language processing (NLP) to interact with users conversationally in over 50 languages. This AI chatbot is trained with data from 2021 and older. It uses the Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3.5 (GPT 3.5) model.

It can write content, essays, emails, and code. ChatGPT can respond to follow-up questions and even admit its mistakes.

Users can access ChatGPT through browsers and through mobile apps on Android and iOS devices. In September 2023, OpenAI announced that it’s rolling out voice and image capabilities for ChatGPT.

You can access its subscription plan, ChatGPT Plus, for $20 per month to get priority access to new features and faster response times. ChatGPT Plus uses the GPT-4 model.

Integration capabilities

ChatGPT has several connected apps, such as Google Drive, OneDrive, Slack, and more. You can also use tools like Zapier to connect the LLM to many other tools for automation throughout your workflow.

Best uses of ChatGPT for marketing

Marketers can use ChatGPT as a content assistant to write:

• Content ideas
• Blog post outlines
• Social media post drafts
• Video script drafts
• Summaries of existing content
• Emails

As of this writing, ChatGPT is trained with data from 2021 and older, so its research capabilities are limited. For that reason, always fact-check the output of ChatGPT and other AI tools.

Google Gemini: Overview

Price: Many features of Gemini are free for users, such as viewing AI overviews in Google. The generative AI assistant version of Gemini is included in all Google Workspace memberships. Other costs  for more features include:

• Starter: $6 per month per user, with a 1-year commitment
• Business Standard: $12 per month per user, with a 1-year commitment
• Business Plus: $18 per month per user, with a 1-year commitment
• Enterprise: Custom pricing

Gemini is an AI-powered chatbot that uses the Pathways Language Model 2 (PaLM 2) model. Like ChatGPT, Gemini uses NLP, so it can converse with you like a human.

The goal of Gemini is to provide answers and retrieve information for users instead of showing a search results page. It can:

• Write text
• Translate languages
• Plan your trip itinerary
• Show relevant images to your prompts

You can even use voice and images for your prompts.

Gemini’s responses are based on the information it’s been trained on and from other Google services it has access to.

Integrations

Gemini works specifically within the Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Sheets, etc.), Google Search, YouTube Music, and Google One. Developers may also integrate Gemini into their own apps and tools. 

Best uses of Gemini for marketing

Because Gemini is connected to the Internet, it can do more marketing tasks than generate topic ideas and copies. It can perform the following marketing tasks:

• Create a schema markup for a page: Provide a link to the page you need a schema markup for. Test the markup — and any code you generate using an AI tool. The AI chatbot reminds users to use the code with caution. Gemini reiterates that it is still experimental, and users must test and review all codes before using them.
• Analyze a page’s on-page SEO performance: Prompt Gemini to analyze a page’s on-page SEO You can also ask it to provide recommendations to improve a page’s on-page SEO.
• Give you customized marketing advice: If you’re a marketing team of one or a solopreneur needing ideas, you can use Gemini to give you marketing advice. Take its tips with a grain of salt, though. For best results, consult human experts like the team at WebFX, who have experience carrying out campaigns!

Microsoft’s Copilot: Overview

Price: Free basic version available. If you want more features, you can sign up for a Copilot Pro subscription at $20/month, or get a Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on for $30/month (paid yearly) or $31.50/month (paid monthly).

Developed by Microsoft, Copilot, formally known as Bing Chat is an AI chatbot that uses the GPT-4 model. It uses machine learning and NLP so that you can have a human-like conversation with it.

Copilot is best used with the Microsoft Edge browser. You can also use the app available on iOS and Android mobile devices.

Like ChatGPT and Gemini, it can generate content for you and answer your questions. Copilot has access to the Internet so that it can answer questions related to current events. It also provides links to sources mentioned in its responses.

A unique feature of Copilot is the conversation style. Users can choose whether they want a creative, precise, or balanced conversation style with Copilot:

• Creative: This style is best for using Copilotfor brainstorming and writing content.
• Precise: Use this style for straightforward answers from Copilot. It’s best for searching for immediate answers to questions.
• Balanced: This conversation style combines both styles, providing some creativity and keeping answers concise. This is best used for things like planning a trip or asking for recommendations.

Keep in mind that Copilot is separate from Bing’s generative search feature, which incorporates AI responses directly into search results.

Integrations

Copilot connects with all Microsoft products and services, such as the Microsoft 365 suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, etc.) and Microsoft Graph.

It also integrates with some third-party tools, such as OpenAI Plugins.

Best uses of Copilot for marketing

Like Gemini, Copilot is connected to the Internet so that marketers can use it for various tasks, including:

• Content idea generation
• Writing drafts for content
• Researching a topic

Users can easily verify Copilot responses through the links it provides in its responses.

Note: GitHub created an AI-enhanced bot for developers that they also called Copilot. GitHub Copilot is very different though, as it is advanced in coding and packed with developing tools.

Claude: Overview

Price: Free plan available for basic use. Pro plans start at $17/month, and the Max plans are $100 per person/month.

Claude is a fairly new generative AI tool in the sphere. It is not as well known as ChatGPT and Gemini, but still worth a mention.

Claude AI is an AI assistant created by Anthropic. The AI bot can assist a user similar to ChatGPT with tools such as analysis, writing, math, coding and even creative projects.

Let’s look at a few pros and cons of Claude AI, starting with the advantages:

• Wide range of topics: Claude AI can give information on various topics, quick and efficiently.
• Task versatility: The generative AI offers a mix of task options from writing, to coding.
• Personalization: Claude keeps a light record of your preferences and can adjust communication style according to the users request.

Now, let’s take a look at Claude AI’s disadvantages:

• Lack of real-world experience: All information provided is created from training data, not real-web or lived experiences.
• Errors and biases: There is always a risk of biased information due to the training data. As the information is also not provided in real-time, there could be errors from outdated resources.

Best uses of Claude for marketing

Claude shares many other use cases with the other tools, such as generating content ideas and finding content gaps. Some other ways marketers are using this tool include:

• Refining marketing strategies and project planning
• Generating blog topics
• Drafting sales newsletter outlines
• Sharing ideas for graphics

Copilot provides links to its references when it answers users, making it an excellent tool for research. Then there is Claude that can personalize your marketing. Whether you choose ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Copilot, you need humans to verify your AI tool’s output and check it for biases.
