Two weeks ago I caught myself trying to remember whether Claude or ChatGPT was better at writing follow-up emails. Not in the abstract — in the specific way I'd been using them that week. I opened three tabs, ran the same prompt through each model, copied my own benchmark notes into a third tab, and forty minutes later I had an answer that lasted exactly one afternoon. Then the next model update shipped.
This is not a problem of memory. It's a problem of shape. Every tool ships its own marketing surface, and that surface is engineered to make you forget the other tools exist. The only honest way to look at two tools is to look at them at the same time, in the same frame, with the same questions asked of both.
/compare is that frame.
What it shows
Two tools, side by side. The five-axis AIght score for both, overlaid on one radar. Score deltas, computed and labelled. Pricing rows lined up. The take I wrote about each, when one exists. The tools both list as alternatives, intersected.
That's it. No "winner". No bottom line. Just the comparison laid out cleanly so you can read it yourself.
I picked five axes because anything more becomes a chart you don't trust. Utility because a tool you don't use is just a subscription. Privacy because data is the price of admission and nobody reads the page. Speed because latency is a feature you don't notice until you switch back. Cost because the free tier always has a cliff and the cliff is usually the point. Transparency because if I can't explain how a model fails, I shouldn't be reviewing it.
What it doesn't show
It doesn't show "which one is better." That depends on you. The whole reason for the five-axis breakdown is that the right tool for a designer at a startup is not the right tool for a legal team at a bank, and the radar makes the trade-offs visible instead of collapsing them into a single number.
It doesn't show benchmarks. There are sites that do benchmarks. I want this to be the place where the human-readable parts live.
It doesn't pretend the comparison is timeless. Models ship every six weeks now. The score is dated. The take is dated. The pricing is dated. I refresh when I have a new opinion worth filing.
How to use it
If you're picking between two tools you've already heard about, type both names into the picker. If you only know one, leave the other blank and I'll show you adjacent picks from the same category. If you're not sure what you want at all, take the quiz first — it's faster than browsing.
Share the URL freely. It's stateless. Every comparison is a permalink.
