How We Compare Models

Choosing the right AI model can save you hours of work and hundreds of dollars. But with new updates shipping every week, keeping up is impossible.

We compare models based on actual output quality for specific tasks, not just benchmark numbers. Our methodology includes:

  • Real-world prompts: We test with prompts real professionals use.
  • Side-by-side outputs: We show you the raw results so you can judge.
  • Use-case specific verdicts: A model might be great for coding but terrible for creative writing. We tell you which is which.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which AI model is best in 2026?

Gemini and Grok are leading the pack for general reasoning and speed, while Claude remains the top choice for complex coding and creative writing tasks. ChatGPT continues to be a strong all-rounder.

How do you test these models?

We run identical prompts across all models using our Template Library. We evaluate based on accuracy, formatting, instruction following, and reasoning depth.

Are these comparisons unbiased?

Yes. We sell a tool that works with ALL these models. We don't care which one you use, as long as it gets the job done for your specific use case.
