How to choose
- Pick an alternative based on the job: search requires citations, writing needs tone control, and coding needs repository context.
- Run the same prompt through two or three tools before moving an important workflow away from ChatGPT.
- Review data retention, file upload, and workspace policies if you use sensitive documents.
