What's the difference between ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, and do you need subscriptions to all of them? Let me answer that question with no. However, I do have subscriptions to all of them. I use Claude for my project folders. I love how I can train each project on a specific client and give it a knowledge base and custom instructions. It does a great job at keeping consistent with the content that you've put in with its memory. So I really like that. It keeps me organized and it keeps me on track with my clients. For ChatGPT, it's really become my strategic advisor and my partner. I've had a relationship with it since 2023, so we go way back and it really understands my business and my goals without much prompting. I also love creating custom GPTs that act as different assistants or little AI employees for my business. And then finally, I love Gemini. So I create a lot of content and courses, and I created a workbook, and just last week I put the workbook into Gemini 3, and I asked it to create an interactive app instead of the workbook, and it did. So I really love the capabilities that Gemini 3 has and all of the image creation and video that's in Google AI Studio. So I would say if you have to pick just one, if you're a beginner, start with ChatGPT. I think it's really easy to use and friendly, and you can grow with it. If you're more advanced in using multimodal AI generation, I would say start with Gemini 3.
