Why people look beyond ChatGPT (website & app)
ChatGPT (website & app) does a lot well — the most popular ai assistant and rich features: memory, projects, files. People usually look for alternatives when they want something different: simpler design, access to more model families, a different price structure or tools for specific jobs.
