Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Best in class writing quality; output reads as natural and thoughtful, not robotic
  • Superior instruction following; handles complex, multi step prompts reliably
  • Extended thinking produces genuinely deeper reasoning on hard problems
  • Artifacts create interactive, shareable content (full apps, documents, diagrams) right in the chat
  • Projects provide organized workspaces with persistent context and custom instructions
  • Honest about uncertainty; less prone to confident hallucination than competitors
  • Clean, focused interface without feature bloat
  • Cross platform sync between web, desktop, iOS, and Android
  • Memory feature learns your preferences over time
  • MCP connectors integrate with dozens of work tools (Slack, Google Drive, Asana, etc.)

Cons

  • Free tier is more restrictive than ChatGPT Free (no Opus access, lower message limits)
  • Usage limits reset every 5 hours, which can be frustrating during intensive sessions
  • No native image generation (unlike ChatGPT with GPT Image or Gemini with Nano Banana)
  • No video generation capability
  • Web search uses Brave Search as backend, which is less comprehensive than Google's index
  • Cowork (file agent) is still in research preview and not yet fully polished
  • Voice mode available on web and mobile, but not yet on the desktop app
