Nobody Wins the Claude vs ChatGPT Fight. We Use Both.
Everyone wants us to pick a side. We're not going to.
This is the honest breakdown of Claude versus ChatGPT, where we each started, why so many people made the switch this spring, and what we actually reach for now depending on the task. Joyce broke up with ChatGPT and crawled back. Kinsey is up Fable's butt. And somewhere in the middle is the real answer, which is that the tools are closer than ever and the smartest move is knowing when to use each.
If you keep hearing you should quit one and commit to the other, this one's for you. You'll walk away knowing how to choose if you only want one tool, when speed beats strategy, why Claude still wins on design, and how to keep your business moving the week your AI decides to lose its mind.
In this episode:
- The unhinged check-in, where Kinsey connected Stripe and Kit to Claude and had it break down the numbers from their first two Her AI Club launches
- Where we both started, ChatGPT girlies until spring 2025, and what kicked off the great switch to Claude
- Why the two tools are basically at feature parity now, with skills, projects, and connectors on both sides
- The one rule for choosing if you only want to use one, pick the tool that has the longest history with you
- What Joyce uses Chat for, speed, content, and voice, versus what she keeps Claude for, strategy and the Chrome connector
- Why Claude still wins on design, and the trick of starting a design in Claude and finishing it in ChatGPT
- The GitHub move that lets ChatGPT update a live website in seconds
- How to keep working when a tool goes wonky mid-launch, and why an external brain in Google Docs or Airtable is your insurance
- Pitting your two tools against each other to get a better answer
