The question almost always comes the same way, and almost always framed wrong: which AI is best? It depends on what for, and above all it depends on which process in your company you want off your plate<\/strong>. For drafting a one-off email, all three will do and the difference comes down to taste. For a workflow that reads forty emails a day, pulls out the data that matters and prepares a quote without anyone copying and pasting, the choice starts to have consequences, though not the ones a typical comparison tells you about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini head to head, in one table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All three are language models with a chat interface in front and an API behind, and all three are more alike than their marketing suggests. Claude is made by Anthropic, ChatGPT belongs to OpenAI, and Gemini is Google’s and comes built into Workspace. Any of the three can draft, summarize, classify, translate and write code reasonably well, and none of them is an automation product on its own: they’re the engine, and something else builds the workflow<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/th>Claude<\/th>ChatGPT<\/th>Gemini<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Where it usually wins<\/td>long texts, documents, code<\/td>range of tasks, extension ecosystem<\/td>data that already lives in Gmail, Drive and Sheets<\/td><\/tr>

The prices in the table are ballpark figures, not rates<\/strong>: they vary by country, by plan and by whether you sign up for one person or for the team. Check them on the day you’re going to sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where each one wins: long texts, code, images and voice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Claude has a reputation for writing better Spanish and for holding its tone throughout a long text, and in practice it shows most when you give it your own material: a tender document, a contract, twenty pages of internal documentation. It handles the whole document without losing the thread<\/strong> and without making up the half it hasn’t read. That may sound like a matter of style, but it’s what decides whether a document-reading workflow works or creates extra review work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ChatGPT is the most all-round of the three<\/strong>, and it’s where new features arrive first. It has the biggest ecosystem, most of the unusual integrations are built for it, and if your process mixes text with images, voice or web browsing, it’s usually the shortest route. When someone asks what Claude has that ChatGPT doesn’t, the honest answer is not much in the catalog, and quite a lot in how it writes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gemini plays a different game, and its advantage is that you’re already inside<\/strong>: if your company works with Gmail, Drive, Sheets and Calendar, Gemini reads all of that without you setting anything up, using the permissions you already have. For an SME that lives in Google Workspace, that saves the heaviest part of any automation, which is giving access to the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for image and voice generation, all three are moving, they change every few months and no ranking here lasts a year. If your process depends on it, test it the month you’re going to build it<\/strong>; don’t trust a comparison from two months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What it costs: subscription, API usage and the cost nobody publishes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are two prices and people mix them up constantly. The subscription is for one person to use the chat, and it’s the one in the table above: it includes the interface, the usage limits and little else. The API is what you need to automate<\/strong>, it’s paid by usage and has nothing to do with the former: paying for ChatGPT Plus<\/a> doesn’t give you programmatic access to anything<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

API usage is billed by the amount of text processed, so the real cost depends on the volume of your process<\/strong>, not on the provider. A workflow that sorts an SME’s incoming emails moves little text and stays in small figures each month. A workflow that summarizes long documents several times a day is a different league. The way to find out is to build the workflow, leave it running for a week with real volume and look at the bill, rather than estimating it in a spreadsheet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then there’s the cost that doesn’t appear on any pricing page, which is the one that decides whether this works out: the hours to build the workflow, the hours to fix it when the provider changes something, and the hours of the person who reviews the output before it reaches the customer. In the projects we’ve seen go wrong, the culprit was almost never the model. Nobody had budgeted for maintenance<\/strong>, or a process was automated that nobody had actually written down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four questions that matter more than the tool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

None of these four is about models, and all four matter more than the choice of provider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Is the process written down?<\/strong> If you can’t explain it to a new hire in five minutes, it isn’t ready to automate. A process that lives in someone’s head doesn’t get automated, it gets documented first<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Where does the data you need live?<\/strong> In Gmail, in an ERP, in an Excel file saved on someone’s desktop. The answer changes the whole setup<\/strong>, and sometimes the provider too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Who reviews the output, and what happens if it gets something wrong one day?<\/strong> A mistake in a quote that goes out to a customer costs money and credibility; a mistake in an internal draft costs nothing. The more expensive the mistake, the more human review you need to keep inside the workflow<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Who maintains it once the person who built it is gone?<\/strong> If the answer is nobody, six months from now you’ll have a switched-off workflow and a process done by hand again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Once these four are answered, the choice between Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini becomes a small one, and almost always reversible<\/strong>: changing the model in a well-built workflow means swapping one node and testing again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Quotes, support and reporting: the same process with all three<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    A quote based on the customer’s email<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    An email arrives describing what the customer needs, in their language and in their own words. The workflow reads it, pulls out the line items, matches them against your price list and returns a draft quote for someone to sign off. In n8n it’s four steps: email trigger, a call to the model with your price list as context, output template, and a notification to the person who approves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"preparing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Here Claude usually comes out ahead when the email is long or comes with attachments. Gemini has the edge if the emails are in Gmail and the price list is in a Sheets spreadsheet, because access is already sorted. What doesn’t change in any of the three cases is that a person reviews the quote before it goes out<\/strong>. The price is a legal commitment, which is why we always keep that step inside the workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The first reply to a support ticket in the middle of the night<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Here the tool doesn’t matter<\/strong>, and it’s the only one of the three processes we say that about without qualification. All three classify the message and draft a first reply equally well. What decides the outcome is whether your documentation lives somewhere it can be read from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The setup is short: a customer writes at eleven at night, the workflow classifies it, answers whatever the documentation covers and flags what needs a person in the morning. It doesn’t resolve the issue. It keeps the customer from spending the night without a reply<\/strong> and showing up angry the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Without documentation behind it, the automatic reply comes out friendly and empty<\/strong>, and that’s more annoying than silence. When we build this workflow, the first half of the work is usually gathering in one place what the company already knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The monthly report someone does by hand today<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Closing the month, pulling data from three or four places, pasting it into a template, writing the summary. The collecting and organizing part can be automated with or without AI, and it’s worth automating it first<\/strong>. The part where the model adds value is the summary<\/strong>: reading the numbers and writing what has changed from the previous month and what deserves a closer look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Gemini has a clear advantage if the data is in Sheets and Looker. Claude writes the most polished summary of the three. ChatGPT gets along best with unusual data sources, which in an SME is nearly all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"automating<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The detail that decides whether the report gets used or filed away unopened is none of those three things. It’s that the summary says what to do about what happened<\/strong>, and you have to ask for that explicitly in the prompt, with examples of previous reports at hand. Without it, you get an accurate description of numbers that were already in the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Which one to choose based on your company’s processes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If your team works inside Google Workspace and the process you want to automate involves email, spreadsheets and documents, start with Gemini<\/strong> and save yourself half the setup. If your process revolves around reading long documents, contracts, tenders, technical reports, and the resulting text goes to a customer, try Claude first<\/strong>. If you don’t yet know what you’ll automate, or you’ll be tackling five different processes this year, ChatGPT is the bet with the fewest rough edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As for whether it’s worth switching when you already use one: for day-to-day chat, rarely. For an automated workflow, the right question isn’t which one is best today, but how much it will cost you to switch tomorrow<\/strong>. Build the workflow so that the model is a replaceable part<\/strong>, with the prompts stored outside and a test to compare outputs against, and the decision stops being scary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What you should decide early is the process. Pick one, the most repetitive one and the one that hurts least if it goes wrong<\/strong>, and build it end to end with the tool you’re already paying for. In two weeks you’ll know more about your case than from reading twenty comparisons, and that automation software<\/a> comparison you were about to do answers itself once you have a working workflow and a bill in front of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you’d rather not start with trial and error, at La Teva IA we do exactly that first part: look at your processes, tell you which ones are worth automating and with what, and build it. Tell us<\/a> which process is eating up your hours and we’ll tell you whether it can be fixed and how much work it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
