Highlighted rows are where these differ.
Claude Code
- Built as an agent, not an assistant
- Discovers and reads files unprompted
- Strongest on multi-file reasoning
Best for autonomous work.
Dots
- Each dot gets its own cloud computer and browser, on GPT-6 Astra
- Reaches the 4,000 or so apps already connected to ChatGPT, and delegates to sub-agents
- Nothing on Free, Go or Plus, and not for Pro users in the EEA, Switzerland or the UK
Best for work that continues without you.
