| Math visualization | Interactive Math Visualization + Strict Math modes | Text and artifacts; no native interactive math plot mode |
| Conversation branching | Fork threads to compare approaches in one project | Parallel work is usually separate chats or projects |
| Multi-agent depth | Ultra Mode on Pro for multi-perspective synthesis | Claude-native product features on Anthropic’s tiers |
| Pricing shape | Pro $14.99/month or Lifetime with own API keys | Claude Pro monthly (Anthropic list pricing; region may vary) |

| Best for | Writers and builders who also need GPT, Gemini, or math modes | Users who want the deepest pure Claude product experience |
