ChatGPT

58FIT /100

A shortlist candidate for mixed writing, research, coding and image workflows. GPT-6 Intelligent UI is rolling out in Chat: paid tiers use Sol and Free/Go use Luna; Pro reasoning excludes Intelligent UI, and Work/Codex models are unchanged by this release. Check the exact plan, product surface and UK feature availability. The new visual-ad placement has a separate access and measurement boundary; independent same-work testing is pending and no HubAI Score is assigned.

Best for
Everyday work, research, writing, coding and multimodal assistants
Price
Free consumer entry; paid Go, Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise routes. No GBP amount was exposed in the public page checked; obtain the signed-in UK checkout quote. API billing is separate; advertising uses separate campaign billing terms. · Recorded check: 15 October 2026. Currency and UK VAT to confirm.
Free / trial
Free access has feature limits; GPT-6 Intelligent UI expansion to Free/Go starts 8 October, with individual UK account entitlement unverified. The new visual advertising format is a planned US test, not a UK trial entitlement.

Claude

58FIT /100

A strong shortlist candidate for document-heavy work, repeat business coordination and supervised parallel coding. The Projects beta is initially limited to selected Pro and Max accounts; usage, cloud boundaries and merge burden need a same-repository pilot. Independent testing is pending and no HubAI Score is assigned.

Best for
Long documents, careful reasoning, supervised coding projects, governed team collaboration and third-party MCP or skill extensions
Price
USD list prices: Free $0; Pro $20/month or $200 billed upfront for a year; Max starts at $100/month. Team Standard $20 per seat/month billed annually or $25 monthly; Premium $100 per seat/month billed annually or $125 monthly. Applicable taxes and usage conditions are separate. · Recorded check: 15 October 2026. USD list price; UK price/VAT to confirm.
Free / trial
Small Business plugin requires a paid plan (supplier fact recorded 26 September 2026). Free Claude access is not a trial of plugin submission, the Small Business plugin, Claude Code Projects or the Team-only initial personal-connector rollout
Watch-out
Projects beta access is staged and not yet available to Team or Enterprise; personal connectors in Claude Tag have a separate Team-first rollout

NORMALISATION RULE

A score is only useful when the test matches the category.

Video tools are judged differently from code assistants. HubAI keeps the four shared dimensions visible, then adds a job-specific test plan to every comparison.
