OpenAI

The biggest AI company in the world right now. But not the best one. Codex handles coding work pretty well, and it's even cheaper than Claude with higher limits. ChatGPT itself has average performance for both research/text and image generation. Pick this AI for development if you can't afford Claude, or if you want to use them together for different tasks. The Plus plan at $20/month is the sweet spot for most people. Pro at $200/month unlocks unlimited access to the reasoning models. Free tier is decent but rate-limited. Oh and by the way - censorship here is on a very high level, which is a big downside, because Codex will often just refuse to do plenty of tasks for you.
