Finally had a client extend my contract instead of ending after the first month. It’s not a huge retainer, but honestly feels like proof I’m doing something right. Curious though—what do you guys usually do to increase rates with existing clients without making it awkward?

Been using both for over a year now and the difference is clear ChatGPT is great for quick ideas, brainstorming, bullet points, anything fast. but the moment you need something that actually sounds human client emails, long-form content, onboarding docs Claude wins every time. the writing just flows better and needs way less editing. started splitting my workflow about 6 months ago and the quality of what I deliver to clients went up noticeably. if you're using just one for everything you're probably leaving quality on the table
