Tool Comparison: Claude vs. ChatGPT vs. Cursor for Vibe Coding 🔍
One of the most common questions I get: "Which AI tool should I use?" Here’s my honest breakdown after building with all of them extensively.
CLAUDE (Anthropic): Best for: Complex reasoning, long-form code generation, understanding nuanced business requirements. Standout feature: Artifacts — Claude can build and preview React components, HTML pages, and more right in the chat. My take: This is my primary tool. When I need to think through a complex build or need high-quality code, Claude is my go-to.
CHATGPT (OpenAI): Best for: Quick answers, broad knowledge, image generation. Standout feature: Wide plugin ecosystem and GPT store. My take: Great for research and quick questions, but for sustained coding sessions, Claude produces more reliable code.
CURSOR: Best for: Building full applications with file management. Standout feature: Works directly in your codebase, understands your entire project. My take: Once you graduate from single-file prototypes to real apps, Cursor is where you go.
MY RECOMMENDATION FOR BEGINNERS: Start with Claude for learning and prototyping. Move to Cursor when you’re ready to build full applications. Use ChatGPT as a supplementary research tool.
