ChatGPT vs Gemini: weird tests that expose real differences
Instead of benchmarks, I ran both models through a set of internet-famous “trap tests” — the kind designed to expose blind spots, not show best-case performance. These include: - the 7-finger hand test - the “Swiss cheese font” test - the car wash logic test All prompts were taken or adapted from real discussions and used without optimization.

How I score and review a tool
-
Step 1
I sign up and pay
No free trials gamed for a quick screenshot. I buy an actual subscription (or use the free tier the way a real user would) so I'm seeing the same experience you will.
-
Step 2
I set one specific goal
Before opening any tool, I define the task — something concrete like "build a landing page for a SaaS product" or "write a week of social content for a fitness brand." Every tool on the list gets the same goal, no exceptions.
-
Step 3
I send the exact same prompt to every tool
Word for word. Same prompt, same context, same constraints. This is the only way to compare output quality fairly — if the prompt changes, the comparison is meaningless.
-
Step 4
I score the results side by side
Output quality, speed, ease of use, and value for the price — scored out of 10 and averaged into the rating you see on this page. No affiliate deals influence the ranking. The number is the number.

ChatGPT
ChatGPT is one of the most widely used AI assistants in the world. People use it for all kinds of problem-solving: from coding, SEO, and marketing to relationship advice. In recent times, it has its fair share of controversy and is in a constant battle with its main competitor, Claude, but regardless, it's a tool nobody can skip.
Windsurf
Windsurf is an AI-powered code editor built by Codeium. If you're used to VS Code, you'll feel right at home. Windsurf is built on the same foundation — more beginner-friendly than Claude Code, and slightly more affordable than Cursor.
Cursor is one of the most popular AI code editors in the world right now — and for good reason. It's built on VS Code, so if you've ever written a line of code, the interface will feel instantly familiar. It's fast, intuitive, and offers a free tier to get you started without spending a cent.
Antigravity is Google's try at an IDE for agentic AI development. Totally 100% FREE and competing with the major players in the industry.
