Claude vs ChatGPT for data analysis

On llmwise Pro, Claude Sonnet 5.5 gets up to 125 messages a month and GPT-6 Sol up to 125 messages a month. ChatGPT is OpenAI's own app for its GPT models; llmwise has GPT models in its own chat, not ChatGPT itself. We ran the same 5 data analysis prompts on all 5 Claude models and all 3 GPT models and published every reply: the results, then Claude Sonnet 5.5 against GPT-6 Luna prompt by prompt, then how Claude and GPT compare on price per message, context and files.

Based on 40 of our test runs on , through OpenRouter with the app's own prompt and settings. Updated .

Short answer

In our data analysis test runs on September 28, 2026, Claude's 5 models passed 22 of 25; Claude Fable 5.1, Claude Opus 5.5, and Claude Sonnet 5.5 each passed 5 of 5. GPT's 3 models passed 15 of 15; GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6 Sol, and GPT-6 Luna each passed 5 of 5. Claude Sonnet 5.5 and GPT-6 Luna each passed 5 of the 5 prompts, so these data analysis prompts don't split Claude and GPT; the replies on this page show how they differ.

Claude: 22 of 25 replies passed; GPT: 15 of 15 replies passed. Messages used is what each reply counted as on Pro; cost is what OpenRouter charged us per reply.

Every limit is published. Paid plans also have a monthly fair-use limit on AI cost: Pro $7.50, Max $20, Ultra $42, Studio $85. Using every message on your plan at typical sizes stays under it; very large messages and heavy research use it faster. Every limit, explained.

Questions

Which is better, Claude or ChatGPT for data analysis?

In our data analysis test runs on September 28, 2026, Claude's 5 models passed 22 of 25; Claude Fable 5.1, Claude Opus 5.5, and Claude Sonnet 5.5 each passed 5 of 5. GPT's 3 models passed 15 of 15; GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6 Sol, and GPT-6 Luna each passed 5 of 5. Claude Sonnet 5.5 and GPT-6 Luna each passed 5 of the 5 prompts, so these data analysis prompts don't split Claude and GPT; the replies on this page show how they differ.

Is Claude or GPT cheaper?

In llmwise, the least expensive Claude model is Claude Haiku 4.5 (250 messages a month on Pro), and the least expensive GPT model is GPT-6 Luna (60 messages a day on Pro). At API list prices (September 2026), a typical message of 4,000 tokens in and 700 out costs $0.0075 on Claude Haiku 4.5 and $0.0008 on GPT-6 Luna.

Can I use Claude and GPT in the same chat?

Yes. Ask Claude Sonnet 5.5 a question, then switch the picker to GPT-6 Luna and ask again: GPT-6 Luna sees the whole conversation, Claude Sonnet 5.5's answer included.
