Pros and cons

ChatGPT

Pros

  • One assistant covers text, voice, images, file analysis, search and coding
  • Free tier lets users try the service without a card
  • Apps for web, iOS, Android, macOS and Windows with synced history
  • Large ecosystem of connectors, projects and agent features
  • Plans range from $8 to $500 per month, so users can match spend to usage

Cons

  • Free and Go usage limits are low and may include ads
  • Pricing and model lineup change often, which makes limits hard to compare over time
  • Answers can be wrong and need checking, especially for facts and citations
  • The top Pro tiers cost $100 to $500 per month

Opera Neon

Pros

  • Combines chat, browser actions, research and content creation in one browser rather than a separate extension.
  • Neon Do shows its plan and actions in real time and can be paused or taken over.
  • Wide model choice across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI and open-weight models on the Standard plan.
  • MCP connector and CLI let external agents such as Claude Code or n8n use a live browser session.
  • Credentials, passwords and card details are stated to stay on the device, and Opera says it does not train on user data.
  • Free VPN and ad blocker are included in the browser.

Cons

  • Full agentic features need the $19.90 per month Standard plan, higher than many AI add-ons.
  • Windows and macOS only; no Linux, iOS or Android version yet.
  • Neon Do uses cloud LLMs to plan, and page content is sent to Opera and OpenAI servers with 365-day retention.
  • Opera itself calls Neon an experimental agentic browser, so behaviour and plan limits may change.
