Pros and cons

Claude

Pros

  • Free plan includes web search, file creation, code execution and memory
  • Artifacts show generated code and pages beside the chat
  • Claude Code is included with Pro, Max, Ultra and Team
  • Connectors use MCP to reach Slack, Google Workspace and other tools
  • Available on web, desktop, iOS and as a Chrome extension, plus an API and major cloud platforms

Cons

  • Usage limits on every plan, with weekly caps (and five-hour caps below Ultra) and no published message counts
  • Does not generate images
  • The higher individual tiers are costly: Max is $100 per month and Ultra is $200 per month
  • Linux desktop app is still in beta

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.
