Our take
Pick ChatGPT if everyone who wants a hosted general assistant — writing, Q&A, light research, images. Pick Rytr if founders and account owners who will connect email/Slack and review drafts before anything sends. Skip ChatGPT if teams that cannot send prompts to OpenAI, or developers who need a repo-aware IDE (Cursor) or a local runtime (Ollama). Skip Rytr if people who need a scored ads canvas (Anyword) or inline
