Our take
Pick ChatGPT if everyone who wants a hosted general assistant — writing, Q&A, light research, images. Pick Suno AI if creators who want a song from a sentence and will accept Suno’s models and credit meter. 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 Suno AI if people who need stem-level mixing in a DAW, or speech-only
