Dia vs Rill

Our take

Pick Dia if arc / The Browser Company users who want tab-aware chat and will pay for AI. Pick Rill if mac developers on Apple silicon (macOS 14+) who already pay Claude Code or Codex and will stay on Rill Free $0 while they send a first ⌘E task — not teams on Intel Macs, and not people hunting the rilldata BI repo. Skip Dia if people who want a $0 AI browser (Perplexity Comet) or who refuse a second Chromium.
