4 Ways Copilot Pro Surpasses ChatGPT Plus
Microsoft stands as OpenAI's primary investor, having infused billions of
dollars into the latter entity. Now, the fruits of this investment are
becoming apparent for Microsoft. While OpenAI's ChatGPT Plus has
historically been the go-to for top-tier AI capabilities, it has now been
surpassed by Microsoft's Copilot Pro subscription. Despite initial
skepticism from many Windows 11 users regarding Microsoft's full embrace of
Copilot, the service has made significant strides since its preview mode
debut. We've reached a juncture where it can be unequivocally stated:
Copilot Pro outshines ChatGPT as the superior AI subscription. Here are four
reasons supporting this assertion.
Comprehensive Features
Copilot Pro offers a comprehensive suite of features, including a mobile
app, custom GPTs, and image creation tools. Microsoft's Copilot Pro
subscription, priced at $20 per month per user, holds several advantages
over ChatGPT Plus. However, its superiority hinges on its ability to match
ChatGPT's extensive feature set. Remarkably, Copilot seems poised to offer
nearly identical feature parity. Microsoft already offers a Copilot app for
iOS and Android, and plans to integrate it into the Microsoft 365 app suite.
In our testing, Copilot's mobile experience proves just as robust, if not
superior, compared to using the ChatGPT mobile app.
A significant area where Copilot Pro excels is in image generation and
custom GPTs. With Copilot Pro, users gain access to OpenAI's DALL-E 3 image
creation model, allowing Copilot to compete with top-tier image creation
tools. Furthermore, image creation is expedited with Copilot, leveraging the
Image Creator from Designer, formerly known as Bing Image Creator. Copilot
Pro subscribers receive 100 boosts daily for faster image creation, and the
AI tool excels at generating high-quality landscape-oriented images.
Additionally, Copilot Pro introduces Copilot GPTs, which users can customize
to suit their specific requirements, equivalent to ChatGPT's custom GPTs. In
sum, Microsoft's ability to compete with Copilot Pro stems from its success
in making it as versatile as ChatGPT Plus.
Microsoft 365 Integration
Perfect for education and enterprise users, Copilot Pro seamlessly
integrates with Microsoft 365, offering a significant advantage over
ChatGPT. Microsoft can seamlessly embed Copilot Pro into its array of
products and services, as demonstrated by its integration with Microsoft
365. Copilot Pro subscribers with Microsoft 365 Personal or Family plans can
leverage Copilot within Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook. While
Copilot functionality in Excel remains in preview, all other integrated
programs are publicly available.
The integration of Copilot into Microsoft 365 enables a myriad of AI-powered
functionalities within these applications. For instance, in Microsoft Word,
Copilot serves as a text generator, allowing users to generate content
directly within documents. It can also rewrite and transform existing text,
generate summaries, offer advice, and more. While ChatGPT can perform
similar actions, it lacks the capability to do so within the Microsoft 365
suite. Moreover, Copilot can even generate PowerPoint presentations from
Word documents, a feat beyond ChatGPT's capabilities. Consequently, Copilot
within Microsoft 365 is more user-friendly and accessible, eliminating the
need to navigate between multiple apps and sites.
Windows Integration
Copilot Pro enjoys seamless integration with Windows 11, offering users
unparalleled convenience. Accessing Copilot on Windows 11 computers is
effortless, as it is readily available in the taskbar. Users can interact
with Copilot without launching a web browser, further enhancing
accessibility. Microsoft intends to introduce a dedicated Copilot key on
Windows laptops, simplifying Copilot activation. By pressing the button
adjacent to the right-hand alt key, users can launch the AI chatbot
effortlessly. Despite opinions on Microsoft's integration strategy, there's
no denying that these initiatives make using Copilot more convenient than
ChatGPT.
GPT-4 Turbo
Copilot Pro harnesses OpenAI's premier AI model, while ChatGPT Plus falls
short.

Undoubtedly, the primary motivation for end users to invest $20 monthly in
either Copilot Pro or ChatGPT Plus lies in accessing cutting-edge AI models.
The basic version of ChatGPT operates on the GPT-3.5 model, with the Plus
subscription upgrading to the GPT-4 model. In contrast, Copilot's free
version operates on GPT-4, while the paid version exclusively utilizes GPT-4
Turbo, making it the sole mainstream chatbot equipped with this technology.
It's somewhat surprising that Microsoft, despite its close partnership with
OpenAI as an investor, exclusively offers OpenAI's latest and most advanced
AI models through Copilot Pro.
Leveraging GPT-4 Turbo translates to faster and higher-quality responses
from Copilot Pro. With a context window spanning roughly 300 pages of text,
it stands as OpenAI's pinnacle AI model. Despite its costliness, Copilot Pro
offers the most economical route for frequent users seeking access to this
advanced technology. Objectively, Copilot Pro outshines ChatGPT Plus as a
superior AI chatbot.
Do You Truly Require an AI Subscription?
While ChatGPT Plus may have been the precursor, it's evident that Copilot
Pro currently reigns supreme. However, the pertinent query revolves around
the necessity of investing in an AI chatbot subscription. Individuals
requiring AI for data analysis and generative tools within Microsoft 365
might find Copilot Pro beneficial. Similarly, those desiring access to GPT-4
Turbo via subscription are limited to Copilot Pro. Nonetheless, my
experience with the free version of Copilot left me content, suggesting it
suffices for most users.
