Usage rose from 1,112 sessions in mid‑January to 17,648 in the second week of March, but the figure reflects session frequency, not people leaving chatgpt.\n\nSurista Co., Ltd. surveyed 400 office workers in May 2026.  Of 153 respondents who use AI at work, 60.8% used chatgpt, 49.7% used gemini, 41.8% used microsoft copilot, and 7.8% used claude. 49% used multiple AIs.  The AI Index 2026 shows a 22‑point gap between anthropic’s claude (1,503) and openai’s chatgpt (1,481), a difference that has barely changed.\n\nThe guide lists six criteria for deciding whether to switch, including comparing prompt results, checking company policy, timing of edits, feature fit, and a one‑month paid‑version test.  Prices cited are chatgpt plus $20/month, claude pro $20/month ($17/month annually), google ai pro 2,900 yen/month, google ai plus 725 yen/month, and chatgpt go 1,400 yen/month.  A Persol survey found an average 26.4‑minute weekly time saving, about 1 hour 46 minutes over four weeks, but only 25% saw a reduction in working hours.","keyPoints":["usage of claude rose 1487% in corporate sessions, not user migration","surista survey: 60.8% chatgpt, 7.8% claude, 49% multi‑AI use","anthropic’s claude scores 1,509 vs chatgpt 1,483 in arena, 54% vs 46% win probability"],"whyItMatters":"The data shows that performance differences between top AIs are small, so cost, policy, and feature fit become decisive for businesses.  Knowing how to evaluate and switch can save time and money for marketers and small‑business owners.","category":{"slug":"marketing","name":"Marketing & Small Business","url":"https://digestai.news/category/marketing"},"entities":{"companies":["OpenAI","Anthropic","Google","Microsoft","Larridin","Surista Co., Ltd."],"models":["Claude","ChatGPT","Gemini","Microsoft Copilot"],"people":[]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-09-28T16:37:00Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-28T16:37:00Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"note.com","title":"Should You Switch from ChatGPT to Claude? 8 Criteria for Choosing an AI","url":"https://note.com/tukaeru_ai/n/n268a64f2773e?hl=en","publishedAt":"2026-09-28T16:37:00Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"Users switching from ChatGPT to Claude surge 1487%\", 28 September 2026, https://digestai.news/story/users-switching-from-chatgpt-to-claude-surge-1487","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"Users switching from ChatGPT to Claude surge 1487%","datePublished":"2026-09-28T16:37:00Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/users-switching-from-chatgpt-to-claude-surge-1487"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
