500+ models on tap

GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Llama, Mistral and hundreds more, all in the same comparison.

Side-by-side answers

Every model answers the same prompt and the outputs sit next to each other, so differences are obvious at a glance.

Blind mode

Hide the model names until you pick a winner. Kills the brand bias that makes benchmark arguments useless.

Manual picks

Choose exactly which models face off, from frontier flagships to cheap workhorses.

Pay per model, not per seat

Each model bills its own normal token cost, about 6 credits per model on a typical prompt. Compare three models, pay for three.

Real outputs, not scores

You judge actual answers to your actual prompt, not an aggregate benchmark someone else ran on a task you do not care about.

Run a fair model test in four steps

Write one prompt

The task you actually care about: a coding problem, a tricky email, a reasoning puzzle.

Pick models, or go blind

Choose the contenders yourself or let blind mode hide names so the answers compete clean.

Read them side by side

Every answer renders in its own column. Speed, tone and correctness compare instantly.

Keep the winner

The model that earned it becomes your pick for the follow-ups. Costs stay per-model.

When to run a comparison

Pick your default model

Run your five most common prompts across the flagships once, then stop wondering.

Test a prompt before scaling

See which model handles your prompt style before you build a workflow around it.

Coding answers

Same bug, three explanations. The clearest one wins.

Writing and tone

Compare drafts on the same brief and keep the voice that fits.

Homework and research

Cross-check an answer across models instead of trusting one.

Copy a prompt, run it as /compare

What a comparison can and cannot tell you

One prompt is not a benchmark

A model that wins your haiku test might lose your code review. Run two or three prompts that match your real workload before deciding.

Every model bills itself

A flagship costs more per comparison than a mini. Comparing four premium models on a long prompt is a real spend, so check the estimate first.

Blind mode stays blind

Names stay hidden until you pick a winner. That is the point: if you already know which answer you want to win, do not go blind.

Model comparison questions

Is model comparison free?

Each comparison bills the models it runs at their normal token cost, about 6 credits per model. Pro starts at $20 per month.

How many models can I compare at once?

Two or more per run, from the 500+ models on Krater. Practical sweet spot is two to four, so the answers stay readable side by side.

What is blind mode?

The answers show up without model names. You pick the best answer first, then see which model wrote it, so brand preference cannot rig the result.

Does it work for image models too?

/compare is for chat models. For image models, run the same prompt in /image with different models selected, or browse the model directory for pricing.
