I asked Claude and ChatGPT to build the same thing: a tiny 3D winter cabin you can play with in the browser. Same prompt, word for word. Log cabin, snowy pines, a frozen pond, smoking chimney, falling snow, and a panel to change time of day, ice color and snowfall. Each got two tries. Here's round two, side by side, rotating in sync. Claude Opus 5.5 — $6.50 
ChatGPT — $5.80 What I noticed: •ChatGPT's page wouldn't open at all. It sat on "Gathering the snowfall…" forever. One missing line of code. I added it so we could compare.

Clean, calm, very "design studio". •At night is where it splits. Claude flips the whole page to dark with stars and an aurora. ChatGPT just dims the scene. 70 cents more for a page that actually loads and has an aurora. Which…

The prompt behind it.

Original prompt
icicles, string lights, a wreath on the door, a sled, footprints to the pond, and an aurora at night.

•ChatGPT's typography and panel are genuinely nice. Clean, calm, very "design studio".

•At night is where it splits. Claude flips the whole page to dark with stars and an aurora. ChatGPT just dims the scene.

70 cents more for a page that actually loads and has an aurora.
