Short summary:
- Context: Claude Pro typically offers larger native context windows and stronger retention across very long docs; ChatGPT Plus (GPT‑4 variants) handles large inputs but often needs chunking.
- Workflow: Chunk 10–20k-token sections, create section summaries, then synthesize to avoid context loss.
- Cost: estimate tokens ≈0.75×words; cost = (input+output tokens)/1,000 × model price per 1k. Run a small pilot on typical docs to measure real cost.
