Why choose Magicdoor over other options

When the idea for Magicdoor first came up, we knew there had to be many options out there. Even now, whenever we talk or post about Magicdoor, inevitably someone will ask; "how is this different from [insert name of AI tool here]?" Even though we looked around and tried many of the other options, sometimes we haven't even heard of the tools other people mention.

The bottom-line is that there is a ridiculous number of AI tools out there and we are one of thousands, but we still believe Magicdoor is the best option for those who just want to get shit done. For those who want to endlessly tinker, or those looking for a way to generate NSFW content, there are better options out there.

  • But if you use AI almost every day for productive purposes, both at home at work, Magicdoor is for you.
  • If you find there is a noticeable difference between ChatGPT and Claude, but you don't want to pay for both, Magicdoor is for you.
  • If you find Perplexity's search clearly superior to ChatGPT's, but you don't like it for writing or to generate images, Magicdoor is for you.

There are many great other multi-model AI tools out there, and based on our analysis they can be categorized in the following groups:

Developer tools

Typingmind, Nat.dev, Openrouter, and many others are really for the tinkerers and developers. They are great to learn in-depth differences between models, or for building your own AI tools, but they are not for the average user.

In these tools, you'll have to decide whether you want to use GPT-4o-20240620 or GPT-4o-20241120. Who cares? Magicdoor just gives you the latest version.

You can also use GPT 3.5 or GPT 4 Turbo, which some hardcore AI users still insist is better than GPT-4o (most analysis shows this is not the case). Why would you want want to do this?

You can also play around with every version of LLama, Gemini, Mistral, and many, many more. It's completely overwhelming and performance-wise Claude and GPT-4o are on top.

More expensive options

Poe and you.com are both great tools, but they are both more expensive than Magicdoor. With Poe's free plan you can only use GPT-4o-mini and other sub-par models. To access GPT-4o and Claude you'll need to pay $20 per month. On Magicdoor, you'll get more for under $10.

You.com is closest to Magicdoor in intent, and it has more features right now, but it's a lot more expensive, starting at $20 per month to get access to the better models. Personally, we also don't like the lack of transparency in the offering. In some use cases it seems like you can't see which model is being used.

Tools for specific use cases

Of course many tools do one thing really well, and that's why they are popular. They usually have a very limited free plan and will cost anywhere from $10 to $20 per month for the premium version. The problem with this, is that pretty soon you'll have multiple subscriptions running. At one point I was paying over $60 per month for various AI tools. This is exactly the reaosn why Magicdoor was created. It's still early days, but our plan is to build top use cases and include them in the basic plan, or offer them for a low add-on price.

The goal is that no matter what, you'll get a far better deal, more control, and more transparency than with any other tool out there.
