// Positioning is Promptive's editorial read of the category — including where rivals beat us. Feature data is sourced from public pricing & docs, reviewed May 2026; tiers change often, so verify before buying.
A ✓ means it's on the base plan. A tag (Pro, Ent, Custom, Add-on) means it exists but costs extra or sits on a higher tier. This is where the 'all engines!' marketing claims fall apart — including, honestly, our own: Claude is a Pro feature on Promptive.
