Both Blackbox AI and ChatGPT offers IA solutions for developper to improve their productivity. So which solution is better for code?

We’ve compiled a comparison utilizing the prevalent parameters we’ve come across in our development experience, coupled with our extensive service to the developer community over numerous years. From our perspective, these parameters represent the critical requirements, challenges, and pain points that AI code assistants should address.

  • Functionality: Each company has its own features for developers
  • HumanEval (0-shot): Benchmark for Python code completion task (Chen et al., 2021), zero-shot evaluated for pass@1
  • Price: Price point for each user in the organization
  • Supported platform: on which platform can we find each AI

What is BLACKBOX AI?

BLACKBOX AI completely redefines your coding experience. A codebase represents hours of thought, testing, and above all, coding. There are challenging moments that require great knowledge and concentration, but also frustrating, boring, and tedious moments during certain repetitive but necessary tasks.

BLACKBOX AI has been designed to meet every stage of your development, so you can code faster, but also to enlighten you, and provide precise answers to your questions, saving you valuable time that you could have lost searching for obsolete solutions on specialized forums.

What is ChatGPT Plus?

ChatGPT Plus is a subscription plan for ChatGPT. It offers availability even when demand is high, faster response speed, and priority access to new features.
