Claude Prompt to Compare Offers
Comparing offers—whether for software subscriptions, insurance, B2B suppliers, or simple online purchases—is a time-consuming task that requires rigor and method. Claude excels at this exercise thanks to its ability to structure information, identify relevant comparison criteria, and highlight subtle differences between multiple proposals. Rather than juggling between tabs or PDFs, you can provide Claude with the details of each offer and receive a clear, objective, and personalized comparative analysis based on your priorities. The AI does not just list features: it weighs criteria according to your context, flags hidden costs, identifies unfavorable clauses, and delivers a well-supported recommendation. Whether you are an individual torn between two plans or a professional buyer evaluating complex quotes, Claude turns a tedious comparison into an informed decision in minutes.
Paste in your AI
Paste this prompt in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and customize the variables in brackets.
You are an expert comparison analyst. I will provide you with several offers to compare. For each offer, I will give you the available details (price, features, terms, commitment period, etc.).
Here are the offers to compare:
[Paste the details of each offer here]
My context: [Describe your need, budget, and priorities]
Analyze these offers following this method:
- Comparison table: Create a summary table with all relevant criteria identified in the offers
- Real cost analysis: Calculate the total cost over 12 and 24 months, including hidden fees, mandatory options, and planned increases
- Strengths and weaknesses: For each offer, list 3 strengths and 3 weaknesses
- Differentiating criteria: Identify the elements that truly set the offers apart
- Alerts: Flag any problematic clauses, hidden costs, or unfavorable conditions
- Recommendation: Provide a personalized recommendation based on my context, with a clear justification
Be factual, precise, and do not hesitate to ask for clarifications if information is missing.

Why this prompt works
This prompt works because it imposes a structured six-step methodology that prevents the AI from producing a vague or superficial response. By explicitly asking for the user context, it allows Claude to weight criteria according to actual priorities rather than making a generic comparison. Including alerts on hidden costs and problematic clauses leverages Claude's ability to spot details that the human eye might miss during a quick read.

Expected Output
You will get a comprehensive comparison table followed by a detailed analysis of each offer, including calculation of real costs over time, strengths and weaknesses of each proposal, and alerts on potential pitfalls. Claude will conclude with a personalized, reasoned recommendation tailored to your specific context and stated priorities.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many offers can Claude compare at once?
Claude can effectively compare up to 6-8 offers in a single analysis. Beyond that, comparison quality may decline because the tables become hard to read. For more than 8 offers, split the process into two steps: first, ask for a shortlist of the 3-4 best offers based on your main criteria, then request a detailed comparison of that refined selection.
How should I provide offer details to Claude to get the best comparison?
The most efficient method is to directly copy and paste the content from the offer pages or quotes. Structure each offer with a clear title (Offer A, Offer B, etc.) and separate them visually. The more details you provide (price, terms, fine print, commitment duration, additional fees), the more relevant the analysis will be. If you have PDFs, copy the relevant text. Don't hesitate to include the general terms and conditions if the financial stakes justify it.
Can Claude detect hidden costs in a commercial offer?
Yes, that's one of its strong points. Claude can identify setup fees, price increases after a promotional period, options charged separately but presented as included, termination fees, and automatic renewal clauses with price hikes. However, it can only analyze the information you provide: remember to include the general terms and conditions and the asterisks in the offers for a complete analysis.
