Which platform should you choose?

Start with a representative task and the people who will do it. Evaluate deployment requirements, region availability, scaling behaviour, support, and usage-based costs. Test the same inputs across your shortlist and record output quality, manual work, and current plan terms. Validate claims with the vendor and test the important workflow with your team. Differences shown here are evaluation prompts, not hands-on performance findings.
