ChatGPT Exporter is one of the biggest extensions in this category, with around 200,000 Chrome Web Store users. It adds export buttons to the ChatGPT page so you can save the conversation you are reading as PDF, Markdown, text, CSV, JSON or an image. ChatExports is a browser-based converter for the official data export you download from ChatGPT and eight other platforms. Below is the specification comparison, including the rows where they beat us.
ChatGPT Exporter is the better free tool for saving the chat currently open in front of you. ChatExports is the better buy if you want your whole history as documents, from more than one platform, without a daily PDF cap and without paying every month.

There is a genuine free tier: Markdown, text, CSV, JSON and image exports, plus 3 PDFs per day. Removing branding and raising the PDF cap requires Starter at $1.99/month or Standard at $2.99/month, both billed yearly.
It works from the page you are on, so bulk history is not its strength. ChatExports reads the official export archive, which contains every conversation on the account, so the whole history is there in one file with no scrolling.
ChatExports never uploads anything: parsing and file generation happen in your browser tab. ChatGPT Exporter is an extension with access to your ChatGPT pages, which is a broader permission than a web page has, though many people are comfortable with it.
Not in the same extension. The same publisher lists separate Claude Exporter and Gemini Exporter products. ChatExports covers nine platforms in one $25 purchase.
ChatExports is $25, once. Standard at $2.99/month billed yearly is about $36 a year, so roughly $108 over three years, and that is for ChatGPT alone.
