ChatGPT

ChatGPT has a free tier that covers most everyday use. ChatGPT is an AI chatbot and writing assistant that handles conversations, drafting, summarizing, email writing and coding help, and it can also run tasks for you.

The free plan gives access to GPT-4o mini and reasoning, standard voice mode, web search for current information, and custom GPTs.

Limited access to GPT-4o, file uploads, advanced data analysis and image generation is included too, so heavy users will hit caps.

Paid plans raise those limits.

Plus costs $20 a month and adds deep research, more reasoning models such as o3 and o4-mini, projects, tasks and limited Sora video generation.

Pro costs $200 a month and gives unlimited access to the reasoning models and GPT-4o, plus o1 pro mode and a research preview of the Codex agent.

Team costs $25 a month for two or more users and adds shared GPTs, an admin console, and data excluded from training by default.

Start free and upgrade only if the limits get in your way.
