ChatGPT Free vs Paid: Will Upgrading Actually Improve Your Experience?
OpenAI offers three main subscription tiers for ChatGPT: a free tier, ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Pro. The free tier provides limited access to the latest model and restricts features such as image generation and video creation. ChatGPT Plus, priced at $20 per month, expands usage limits, grants access to legacy models, the Sora video generator (720p, 10‑second clips with a watermark), and the AI Agent tool. ChatGPT Pro, costing $200 per month, unlocks the most advanced GPT‑5 Pro model, higher‑resolution video creation (1080p, longer clips without watermarks), and broader feature access. Users must weigh their needs against the cost and capabilities of each plan. Leia mais →

AI Chatbot Subscriptions Rise to $200‑Plus Per Month Amid Unclear Profitability
Premium AI chatbot plans from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI and others now cost roughly $200‑$300 a month.
