ChatGPT chatbot gains paid options. How much do you have to pay? What's in the free version?

 

"Although the basic version of this tool is still free, the platform is developing the GPT Store - with applications and services based on artificial intelligence. You already have to pay for them.

 

OpenAI strives to get the most out of its revolutionary AI-based tools and is constantly expanding with new features.

 

 The recently introduced memories option allows you to save your preferences, making chats more tailored to your preferences. 

 

ChatGPT will soon gain an improved voice mode, allowing you to interact with the platform more or less in real time.

 

ChatGPT can be free

 

OpenAI offers a range of ChatGPT plans, both paid and free, targeting customers ranging from individuals to non-profits, small and medium-sized businesses, educational institutions and enterprises.

 

Despite growing competition in the field of generative artificial intelligence, the creators of ChatGPT are entrenching their position as the industry dominator. They announced a package of new solutions. This includes: for the ChatGPT application for Mac computers or the free GPT-4 system.

 

Users who do not want to pay have access to OpenAI's flagship GPT-4o model, which provides answers enriched with content from the Internet, as well as access to the GPT store and the ability to upload files and photos or ask questions about the uploaded files. Users can also store chat preferences as "memories" and take advantage of ChatGPT's advanced data analytics feature, which can "parse" i.e. analyze data from files such as spreadsheets and PDF files.

 

However, the free ChatGPT plan has drawbacks, including daily capacity limits on the GPT-4o model. When a user reaches the limits, they are automatically – albeit temporarily – switched to the less efficient GPT-3.5 OpenAI model.

 

What you can get for a fee

 

TechCrunch has prepared a list of what you can count on when paying fees. And so, those looking for a more efficient solution can buy it for $20 monthly have ChatGPT Plus, which has five times the capacity of free ChatGPT, as well as early and priority access to newer tools such as macOS OpenAI for ChatGPT.

 

A free improved version of the popular bot - GPT-4o - and an alliance with Apple are moves that are expected to strengthen OpenAI's dominance in the generative artificial intelligence market. Will the rivals be able to repel the hegemon's attack?

 

Additionally, ChatGPT Plus subscribers get an enhanced data analytics feature powered by GPT-4o that allows you to create interactive charts and tables from your datasets. Users can upload files for analysis directly from Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive or from their devices.

 

Small business owners can have it for $30 per user per month or $25 per user per month, billed annually for up to 149 users. Above this level there are already options for large companies, which can choose ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT's plan aimed at enterprises. OpenAI does not publish pricing for ChatGPT Enterprise, but the reported cost is around $60 per user per month with a minimum of 150 users and a 12-month contract.

 

ChatGPT Enterprise adds "enterprise-grade" privacy and data analytics features to the core ChatGPT, as well as improved performance and customization options. There's a dedicated workspace and admin console with tools to manage how employees in your organization use ChatGPT.

 

From companies to universities to non-profit organizations

 

And ChatGPT Edu, a newer offering from OpenAI, provides a version of ChatGPT built for universities and their students, as well as faculty, researchers and campus operations teams. Prices have not yet been made public or even reported unofficially.

 

There is also an OpenAI offer for non-profit organizations, although it is not a separate version of the system, but a number of discounts for qualifying organizations. Nonprofit organizations can access the ChatGPT team at a discounted price of $20 per month per user. Larger nonprofit organizations can get 50 percent discount on ChatGPT Enterprise, which is about $30 per user. However, the eligibility requirements are quite stringent. While non-profit organizations based anywhere in the world can apply for discounts, OpenAI is not currently accepting applications from academic, medical, religious or government institutions."
