In this episode I break down whether it’s actually worth paying for ChatGPT or sticking with the free tier. I walk through the concrete differences between free and Plus, talk honestly about what matters and what doesn’t, and explain why “worth it” is always subjective. This episode is less about convincing you and more about giving you enough clarity to decide for yourself.
Main Topics Covered
Why I avoided this episode
Ethics and discomfort around paying for AI
Why “worth it” is subjective
Free vs Plus vs Pro tiers
Why Pro is an immediate no
What the free tier includes
What the Plus tier unlocks
What actually matters in real usage
Usage caps, throttling, and limits
Memory, Projects, Tasks, and Custom GPTs
Who should and shouldn’t pay
Trying Plus without commitment
Where OpenAI might be headed
