Chatgpt comes in some different versions. Most people use the free version, which is so accessible that you do not even need to log in; You can ask this question, produce some images in a day, and find the web, without knowing anything about you without openi. You also get a limited access to an intensive research mode called “Think Deepers”.
However, if you are able to upgrade if you are able to upgrade slightly with chat than only the basics, then you will need to upgrade. There are some different paid versions of Chatgpt to consider. Each additional features provide, but it is plus and pro accounts that are most interested in individuals.
The Pro costs $ 200 per month (approximately £ 165 / AU $ 325) and is actually aimed at professional users, which require a lot of access to all the facilities of the flat. There is a plus account at the more affordable end of the spectrum, which costs more appropriate $ 20 (approximately £ 20 / AU $ 30) per month and must exceed adequate features to keep the average user happy.
After jumping on a plus account, I have found that the slap has become more and more useful for me. Here are the five reasons that I cannot go back to being a free chat user:
1. More picture
Once the chat added the ability to build its images originally, without outsourcing the Doll-E, people quickly came to know that it was incredibly capable of manipulating the images, and the AI viral image trends arose.
It (controversial) began with the implementation of the studio Ghibali style for people’s photographs, but soon flowed into the less morally suspect, but equally cute, showing topics such as changing their dog into a person or showing children, showing what they can see when they grow up and are doing their dream jobs.
It may look simple, but with a plus account, you get everything, and it means more images. On a free account, you often find that it will allow you to make a little more than some images a day (the exact number seems to be different per day), and then it suggests that you are doing, until your account refreshes tomorrow. When you have found mems to make and friends to be embarrassed by changing their pictures, this is not just enough image credit!
Being a chatgate plus subscriber, you can make 100 images a day in the chat, which is a limit that you will never reach really. In this way, you can make sure that when the situation calls for it you will always be able to set a quick image on fire.
2. Advanced voice mode
Talking to Siri or Alexa always hit me as unnatural and compelled; Half time, you were just struggling to understand your requests, and the other half of the time, you were just trying to get it to stop doing wrong.
Anyone who ever experiences Alexa (excellent) new Michael Kivanuka album and has to stop playing Michael card for the tenth time, I would know what I mean.
However, using chatted advanced voice mode is a completely different experience. Not only can you talk to chats such as it is a real person who has a personality of its own, but it also reacts in a natural way, so you do not need to adopt a strange artificial articular in an attempt to understand.
While talking to Siri or Alexa, there is a communist counterpart to write a telegram, talking to chat can feel like a teacher, an old friend, or even a chat with a physician.
But the best bit is that with a simple tap of an icon, Chatgpt can now ‘see’ through its phone camera, so it can answer questions about the world around you.
It is difficult to describe the difference that can make it, but it can be transformative: walking in the park can now be an opportunity to identify and name various trees, although the powers of the chat certainly do not stop on the leaves: Show a lot to the chat that you are watching and it can tell you what it is and gives some advice about it.
This can be particularly useful if you are receiving an error message on your computer and some help is required. Just indicate your phone on your screen, and Chatgpt can become a pocket technical support assistant.
I also have a good right that if you show it your child’s homework, it can come up with a lot of suggestions about how to solve that difficult mathematics equation, or the history of that problem on Germany of the 1930s. I mean, this is what I have heard; I could not comment further.
3. Sora video generation
The Sora video generation took the world from the storm when it was announced, and again when it was released in December last year. To reach Sora you need a supporter or plus account.
On a plus account you are limited to the length of the clips that you can make, and what resolution they are, but at least you have access, and you can make as many AI videos as you want: free chat users do not even get a sniffing in Sora’s AI video generation capabilities.
Large -scale our editor, Lance Ulnoff, described Sora as a surprisingly rich platform, provides simple tools to generate almost immediate real -looking videos “.
Sora uses an image as an early point for a video. You can only make something that you can imagine, and then turn it into a video. Using Sora is an exercise in pure fun, and it can once be quite intoxicated when you find out how easy it is to change your imagination into reality.
4. Even more deep research
A Chatgpt Plus account offers you almost unlimited access to intensive research, using a research preview of GPT-4.5, using several argument models (O4-Mini, O4-Mini-High, and O3). Deep research creates a complete report, whatever you are asking for the chat, including the source, and it is ready to join a presentation or report, if you need.
On a free account, you have only five in intensive research in a day. Now, this can be enough for most people, but the plus account has a lot of access.
Our writer Eric Schwartz has described intensive research as one of the most ambitious AI devices I tested, and I have to accept, I like it. It seems that there is a report of someone else who enjoys searching through the mourning of research for hidden gems.
5. Reliability
Sometimes, the chatgpt will go down completely. We still shake the memories of the great shutdown of June 2025, which was just a week ago, but still we have to feel cold. Even if it is not completely down, in daily use, chatgpt may be slightly sluggish, especially in hours of extreme use. This occurs when servers come under severe load and begin to struggle.
In these situations, it is a Chatgpt Plus users who get priority on free users. You will see it at the speed on which your requests are taken action, especially with image generation and intensive research.
Once you get a plus account, you can stop worrying whether it is going to chat with a simple query to go back to you.
One more thing
One thing that AI does not do very well is still a stand. Every three months, the industry changes and is almost unfamiliar with what was earlier. Openai is constantly adding new features, often on a weekly basis, and you can ensure that it is Pro and Plus users who will receive them first.
Ultimately, a version filters below for free users, but it is never as good or gives you as much access as customers get for payment. Also, you have to wait longer to get it. If you have received a plus account, you usually get the first access to whatever new Vizardry Openai is cooking, and it is always worth it.
