Should you pay for ChatGPT Plus when the free ChatGPT is getting better and better?

According to TechRadar , OpenAI has just released a major update to ChatGPT, bringing many premium features free to all users, making the paid ChatGPT Plus package less attractive.

With ChatGPT-4o, free users can now interact with the chatbot about files and photos, analyze data, create charts, and access the internet for more accurate answers. This begs the question of whether it's still worth paying $20/month for ChatGPT Plus.

While ChatGPT Plus still has some exclusive features like custom GPT creation, higher usage limits, and early access to new features, these benefits don't seem to be compelling enough for the average user anymore.

There are many theories as to why OpenAI decided to upgrade its free plan. Some believe it is a stepping stone to the launch of GPT-5 or new features exclusive to paid users. However, it is more likely that OpenAI is focused on attracting new users and increasing the popularity of ChatGPT, rather than on revenue from paid plans.

The move could also be to compete with rivals like Meta AI and Google Gemini, which offer many of the same features but are completely free.

However, ChatGPT Plus users can still look forward to future improvements. If you are considering subscribing to ChatGPT Plus, it might be worth waiting a bit longer to see if OpenAI comes up with more attractive offers.
