ChatGPT vs. ChatGPT Plus: Is a paid subscription still worth it?

When GPT-4 was OpenAI's most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) large language model (LLM), paying 20 a month to access it with a subscription to ChatGPT Plus was a no-brainer for many users. However, since OpenAI announced the availability of GPT-4o, the choice is a bit more complicated. In May 2024, OpenAI revealed an omnimodel that makes GPT-4-level intelligence accessible to everyone. Free users can also access features previously reserved for paid subscribers, including the GPT Store for custom GPT bots; the Memory feature to give their conversations continuity; uploading photos and documents to discuss them with ChatGPT; web browsing; and advanced data analysis. More recently, OpenAI launched GPT-4o mini as the default model for free users to replace GPT-3.5.
