You don’t have to pay for GPT-4. OpenAI has made GPT-4o, a more advanced version of GPT-4, available for free to all users. This model supports text, image, and audio inputs, offering faster processing and improved conversational flow compared to its predecessor. It is accessible through the ChatGPT interface without any subscription.
Free Access to GPT-4o
ChatGPT Free Users
- You can access GPT-4 directly through the ChatGPT platform. While free users have some limitations, such as a reduced number of messages per hour, they still benefit from the advanced capabilities of GPT-4o.
Other Platforms
- Some third-party platforms and browser extensions may also offer free access to GPT-4o, though availability and features can differ.
Paid Access
ChatGPT Plus
- For $20/month, ChatGPT Plus subscribers receive benefits like faster response times, higher usage limits, and priority access to new features.
OpenAI API
- Developers can access GPT-4o through the OpenAI API by adding at least $5 in credit to their account. This allows for integration of GPT-4o into custom applications.
While GPT-4o is available for free to all users through ChatGPT, there are paid options like ChatGPT Plus and the OpenAI API that offer additional features and higher usage limits.
