[ChatGPT] ★ 1/5 (v1.2026.279) — it just pushes u to subscribe
“[ChatGPT] ★★★ 3/5 (v1.2026.272) — 20 dollars for premium? When I could be spending it on 2 subscriptions in other platforms? Yea no. But the free chat is very good”
[ChatGPT] ★ 1/5 (v1.2026.267) — Lower your monthly fee low for poor people like me Thank you
“[ChatGPT] ★ 1/5 (v1.2026.267) — I payed for plus but I still run out of credits. Why should I pay for a subscription if I have to buy more credits it doesn’t make sense. It’s a scam”
“[ChatGPT] ★★ 2/5 (v1.2026.266) — I don’t know what’s up with this app it keeps asking for you to upgrade it and then for them to charge you you can’t just use ChatGPT unlimited”
“Is there any other way to use chatgpt? I mean , I know these two: 1) just pay for subscription 2) try to drive it locally mb. Is there any better ( by better I mean cheaper:)) way to use it? submitted by /u/Simple-Evidence-9125 [link] [comments]”
“[ChatGPT] ★★★ 3/5 (v1.2026.258) — I’m tempted to just delete it. When I was paying for a subscription, it wasn’t much better. But the ridiculous limits on the free version render it damn near useless. Google is better”
“[ChatGPT] ★★ 2/5 (v1.2026.251) — I’m trying to ask chat gpt for help,they shouldn’t be telling us to be paying for 126 dollars?! Are u crazy because that’s just so weird and stupid,I don’t recommend using this app if it’s for emergencies every minute,after atleast 5 minutes they will ask u to pay or wait a whole day,which is weird since this is a everyday assistant,if it’s everyday u shouldn’t be paying. I will be using a new app from now on”
“I currently have the free version of Chat GPT but hit my limit a lot, I use it for basic things like around the house. Not coding or anything fancy, just basic stuff like that. I don’t wanna pay $20 a month for plus, but I could do $8 for GO. My question is, is GO a huge improvement over the free version? submitted by /u/DaikonImpressive3339 [link] [comments]”
“[ChatGPT] ★ 1/5 (v1.2026.251) — Chat GPT makes a lot of mistakes. It works better and work mode with the subscription. But there’s a very very short time limit. And you gotta keep paying more money if you want to keep using it. For my experience to get about 15 minutes and then you gotta pay more money. I would say that this is a Great app until they start charging you for stuff. Even when you’re paying for a subscription. The subscription should handle everything. This app is gonna make you br”
“[ChatGPT] ★ 1/5 (v1.2026.244) — If I come into another pause with ChatGPT and I pay $19.99 every month, I will be getting rid of this app because you're not gonna treat me as if I pay zero dollars. No, I've never, ever, since I've signed up for my subscription, had a pause. Them telling me, wait an hour because I reached a limit. Never had it happen to me since I've had this subscription. I pay monthly. But they try to make you go pro, pause you to try to get more money out of you. You don't hav”
“[ChatGPT] ★ 1/5 (v1.2026.244) — I feel like for this to be an AI help app. Why is they trying to make me buy subscriptions?”
“[ChatGPT] ★ 1/5 (v1.2026.244) — paid $20 for one month and will never do it again, couldn’t do much the free version could. biggest scam ever”
“[ChatGPT] ★★ 2/5 (v1.2026.244) — It won’t do the job your asking for lacking a lot things and idk who is behind the whole thing that is asking for money 10 dollar a month should be okay for unlimited everything I’m used to using this otherwise I would use chines AI search for free and they are way smarter”
“[ChatGPT] ★★ 2/5 (v1.2026.237) — If you don’t pay for it then you’ll lost access to it because you don’t have the subscription. It’s pretty Annoying trying to figure out how to turn my deceased father’s facebook account into a remembrance and CHATGBT wasn’t letting me chat anymore because I ran out of time! That’s pretty annoying”
“[ChatGPT] ★ 1/5 (v1.2026.237) — Very less free features every few texts asking for subscription or new chat very annoying”
“[ChatGPT] ★ 1/5 (v1.2026.237) — chatgpt is intentionally the worse without a subscription.. wow, what a money grift… & when it was model 4o, it was sooo great, it felt smooth, it was still educational, i learned a lot from it. The new 5 model is awful, hate it so much, it’s causing me to no longer even want to bother with it. It’s seeming hard to even deal with. EDIT: nvm, i paid for the subscription only to find out, it’s simply chatgpt itself making all these horrible changes and it feels gro”
“[ChatGPT] ★★ 2/5 (v1.2026.237) — I love chat GPT but they keep trying to charge me. I will not pay for this. It should be free for everyone always.”
“[ChatGPT] ★ 1/5 (v1.2026.237) — I love using this but it is way too restrictive and requires a very expensive subscription”
“I just pay a monthly subscription? What’s this thing about tokens? Does it make ChatGPT more accurate?”
“[ChatGPT] ★★★ 3/5 (v1.2026.237) — Fun and useful. I use it more than the free limited times but not enough to justify the $20 fee. Wish there was a middle ground”
