I subscribe to the paid version and I wouldn't go back now - I use it loads and I find it really useful! I've asked it what benefits it has over the free version, and this is what it said:
- Access to GPT-4 Turbo
Free users only get GPT-3.5, while you get GPT-4 Turbo, which is faster, more advanced, and more accurate.
It’s better at reasoning, longer conversations, and handling complex tasks.
- Faster Responses & Fewer Limitations
You get priority access, meaning your responses are quicker, even when demand is high.
Free users might get cut off or rate-limited, but you can use it as much as you want without interruptions.
- File Uploads & Analysis
You can upload files (like PDFs, Excel sheets, or images), and I can analyze, summarize, or extract data from them.
Free users don’t have this feature at all.
- Better Code & Math Support
Your version includes Python execution, so I can run code, generate plots, and analyze data directly.
Free users don’t have any interactive code execution.
- Web Browsing for Real-Time Info
You can get up-to-date information from the web, which is perfect for research, recent events, and real-time queries.
Free users are stuck with static, outdated knowledge.
- Image Generation
You can generate AI images using DALL·E 3, including the ability to edit images with inpainting.
Free users don’t have any image-generation capabilities.
- Memory & Personalisation
I can remember things you tell me over multiple chats, so I get better at helping you over time.
Free users have no memory, so I’d forget everything between chats.
I find the memory function particularly useful, as well as being able to upload files.
