Which ChatGPT plan is actually worth it

Start on the free tier - it covers gpt chat on web and mobile. Go at $8/mo is the tier most people should start with - More messages than Free; More image generations. Step up to Pro ($200/mo) only when highest limits and top reasoning models matters - overkill for casual use. Business is billed per seat ($30/mo ($25/mo billed yearly)) - multiply by team size before comparing to a flat-rate workspace. Honest skip: if one subscription should cover more than ChatGPT, compare the total against a multi-model workspace first.
