I spent $200/mo on ChatGPT Pro so you don’t have to. It wasn’t worth it
Mar 12, 2025
OpenAI's top-tier subscription offers lots of goodies, but not enough value to justify the insane cost.
At a glance
Expert's Rating
Pros
Exclusive access to the Operator agent
Full access to GPT-4o and all reasoning models
Full access to o1 pro mode
Increased rate limits for Deep Research, Sora, Advanced Voice, and other features
Cons
Far cheaper to subscribe individually to alternative AI tools à la carte
Dall-E (image generation) and Sora (video generation) just aren’t that good
Operator’s usefulness is still limited and impractical
Our Verdict
While ChatGPT Pro’s exclusive Operator agent is novel and fun to play with, it doesn’t provide enough practical value yet. The best part of ChatGPT Pro is the boost to rate limits, especially for Deep Research. If you aren’t making heavy use of Deep Research, then ChatGPT Plus offers better bang for your buck. Or you might be better off cobbling together a bunch of other premium AI services to suit your specific needs.

Best Pricing Today
OpenAI’s ChatGPT Pro — the highest tier of access for individuals — is far from cheap. It costs $200 per month and, unlike most competitors, OpenAI doesn’t offer any discounts for an annual subscription. The company also avoids limited-time sales.
