Questions
Is ChatGPT free?

How much does ChatGPT cost?
ChatGPT publishes pricing on its own site, listing 4 plans. We deliberately do not republish prices we have not verified by hand, because automated price extraction proved unreliable enough to mislead. Use the link on this page for current figures.

Yes, ChatGPT publishes developer documentation.
How is ChatGPT scored here?
ChatGPT scores 4.2 out of 10. That comes from a desk review of public evidence, which is capped at 8.5 out of 10: public pricing, documentation, maintenance signals and how much we could actually verify. Affiliate relationships are excluded from scoring entirely. The full rubric is published on our methodology page.
