$20 puts it way out of my price range. It's useful, but when I've been averaging around twenty queries a day and somewhat frequently get back hallucinated responses, it's not worth that price. I wish there was a pay-as-you-go or a lower tier offering.
- m00x 4y agoYou'll still have access to the general availability version.
- webstrand 4y agoI'd like to pay for my usage. It's just that price is too high for my own limited usage. Not getting kicked into the waiting room for an hour every 2 queries is worth something to me.
- cmeacham98 4y agoWhat price do you think would be "worth it"? With your existing usage, $20/month would be $0.03-$0.04 per query, which seems pretty reasonable?
- webstrand 4y agoTo be clear, I'm counting "every time I press submit" as a query. 3-4c to tell it "Your answer is clearly wrong because X, and Y" isn't very enticing. Around $10/mo would be far more palatable, I don't mind if my usage is capped. I simply do not get $20/mo worth of value back out of it at this point. That's basically the price of 1 book/mo, and I'd get more value out of that.
- jeremyjh 4y agoSo you are doing something like 400 queries a month and the aggregate value of all those responses is less than $20 to you? I've got to ask, why bother querying it at all?
- Beaver117 4y agoThats stupid, I use search engines much much more than 400 times a month and they are free.
- yucky 4y ago> and they are free The advertisers on Google would tell you otherwise. You are the product, ads are shown to you and you likely will click on one or more of them. Of course everybody says they don't , but the majority of people do.
- jeremyjh 4y agoStupid? If you had no access to a free search engine would you spend $20 a month on it? I sure would. It is also stupid to think that promoted results aren't a cost for you; if the search provider values it, there must be a cost.
- potatoman22 4y agoChatGPT still has a free tier. I don't think $240/year for faster responses + piloting new features is worth it for most people.

- speedgoose 4y agoYou aren’t the customer on classic search engines. If you don’t use an adblocker with these many searches, you are probably worth more than $20 a month of advertising revenues.

- Kiro 4y agoI use it way less than that and think $20 is a steal. What software do you think is worth $20 a month?
- DoesntMatter22 4y agoWhere do you live that you can't afford 20 a month? Even developers in India and the Phillipines can afford it and are using it
- pcthrowaway 4y agoPersonally, Canada. I could afford it, but I don't know if it will be worth the value it brings. My salary isn't U.S.-level high, and I almost never get responses that are incredibly insightful. I do an average of 1 or 2 queries a day maybe.
- DoesntMatter22 4y agoI find that it saves me at least 20 hours a month. I'd easily pay 500/mo for it.
