Summary As of April 23, 2025, ChatGPT’s Free tier has evolved from a basic GPT‑3.5 interface into a robust “omnimodal” assistant, offering unlimited access to GPT‑4o mini, limited use of full GPT‑4o and the high-speed o3‑mini reasoning model, real-time web search, and two image generations per day via the GPT‑4o image engine . ChatGPT Plus ($20 USD/month) builds on this foundation with extended messaging limits, a 32 K‑token context window, unlimited image generation powered by DALL·E 3, “expanded” persistent memory of past chats, advanced voice modes including video screensharing, deep research tools, and early access to GPT‑4.5 research previews OpenAI. Compared to top rivals—Google Gemini Advanced, Anthropic Claude 3 Opus, Microsoft Copilot, and Amazon Nova—ChatGPT’s seamless integration of text, image, voice, code, and custom GPTs makes it one of the most versatile AI platforms on the market.
