- $20 per month for ChatGPT (text, images, photos)
- $25 for OpenAI API (text, audio)
- $200 for Claude (coding)
- $5 for Replicate (images)
- $30 for Grok (video)
If you are just starting out, don't rush to pay. Try ChatGPT and Claude. Once you encounter a limit message and work becomes impossible, subscribe for $20. If you hit that limit and token renewal is still far away, switch to the $100 subscription. It goes up to $200, which is hard to exhaust, but I managed to do it once.
If you are not a programmer, ChatGPT is quite enough for analysis, writing texts, and creating images. For coding, it's better to use Claude. If I had to choose between them, I would stick with Claude.
