ChatGPT Monthly subscription plan - ChatGPT Plus It has been launched for some time and the current fee is $20 USD/month.
Open AI said that users of ChatGPT Plus have faster response speeds and priority access to new features. For those who frequently use ChatGPT, upgrading to ChatGPT Plus is undoubtedly an option worth considering. However, for some users, whether to upgrade to ChatGPT Plus still requires careful consideration and evaluation. In this article, we will share our actual experience of using ChatGPT Plus to help you decide whether you need to upgrade.
What is ChatGPT Plus?
ChatGPT Plus is a monthly subscription upgrade to ChatGPT that provides faster response times, higher availability, and priority access to new features.
Differences between ChatGPT Plus and original ChatGPT
Compared with the original ChatGPT, ChatGPT Plus has the following three biggest differences:
Using GPT-4: GPT-4 is only available to users who subscribe to ChatGPT Plus. Non-subscribed users can only use GPT-3.5. However, please note that GPT-4 has a usage limit of 50 times every three hours. In other words, even ChatGPT Plus subscribers cannot use GPT-4 all the time.
Faster response: ChatGPT Plus answers questions faster.
Priority access to new features: ChatGPT Plus users have priority access to new features, such as Browsing, Plugins, and Code Interpreter.

Upgrade ChatGPT Plus and share practical experience
I have upgraded to ChatGPT Plus and have been using it for a while. The biggest difference I have noticed is the smooth login experience and fast response.
Smooth login experience
Before using ChatGPT Plus, I often encountered the situation where the login page could not be opened, but since upgrading to ChatGPT Plus, I have never encountered similar problems again. Every time I enter the ChatGPT webpage, I can start using it directly.
Quick response
The current answer model used by ChatGPT Plus is Turbo by default, which is currently only available to Plus subscribers. Based on my own actual experience, whether it is Chinese or English questions, ChatGPT Plus answers questions faster than the original version.
Issues that ChatGPT Plus currently cannot solve
Although ChatGPT Plus has many advantages, after using it for a while, I still have some problems that I feel have not been solved. If you think ChatGPT Plus can solve these problems, you may need to first understand that ChatGPT Plus still has these problems and limitations.
ChatGPT Plus Chinese answers are slow
ChatGPT Plus's preset response model - Turbo is more advanced than the original ChatGPT, and the response speed for English has been significantly improved, but the response speed for Chinese is still much slower than English. If you expect ChatGPT Plus's Chinese response speed to be as fast as English, you may be disappointed. (Note: It is still faster than the original ChatGPT, but still not that fast)
Response disconnected
When ChatGPT needs to answer a long question, it may be interrupted halfway through the answer, and the user needs to give the "continue" command to let ChatGPT continue answering. But even when using ChatGPT Plus, this situation also exists, and it is more common in Chinese.

Do I need to upgrade ChatGPT Plus?
If you are a heavy user of ChatGPT (you need to use it for several hours a day), or you use ChatGPT as a professional tool to improve your productivity at work or in life; and you also understand that ChatGPT Plus still has some problems and functional limitations, I suggest you upgrade to the subscription version. Upgrading ChatGPT Plus can definitely save you more time and improve your efficiency.
But if you only need to use ChatGPT occasionally, or just use it as a chat tool, then the original ChatGPT is enough to meet your needs.
