Yet, if you want to go cheaper, you totally can by paying for the API access. Gpt4 is accessible there and you get to use your own app. $20 will last you way longer then a month if you're not a heavy user.

True. Though I myself still use ChatGPT a lot more as I can quickly reach the $20 threshold via the API

It really depends on usage. If you need to have long conversations, or are sending huge texts, the all-you-can-eat for $20 plan will almost certainly be cheaper than API access.

If you're doing lots of smaller one shot stuff without a lot of back and forth, the API will be cheaper.
