I haven't used ChatGPT in a few weeks now. I still maintain subscriptions to both ChatGPT and Claude, but I'm very close to dropping ChatGPT entirely. The only useful thing it provides over Claude is a decent mobile voice mode and web search.
If you don't want to necessarily have to pick between one or the other, there are services like this one that let you basically access all the major LLMs and only pay per use: https://nano-gpt.com/
I've used TypingMind and it's pretty great, I like the idea of just plugging in a couple API keys and paying a fraction, but I really wish there was some overlap.
If a random query via the API costs a fifth of a cent why can't I can't 10 free API calls w/ my $20/mo premium subscription?
I'm in the same boat — I maintain subscriptions to both.
The main thing I like OpenAI for is that when I'm on a long drive, I like to have conversations with OpenAI's voice mode.
If Claude had a voice mode, I could see dropping OpenAI entirely, but for now it feels like the subscriptions to both is a near-negligible cost relative to the benefits I get from staying near the front of the AI wave.
