Ep. 24: Is It Worth It to Pay for ChatGPT?

In this episode I break down whether it’s actually worth paying for ChatGPT or sticking with the free tier. I walk through the concrete differences between free and Plus, talk honestly about what matters and what doesn’t, and explain why “worth it” is always subjective. This episode is less about convincing you and more about giving you enough clarity to decide for yourself.
