ChatGPT plus has been pretty valuable for me. $20/month- was an indispensable tour guide in Japan. Advanced voice mode I've used quite frequently for translating between multiple languages at work. Now playing with deep research. Probably use daily at work to help jog my memory.

Plus I signed up for US Bank triple cash business card that gives me $100 off software subscriptions (churning the $750 signup bonus and 1yr 0% APR) and I can write the subscription off of my taxes.

Although I haven't used the free version in a while so hard for me to speculate on the value vs free plan... grok notably seems to be able to do almost as good and comes with a twitter blue badge lol.
