Honestly, O3 Pro feels pretty overpriced to me. GPT even mentioned that the pricing structure between Plus and Pro is confusing. It seems like different users will find it either ridiculously overpriced or maybe underpriced, depending on their needs. I think they should consider adding more tiers so users have options.
I agree that the pricing could use some work. Having more tiers would definitely help people find a plan that fits their usage better.
Honestly, I can't see why anyone would pay $200 when there are other good options like Gemini and Claude around. It might work out if you're at a university and can include it in research costs, but for personal use, it seems unnecessary.
What would make you consider it then? There's got to be a use case I'm missing.
Exactly, what makes it worth that much?
If you run a business, the O3 Pro is definitely worth it! It speeds up processes and is smarter than any admin I've had. It's tough to put a price on that efficiency, especially for freelancers and consultants.
But isn't it a bit extreme at $200? Wouldn't something cheaper suffice?
Definitely! Plus, most people from rich universities can justify it as research costs.
O3 combined with 4.5 is brilliant for deep discussions, especially in areas like the humanities and social sciences. The ability to switch models in one conversation without starting a new chat is fantastic! For me, the unlimited access in Pro makes it an incredible tool for research and detailed analysis. It might be pricey, but the performance is hard to beat when working on complex topics.
Thanks for your insights! Does the cost feel justified with the productivity boost you get from it?
Absolutely agree! But does it really match up to other options like DeepSeek?
I didn't think I would go for a $200 subscription, but after using O3 on the Plus plan, I can see its value. It processes data and finds answers much quicker than other options like Deep Research.
I hear you! I work in finance too and I find O3 beneficial for due diligence and investment screening.
But if you're looking for more affordable alternatives, have you considered using free tools while keeping an eye on your budget?
Based on what do you think it's overpriced?
