ChatGPT changed everything when it launched. But at $20/month for ChatGPT Plus, many people are looking for alternatives that deliver the same (or better) capabilities at a lower price.
Here's the thing: ChatGPT Plus only gives you access to OpenAI's models. What if you could access GPT, Claude, Gemini, AND Grok — all for less than half the price?
Why Look for a ChatGPT Alternative?
ChatGPT is great, but it has limitations:
- $20/month is expensive — That's $240/year for access to one company's AI
- Only OpenAI models — You can't use Claude, Gemini, or other models
- No model switching — Stuck with whatever OpenAI decides to offer
- Web-focused — The desktop app is basically a wrapped browser
Different AI models excel at different tasks. Claude is often better for writing and analysis. Gemini excels at multimodal tasks. Grok has real-time information. Why limit yourself to just one?
Go Ask Chat: All AI Models, One Price
Go Ask Chat gives you access to 28+ AI models including:
- GPT-5.2 — OpenAI's latest and most capable model
- Claude Opus 4.5 — Anthropic's flagship for nuanced writing
- Gemini 3 Pro — Google's multimodal powerhouse
- Grok-4.1 — xAI's real-time informed model
- DeepSeek — Excellent for coding tasks
- And 20+ more — Fast models, specialized models, budget models
All of this for $8/month. That's 60% less than ChatGPT Plus.
Price Comparison
Monthly Cost Breakdown
ChatGPT Plus: $20/month — GPT models only
Claude Pro: $20/month — Claude models only
Gemini Advanced: $20/month — Gemini models only
Go Ask Chat Pro: $8/month — ALL of the above + more
If you wanted access to GPT, Claude, AND Gemini separately, you'd pay $60/month. Go Ask Chat gives you all three (plus Grok and others) for $8.
What You Get with Go Ask Chat
3,000 Messages Per Month
The Pro plan includes 3,000 messages monthly. That's roughly 100 messages per day — enough for most users. Heavy users can add more as needed.
Switch Models Mid-Conversation
Start a conversation with GPT, then switch to Claude for a second opinion — without losing context. No other app makes this as seamless.
Voice Chat with Any Model
Talk to any AI model using voice. ChatGPT's voice feature only works with GPT. Go Ask Chat lets you voice chat with Claude, Gemini, or any model you choose.
Native Apps for Every Platform
Go Ask Chat runs natively on:
- macOS — With exclusive overlay hotkey (summon AI from any app)
- iOS — Full-featured iPhone and iPad app
- Android — Native Android experience
- Web — Works in any browser
Infinite Memory
Go Ask Chat automatically indexes your conversation history. When you ask a question, the AI can reference relevant past conversations for more personalized answers. ChatGPT doesn't do this.
Cross-Platform Sync
Start a conversation on your iPhone, continue it on your Mac. Everything syncs instantly across all your devices.
Free Tier Available
Not ready to pay? Go Ask Chat has a free tier with 20 messages per day. Test it out, see which models you like, then upgrade if you want more.
