Most people use just 5% of ChatGPT.
Here’s how to unlock the other 95%.
Let’s be real — ChatGPT isn’t “just a chatbot” anymore.
It’s a full-blown AI operating system.
Over the past 2.5 years, I’ve tested every feature across every plan.
Here’s your complete roadmap to getting 10x more out of it 👇
🚀 ChatGPT Plans & What You Get
• Free ($0) – GPT-4.1 mini + basic tools
• Plus ($20) – Voice mode, GPT builder, higher limits
• Pro ($200) – Full power: unlimited models, agents, automations
Most users stop at Plus.
But I pay $200/month — here’s why:
🧠 Model Power Guide (Pro plan)
• GPT-4o – My go-to daily engine (multimodal + unlimited)
• GPT-4.5 – For emotional tone + creative writing (20/week)
• o4-mini – Lightning-fast dev/debug (300/day)
• o4-mini-high – Math + technical writing (100/day)

💡 Match the model to the mission.
📈 My Workflow Formula:

Pull fresh data using o3
Refine + polish with GPT-4.5
