Which plan to pickFree is enough to find out if the quality suits you. Plus is the one to buy if you make images most days, because the limits stop getting in the way and you get the whole assistant too. Pro is only for people living in ChatGPT all day.Use Free for social posts and quick checks. If you need the cleaned photo for print, a listing or a website hero, Pro is cheap enough to pay for a month when you need it.An individual should take Professional: the free redo is worth the extra $10 over Basic. Companies should use the Team plan, where credits never expire and the per-person price drops as you buy more.
