Hi. I’ve been using ChatGPT Plus daily for a while now. Overall I like it, but I’m wondering if I’m missing out on other options which might be better to pay for. I mostly use AI for daily practical stuff, researching, summing up documents or threads, getting second opinions, cleaning up my writing etc. I recently started playing with image generator for content creations and ideas. Here is how ChatGPT summed up my usage: Technical troubleshooting (yaml, wordpress, home servers, docker, networking, smart home, cameras, Home Assistant) DIY / home projects (planning before doing anything expensive) Business support (billing, coding logic, emails, contracts) Writing help (emails, explanations, cleaning) Light creative/marketing work (social posts, promos, restructuring content) Translating/simplifying content (technical → plain language) Decision-making and sanity checks (“does this make sense?”, “what am I missing?”) What matters most to me is good reasoning, being able to handle long context without losing track, and explanations that are clear but not dumbed down. What I don’t like about ChatGPT is that is doesn’t handle long conversations i.e. troubleshooting, but I use projects as a workaround where I just start a new chat within a project when I am noticing that gpt is glitching. It is often overconfident while being wrong so I often have to sanity-check. I also need to keep correcting it’s responses when it starts using too many emojis and bullet points. The image generator seems limited as well, it often trips when I want it to correct something, or corrects areas outside of my selection. I’ve seen people recommend Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, and all-in-one platforms like Poe, Abacus, or OpenRouter.
- Should I stay with ChatGPT or switch to other AI?
- Is an AIO platform worth it? It would be same price or even cheaper than ChatGPT Plus, but I can’t find what would I miss out on with switching to these. submitted by /u/magnumpl
