ChatGPT vs Grok

AMO PIMI They also argued about these things on another page.

ChatGPT and Grok are both Chatbots tools. Pricing, free tiers and language support compared below.

OpenAI

Has a free plan

NT$0/month, open to everyone. The official site lists the free-tier limits one by one: limited access to GPT-5.5 Instant, limited messages and uploads, limited and slower image generation, limited deep research, limited memory and context, limited Codex, limited ChatGPT Work desktop app. The only place the official site gives concrete numbers is the plan comparison table: free-tier GPT Instant total context window 27K (Go/Plus 54K, Pro 128K); free-tier single-input cap about 12 pages of text (Go/Plus about 40 pages, Pro about 250 pages); the context window for reasoning models is marked depends on the situation for the free tier (Go/Plus 256K, Pro 400K). Response time on the free tier is marked as limited by system resources and service conditions; only paid plans are fast. Chat history is unlimited on the free tier. Whether content is used for model training can be opted out of. The official site has never published a concrete messages-per-day figure, and this site does not fill in an estimate.

xAI

Has a free plan

The official site publishes no concrete usage figures at all for the free tier, and this site does not fill in an estimate. Verification trail (exhausted): grok.com/pricing returns HTTP 200 but the whole page is rendered by JavaScript, so the static HTML contains no plan names or price text, only Stripe price IDs; opening it in a real browser hits a Cloudflare human-verification wall, which we do not bypass; x.ai/grok returned 403 three times in a row (blocked, not 404). What can be confirmed: free use does exist and is US$0, because in the in-app purchase list on the official Apple App Store listing every paid item belongs to the SuperGrok range, so basic chat requires no payment. Third-party felloai.com states plainly that xAI has never published free-tier numbers anywhere, and says the free tier only gets the lighter Grok 4 Mini, includes basic real-time web and X search, has limited voice mode, and that image and video generation were removed from the free tier on 2026-03-19. The widely circulated figure of about 10 messages every 2 hours has no official backing and is not used here. (Verified 2026-08-09)
