Let's have an honest conversation about ChatGPT Plus. It's $25/month. For that, you get GPT-4, DALL-E, and browsing. That's it. Meanwhile, LazySusan gives you GPT-4 AND Claude AND Gemini AND Midjourney AND 50+ other tools. I'm not saying ChatGPT is bad—it's genuinely excellent. But in 2025, paying $25 for access to a single AI company's products feels... limiting. Here's the full breakdown.
What You Actually Get
ChatGPT Plus: GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-4o, DALL-E 3, web browsing, code interpreter, and custom GPTs. That's a solid package—I won't pretend otherwise. But LazySusan? You get all of that PLUS Claude 4 Opus (arguably better for writing), Gemini 2.0 (better for research), Midjourney v7 (leagues better than DALL-E for art), Veo 3.1 for video, Suno for music, and literally 50+ more tools. Same price range, wildly different value proposition.
When ChatGPT Falls Short
Here's what nobody at OpenAI wants you to realize: GPT-4 isn't the best at everything. Claude is better for long documents and nuanced writing. Gemini is better for real-time information and Google ecosystem integration. Midjourney absolutely destroys DALL-E for artistic image generation. Perplexity beats ChatGPT's browsing for research. If you're locked into ChatGPT Plus, you're using a B+ tool when A+ options exist—you just can't access them.
The Ecosystem Lock-In Problem
Once you've built workflows around ChatGPT, switching feels painful. Your custom GPTs, your conversation history, your muscle memory—it's all OpenAI. That's by design. But here's the thing: LazySusan doesn't ask you to abandon ChatGPT. You still get GPT-4 access. You just ALSO get everything else. It's not replacement—it's expansion. Keep your ChatGPT workflows AND add Claude for your long-form writing AND Midjourney for your visuals.
Trying New AI Without New Subscriptions
Every month there's a hot new AI tool. Runway drops a new version. Kling goes viral. ElevenLabs adds a feature. With ChatGPT Plus, trying these means another subscription, another account, another billing cycle to manage. With LazySusan, new tools just... appear. We add them. You use them. No friction, no new signups, no subscription creep. Your $25 ChatGPT subscription becomes a $200+ problem real fast if you actually want to use modern AI.
The Only Time ChatGPT Plus Wins
I'll be real: if you ONLY need ChatGPT features and nothing else—custom GPTs, the specific GPT-4 vibe, deep integration with OpenAI's ecosystem—then ChatGPT Plus is fine. Some people genuinely only need one tool. But ask yourself honestly: have you ever wished you could try Claude? Midjourney? Gemini? If the answer is yes even once, you're overpaying for artificial limitations.
Our Verdict
ChatGPT Plus is a good product sold at an outdated price for outdated limitations. In 2025, paying $25/month for access to one company's AI when you could have 50+ tools for similar pricing is just... not smart. LazySusan isn't about replacing ChatGPT—it's about not being artificially limited to it. Get GPT-4 AND Claude AND Gemini AND everything else. The math is obvious.
