The ChatGPT Plus subscription gives users priority access to the chatbot during times of high traffic on the service, as well as enjoy the company's latest models, particularly GPT-4.

At the OpenAI Day conference in November 2023, developers unveiled a number of new features. Among them is ChatGPTs, which gives the ability to customise a chatbot for a specific scenario.

Also, ChatGPT Plus subscribers can upload and analyse text documents, images, as well as communicate with the service using voice.
