ChatGPT: Free · Go $8 · Plus $20 · Pro from $100/mo — Us: Free to start · from $10/mo billed annually
Looking for a ChatGPT alternative
ChatGPT writes the code. Then it is your problem.
ChatGPT is $20 a month for Plus, from $100 for Pro, with usage metered in five-hour windows — and what it builds lives inside ChatGPT. The gap between an answer in a chat and a working thing you own, online at your own domain, is the whole job, and it is the part this exists to do.

The ChatGPT column is quoted from their own published pages as read on 2026-08-31, not characterised. Where their page does not answer a question the cell says so — on a table whose headline is that nobody publishes the price, that is the answer. Check every cell against their site; that is the point of writing it this way.
Where they are better
For questions, ChatGPT is the better tool.
Explaining, drafting, thinking out loud, research — a general assistant does all of it well, and this does not try to be one. The line is simple: if the answer IS the product, use ChatGPT. If the answer is supposed to become a website, an app, or anything that has to exist and keep existing after the chat ends, that is what this is for.
The question that decides it
A dollar is a unit you already understand.
Credits are a currency with no published exchange rate. Here the unit is a dollar: what the model provider charged us plus 20–30% — 30% on the trial, Amelia’s Chat AI and Pro, 28% on Pro Plus, 22% on Pro Max — with that rate under the composer before you send and what the answer cost printed on the answer. Free to start with no card, building plans from $10 a month billed annually, and a spending limit on from day one.
And if you want to know who is making these claims: a software company that has shipped for other businesses since 2005.

Questions
Asked, answered
What is the difference between ChatGPT and Amelia's Agent?
ChatGPT answers you in a chat window; what you do with the code is up to you. Amelia's Agent runs the code on a real machine, keeps the project in a git repository you own, includes a database, and publishes the result online in one click.
Can ChatGPT build and host a website?
On Plus and Pro plans ChatGPT has a Sites feature that hosts what it builds inside ChatGPT. Amelia's Agent publishes to the open web — your own domain, a certificate, and the code in a git repository you can take anywhere.
Is there a ChatGPT alternative that shows what each request costs?
Amelia's Agent quotes the cost before a turn runs and prints what it actually cost afterwards — the model provider's charge plus a published 20–30%. A flat subscription hides the number; this prints it.
