How I Replaced ChatGPT

i cancelled ChatGPT Plus in May. after 8 months of $20/month.

not because it was bad. because i was using it maybe 15 times a day. thats $0.44 per prompt.

what i use now

NanoGPT: $6-8/month. same GPT-4o, plus Claude, plus Gemini. pay per prompt.

Ollama: free. local AI for sensitive stuff.

Duck.ai: free. quick questions, no account.

the math

before: $20/month fixed
after: $7/month variable
annual savings: $156

the catch

NanoGPT UI is rough. no mobile app. support is slow.

but it works. every day. since april.

try NanoGPT — my review
