Really just curious what folks out there deem valuable enough to give money for monthly or annually. As a software engineer I have quite a few that keep me productive and I'll list a few:

  • ChatGPT
  • Perplexity
  • Obsidian Sync
  • YouTube Premium

How do I use the API? I'd be willing to pay for ChatGPT pro if it was cheaper, especially if it was pay per use instead of pay per month

I use better chatgpt its a git repo that Github will host for free for you then google opening api and get urself an api key. Its pay per use u get gpt3.5 as well as gpt4. I still use gpt3.5turbo for most things this cos its way cheaper than 4.

Thanks, I'll look into that! I also recently found an easy way to run local LLMs on my computer, so I can mix and match.
