No, it's free https://chatgpt.com/
As your link is for custom enterprise solutions, it's worth noting that Google has the same shit which also costs money https://cloud.google.com/pricing/
It's "freemium", not free. There is a difference. You can't use ChatGPT 4 without paying as well as the API. Also, you are limited in the number of prompts you can make per hour before you are put on pause and asked to pay.
Search engines like Ecosia, DuckDuckGo, etc. don't ask you for money. Regardless how intensively you use it. (They might come with other drawbacks though like Google with privacy, environment, ethical principles, ...)
It;s more free than Google.
I've never been asked to pay for using one of the aforementioned search engines. I have been asked to pay for OpenAI products.
So I don't see how you come to that conclusion.

The ones where you just claim that despite it being not true or which ones do you mean?
Not true? Ahaha! Good job spreading misinformation!
Well... as I said. OpenAI asks for money, search engines usually don't. Ergo, OpenAI is not free. (But freemium.)
Despite claiming that's not the case, you lack the necessary proof and don't seem to care about countering my argument with something of substance.
Such a discussion will not be fruitful if you are unwilling to deliver.
It's free, what else do you want?
That you deliver reasons for why you claim I'm wrong.
It's freemium, not free. As I said before, OpenAI limits the number of prompts you can make per hour in case you don't want to pay. Also, using the API or ChatGPT 4 costs money. Users of search engines are usually not asked for money.
What does Google's cloud service have to do with what we're discussing (Google indexing content vs. ~~SO~~ OpenAI doing it)? They're not even similar services.
Edit: SO -> OpenAI
The fuck are you talking about?
