Locking yourself into a $2,400 per year contract for a chatbot makes little financial sense for freelancers or students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GlobalGPT ($5.80)<\/strong> is the logical winner. It gives you the best of both worlds: the raw power of <strong>GPT-5.2 Pro<\/strong> and access to <strong>Sora 2<\/strong> (via the Pro tier) without the massive price tag.
