ChatGPT is still free, but the original GPT-5 is no longer the model provided to free users. OpenAI retired GPT-5 Instant and GPT-5 Thinking from ChatGPT on February 13, 2026. Free accounts now receive limited access to GPT-5.5 Instant, while GPT-5.6 Sol reasoning options are reserved for eligible paid plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Free tier still includes web search, file and image uploads, data analysis, image creation, and access to GPTs. The main chat allowance and some tool allowances reset separately, and OpenAI says the exact limits can change with system conditions and individual usage. The practical differences between no-cost access and a subscription are covered in this ChatGPT Plus free-trial guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The practical answer is therefore more precise than a simple yes: ChatGPT can be used without paying, but searching for \u201cfree GPT-5\u201d now leads to a different model lineup and a different set of limits than it did in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For access to newer GPT-5.x options in one workspace, GlobalGPT lists GPT-5.6 Sol<\/a> alongside GPT-5.5 and other current models. Its annual billing page displayed plans from $5.80 per month on July 23, 2026; prices and promotions can change, so the live pricing page should be checked before subscribing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
