Honest, indicative comparison. ChatGPT's features, prices and policies may vary by plan, region and date; always check its official site. NOLO publishes the open-weights chat models it uses (gpt-oss-20b, gpt-oss-120b, DeepSeek V4 Flash) on GDPR-compliant providers, but not the company that hosts them.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Yes, for most everyday work: drafting, web-search research, document analysis, creating images and slides, voice and image understanding.
