The most advanced version of the chatbot, ChatGPT-4, offers a subscription service. As OpenAI announced in February 2023, ChatGPT Plus is charged at a monthly premium of $20. There are ways to access the service for free (but they’re rather limited). Armed with this information, certain shady apps on these services are trying to get their hands on that subscription cash (and potentially much more of it) under false pretenses.
Cybersecurity company Sophos regularly publishes X-Ops content, from its Advanced Threat Response Joint Task Force. In a special X-Ops report in May 2023, the firm warned of egregious fleeceware flooding these platforms. One example used was Chat GBT, an app that Google has since deleted from Google Play. It did not seem to use ChatGPT technology, allowed only three “trial” uses before trying to foist subscription models on users, and demanded five-star reviews.
Not all such apps are scams, of course. OpenAI offers a ChatGPT API to app creators, allowing for the implementation of the chatbot technology. The makers of the apps are then charged for tokens: 750 words, approximately, equals 1000 tokens, and the price for these tokens relates to the ChatGPT model being used. OpenAI states, for instance, that with the 32K context for ChatGPT-4, 1000 tokens costs $0.12 for completion and half that for a prompt. The gpt-3.5-turbo model, meanwhile, is priced at $0.0002 per 1000 tokens.
