If ChatGPT will provided more free-tier for GPT4, it's pretty sure that the numbers will go up.
At least from a software engineer point of view, the code provided by GPT3.5 is no match against GPT4

Even creating local chat vector embeddings data stores on my laptop for a lot of PDFs in my personal research library and PDFs for the books I have written, I spend an incredibly small amount of money each month on the APIs - probably average $4/month because of the free monthly bonus API calls.
I used to think that Google Colab Pro for $10/month was my best deal for getting stuff done, but now that award goes to OpenAI. Using the Hugging Face APIs is similarly inexpensive and convenient. (Although I usually self host Hugging Face LLMs.) This tech is incredibly inexpensive to use on personal projects.
