GPT-5 included

The ChatGPT alternative that keeps GPT-5

Most ChatGPT alternatives make you give up OpenAI's models. avots.ai does not: you get GPT-5 and GPT-5.5 Pro, plus everything ChatGPT will never offer, Claude Opus 5, Gemini 3, DeepSeek, Veo video and Nano Banana images. One app, one balance, pay per use instead of a monthly fee.

Why switch

What you gain over ChatGPT Plus

People leave ChatGPT for three reasons: the fixed fee, the single vendor, and the limits. Here is how an aggregator solves each.

No monthly fee

Pay per message instead of a flat subscription. If you chat twice a week, you keep the difference.

Every lab, not one

Claude for code and writing, Gemini for images and screenshots, DeepSeek for value, GPT-5 for everything else. Switch mid-conversation.

Real media generation

Veo 3.1, Sora 2 and Kling for video, Nano Banana and FLUX for images, ElevenLabs for music. ChatGPT stops at pictures.

Second opinions

Run the same prompt through GPT-5 and Claude side by side and keep the better answer. One balance makes that a habit.

Agent auto-routing

Agent Avots reads the request and picks the right model for you. You never have to learn model names.

Honest note: if you use GPT-5 heavily for hours every day, a flat subscription can win on price. For everyone else, pay per use is cheaper and strictly more capable.

FAQ

ChatGPT alternative questions

What is the best alternative to ChatGPT?
It depends on why you are leaving. If you want better writing or code, try Claude Opus. If you want multimodal, Gemini 3. If you want everything including GPT-5 itself without a subscription, an aggregator like avots.ai gives you all of them in one app with one balance.
Is avots.ai cheaper than ChatGPT Plus?
For most people, yes. ChatGPT Plus is a fixed monthly fee whether you use it or not. avots.ai is pay per use: 1,000 tokens cost 0.99 EUR, and a chat reply costs a handful of tokens. Casual and medium users usually spend far less than a subscription.
Do I lose GPT-5 if I switch from ChatGPT?
No. avots.ai includes GPT-5 and GPT-5.5 Pro, the same OpenAI models, next to Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek. You switch apps, not models.
Can the alternative also make images and video?
Yes, that is the point of an aggregator. avots.ai includes GPT-5 Image, Nano Banana and FLUX for images, Veo 3.1, Sora 2 and Kling for video, and ElevenLabs for music and voice, all on the same balance as chat.
Is there a free way to try it?
Signing up is free and takes a minute. From there it is pay per use, so trying a model costs cents, not a monthly commitment. There is no lock-in and no auto-renewing plan required.
