Custom GPT or Just ChatGPT Plus?

When a shared subscription is enough, and when you need something scoped to your data.

ChatGPT Plus is a great personal tool. A Custom GPT — or a scoped assistant on your own stack — becomes worth it the moment more than one person needs the same behavior against the same knowledge. If you find yourself pasting the same prompt every day, that is the signal.
