Can’t I just use ChatGPT?
Yes, you could. The benefit of TeacherGPT over something like ChatGPT is that we have trained the underlying ChatGPT model specifically on the New Zealand curriculum and education system.
You could do this yourself, but it would take time, and require you to re-train ChatGPT each and every time you interacted with it.
TeacherGPT also gives you access to the latest
ChatGPT model, which would cost you upwards of $30 NZD per month if you wanted to do this directly through
OpenAI (ChatGPT) itself.
We've also built specialized tools like our Resource Generator which can help you create resources like lesson plans, worksheets, and more. Something that ChatGPT simple does not have.
Why does TeacherGPT cost $8 per month?
This covers our overhead costs of using the latest version of GPT-4o, as well as our web hosting.
Every time you send a message to TeacherGPT we are charged a small fee by
OpenAI — we’ve done our best to find a reasonable monthly price that works well for you, and us.
Why is there a 500 messages per month limit?
This is a limit we put in place to protect us from incurring huge, unpayable OpenAI fees. The 500 message limit we have currently set is generous: So generous in-fact, that no one has ever actually hit that limit. And the hope is that you never do.
When and how will I be charged for TeacherGPT?
If you decide to subscribe to TeacherGPT you will be billed $8 instantly, and you will then have have full access immediately. You will be billed again on the same date the following calendar month. For example, if you subscribe to TeacherGPT on Feburary 5th, you will be billed again on March 5th.
