You may already be using ChatGPT, the phenomenally powerful and useful AI tool, but the free version is based on GPT-3.5. GPT-4 is said to be ten times more advanced, with enhanced creativity, reliability, up-to-date information, and an ability to interpret more nuanced instructions, so it’s understandable why users would like to explore and experience GPT-4, but not everyone is able to pay the $20 monthly fee to access GPT-4 through OpenAI. Fortunately there are some other options out there, giving you access to use GPT-4 for free.
What we’ll focus on here is using GPT-4 by means of the GPT chatbot through Bing AI and Edge browser, which makes it available to free to anyone and everyone. After a certain number of queries and questions, you’ll need to sign-in with a Microsoft account (which is also free, and you already have one if you made an @outlook, @msn, or @hotmail email address).
How to Use GPT-4 for Free with Bing
- Open your web browser of choice on whatever device you’d like to access GPT-4 from
- Go to https://www.bing.com/search and click on “Chat”
- Submit your query or question, you’ll be using GPT-4 with Bing
You’re now using GPT-4, behind the Bing AI chatbot.

You can also use GPT-4 from the the official ChatGPT app for iPhone, which is a free app to download and use GPT-3.5, but again you will have to pay for accessing GPT-4 through a roughly $20/monthly fee from OpenAI.
Other options used to be available, like the Poe app for iPhone and iPad, but most of those have turned into paid apps and services as well. If you’re going to be paying for GPT-4 access, it might as well be through ChatGPT and OpenAI though, right?
