Can I import my ChatGPT history?

Yes. One command (idapt chat import --from chatgpt) brings your full history over with branches, tool calls, and images; run it dry first, and the importer reports exactly what moved. Imported chats stay continuable on any model.

Is it more expensive than ChatGPT Plus?

Pro is $99/month for GPT plus Claude, Gemini, and 400+ more, usually cheaper than stacking a second provider's subscription on top of Plus. Heavy usage bills transparent credits at the prices shown in the app; your own keys and local models cost nothing.

What ChatGPT Plus is great at

It is the default for a reason: a polished app, fast GPT-5 responses, live voice, DALL·E, Deep Research, and Agent Mode, all under one $20 subscription. If GPT is the only model you ever want, it does that job cleanly.

What idapt is great at

Every flagship (GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek) sits in the same composer, so you switch model mid-conversation with the same files and context instead of keeping a second tab. Your Drive persists across chats, agents run on any model with real file and computer access, and image + video generation draw from every major provider, not just OpenAI's. When another lab ships the best model this month, it is one dropdown away, not another subscription.

Limits and privacy

Plus meters messages and tightens caps at peak times; on idapt there are no usage windows: platform usage bills transparent credits at the prices shown in the app, and your own keys and local models are uncapped. Your work is not used for training by default, and on your own keys or a local model it runs entirely on your terms. idapt is hosted, not end-to-end encrypted; for the strongest isolation, pair a machine you own with a local model.

The verdict

Stay with ChatGPT Plus if…

You only ever use GPT, want live voice and the most polished first-party app, and don't need files that persist across chats.

Choose idapt if…

You keep a second tab open for Claude or Gemini, want image + video from every provider, one bill instead of four, and no usage windows.
