Free vs Paid AI for Realtors: Is $20/Month Worth It?

I ran the same 5 realtor tasks — listing description, open-house follow-up email, CMA client paragraph, 7-day Instagram plan, and a rate-objection talk track — on ChatGPT Free ($0) and ChatGPT Plus ($20/mo), same day (October 16, 2026), fresh chat and one attempt per task per tier, and scored every output on the same 25-point rubric (fact fidelity, compliance, polish, readability, speed). The free tier won, 119 to 114 — and the paid tier's listing invented two facts, then flagged them itself. Chapters: 0:00 — Free beat Plus: the result 0:41 — The test setup and the /25 rubric 2:05 — Task 1: Listing description (Free 24, Plus 22) 3:06 — Task 2: Follow-up email (24–24) 3:36 — Task 3: CMA paragraph (24–24) 4:19 — Task 4: 7-day Instagram plan (Free 23, Plus 21) 4:59 — Task 5: Rate-objection talk track (Free 24, Plus 23) 5:36 — The ensuite moment: Plus flags its own inventions 6:38 — The full board + is Plus worth $20/mo? 7:57 — Scoreboard, disclosures THE SCORES (out of 25 per task): Listing description: Free 24 · Plus 22 — Plus stated an "ensuite bathroom" and an "attached" garage that were never in the prompt (fact fidelity 3/5), then flagged both itself in an MLS accuracy note. Free invented nothing. Follow-up email: Free 24 · Plus 24 — both clean and send-ready. Plus ~8s, Free ~12s (Plus's only speed win). CMA paragraph: Free 24 · Plus 24 — every comp number exact on both tiers. 7-day Instagram plan: Free 23 · Plus 21 — plans structurally near-identical; Plus took ~100s (slowest run of the day) vs Free ~70s. Talk track: Free 24 · Plus 23 — Free ~12s vs Plus ~35s; neither made rate guarantees. TOTALS: FREE 119/125 · PLUS 114/125. Free was faster or equal on 4 of 5 tasks. Tier labels, exactly as the interfaces showed them: Plus ran signed in (model selector read "Medium"); Free ran as a logged-out guest (no model label shown). Free hit no usage limits; sponsored ads appeared on 2 of the 5 free tasks. Caveats: single day, one attempt per task, approximate timings, everyday writing tasks only. The verdict answers the $20 question for these tasks; any Plus value from features or limits outside them is an open question, not a claim. Fair-housing screen: both tiers' listing descriptions and follow-up emails passed — no steering language, no flagged descriptors.
