  "textContent": "Hi guys.\n\nLast month I experimented with 100$ chatgpt pro account next to my anthropic’s Claude code 200$.\n\nI was really surprised. It went very well.\n\nI wanted to cancel my anthropic’s subscription and to move full on to codex 200$.\n\nUpon check out, I saw I had to pay 310 NIS for pro 100$ (comes out 110$) OR 700 NIS for pro 200$ (comes out 250$).\n\nAt that time, conversion from usd to NIS was 2.8. now it’s 2.9.\n\nNeedless to say, Anthropic allows me to pay in usd so 200$ is 200$ + credit card conversion rates which comes out less than 1%. They are using the same stripe/link provider as you.\n\nYou don’t need a sharp eye to see that 700 is not 310 times 2.\n\nThe response I got from chatgpt support was: you are on mobile subscription. Cancel that, get a partial refund and then move to chatgpt web and sign up there.\n\nSo I did.\n\nAnd it turns out, chatgpt web wouldn’t allow me to pay in usd as well.\n\nI tried multiple times contacting support but all I got is “human” answering me auto response. Nobody looked.\n\nSo I’m surfacing that here. For 2 weeks already I’m trying to sign up to chatgpt or find someone to respond to me, but I want the 200$ deal, like anthropic, I don’t want to be forced to pay such massive conversion rates.\n\nPlease help me out. I decided to stick to anthropic for this month but I would love to try it out when the pricing would become logical - I don’t see why I have to pay 50$ for currency conversion fees when the direct competitor simply won’t have me go through this.\n\nHope that here I wouldn’t get “human” auto response and someone would actually look at it\n\nThanks\n\nNissim",
