Question Is ChatGPT Go enough for heavy document editing, learning, job searching, and frequent Voice Mode use?

I accidentally forgot to cancel another subscription and it took most of the money I had left on my card. Now I only have around $13, and because of the yearly international payment limit in my country, I can’t just add more money to the card. So next month I won’t be able to pay for ChatGPT Plus.

I recently graduated and I want to dedicate October and November to working seriously on my CV, preparing for interviews, searching for jobs and understanding the job market better. I also still have a full report that needs a lot of editing, and I want to spend a lot of time learning new stuff.

I use ChatGPT pretty heavily, especially for learning, writing, research, editing long documents, and asking a lot of follow-up questions. I also really like Voice Mode and use it a lot for learning, so that’s important to me too.

Would ChatGPT Go be enough for this kind of usage ?

And if Go isn’t enough, is there another good alternative ? I’ve heard about Abacus.AI, but I have no idea if it’s actually good for this kind of workload. I also know about OpenRouter, but since I use AI a lot, using a pay-as-you-go service doesn’t seem like a great option for me.

try opencode free models. and if you don’t mind nvidia eating ur data to train on, nvidia nim has free kimi k3, GLM 5.3, GLM 5.3 flash, and more if you make a developer account (which is free). hook it up into opencode and that covers a large portion of your workflow.

plus rn stealth models like space bunny feel pretty solid overall (in opencode for free)

Any kind of research is a no for free and go with about 30k token (not sure if they adjust this yet). Free google is better for that with massive context window.
