Clicked to sign in as an individual then it asked for the name of my Organisation so having clicked as an individual I thought "OK, it's looking for marketing data or an account ID" so I entered a name. Now I can't do anything until I give it CC details and commit to at least one paid month! No matter how I try to delete my 'organisation' I am met with the payment screen. Is this a scam or a con? I tried to re-register myself as an individual but it tells me I already exist. I could use different registration details but that is against my registration format that allows me to easily remember login details. I will be staying with ChatGPT and Gemini until Abacus realise customers can make registration errors, especially if registration requirements/options are not made clear. Why take someone from an individual (free) membership and 'trick' them into a paid membership with no exit? They are not the sort of people I would trust to do business with!
I got to the stage you mentioned, did not enter a companys name in, skipped the step, it still wanted my CC details. (I tried to set up through gmail)
Unless I'm missing something, there's no free option, it wants $10 for access a month, that's it.
When I highlighted Abacus a while ago, my view was, if I was gonna pay for any A.I. LLM services, it seems to be worth doing through Abacus compared to the $20 for Chat GPT on its own. As GPT continues to be free to access, (and DeepSeek) I'll continue with my journey up until the point I have to pay, that way, the money saved, gets added to my bankroll...etc
