A ChatGPT Alternative With No Subscription: GPT and Claude in One Place

Most AI services ask for a monthly commitment before you know how much you will actually use them. Twenty dollars for one chatbot, twenty for another, more for an image tool. If you use AI a few times a day — not eight hours straight — that math rarely works in your favor.

Gluboko takes a different approach. It is a pay-per-use AI chat: you top up one wallet in rubles and get GPT and Claude in one place, plus image generation and a presentation maker. No subscription, no auto-renewal. And it works from Russia in a regular browser, without a VPN.

The problem with AI subscriptions

A subscription makes sense if you use a tool constantly. But most everyday AI tasks are small and occasional: write a polite email to a client, summarize a long document into a short brief, translate a paragraph, sketch a plan for a trip, draft a post for social media.

If that describes your week, separate subscriptions mean paying full price for tools that sit idle most of the time. And if you want both GPT and Claude — because they are genuinely different and each is better at certain things — the cost doubles.

How the pay-as-you-go wallet works

The model is simple. You top up a ruble balance — starting from 50 ₽, by СБП or bank card. Then every question you ask costs exactly what it costs, and nothing more.

A simple question to one of the inexpensive models costs kopecks — well under one ruble. A complex question to the smartest models costs a few rubles. There is no monthly fee quietly draining your account: if you take a two-week break, your balance simply waits for you.

Here is what a typical day might look like. In the morning, you translate a supplier's email — that is kopecks on a fast model. At lunch, you ask a balanced model to outline a weekend itinerary for a trip to Kazan. In the evening, you hand a dense report to the smartest model and ask for a proper analysis — a few rubles. The total for the day is small change, not a fixed monthly bill.

GPT and Claude in one place

Instead of choosing between providers, you choose the right model for the task at hand — all inside one chat:

Claude Opus 5 — the smartest of the lineup. Best for deep analysis, complex documents, and careful long-form writing.
Claude Sonnet 4.6 — the balanced choice for everyday work: emails, summaries, editing.
Claude Haiku 4.5 — fast and cheap, good for quick questions.
GPT-5.6 Sol — OpenAI's flagship model.
GPT-5.6 Terra — strong, at a lower cost than the flagship.
GPT-5.5 Pro — deep reasoning for genuinely hard problems; the expensive option you reach for when it matters.
GPT-5 mini and GPT-5.4 nano — the cheapest models, ideal for simple, high-volume tasks.

Having both families side by side is more useful than it sounds. You can draft a text with one model and ask another for a second opinion, or route routine work to a cheap model and save the smart ones for questions that deserve them. With a subscription, you would never see how differently GPT and Claude handle the same prompt — here it is one click.

It works without a VPN

Gluboko works from Russia in a regular browser — no VPN, no foreign card, no workarounds to configure. The interface is in Russian, and payments are in rubles through familiar methods. You open the site, ask a question, and it answers. That is the entire setup process.

More than a chat

The wallet covers more than text conversations.

Image studio. Generate images with GPT Image 1.5, GPT Image Mini, Nano Banana 2, Flux 2 Pro for photorealistic shots, Ideogram 3.0 when you need readable text on the image, and Recraft V4 for design assets like icons and illustrations.

Banner maker. Creatives for social media without opening a design app.

Presentation maker. Describe what you need and export a finished deck as a .pptx file you can edit in PowerPoint.

Files and voice. Attach images, PDF, TXT, CSV, and DOCX files — for example, upload a contract and ask what the tricky clauses mean. Dictate questions with voice input instead of typing.

Web search. When a question needs fresh information, the chat can search the web and answer with links to its sources.

Try it before you spend anything

You do not have to take any of this on faith. As a guest, you can ask a few questions completely free — without even registering.

If you decide to stay, signing up comes with a welcome bonus on your balance. Your first top-up gets an extra 10% added on top. And there is a referral program: share your personal link, your friend gets a bonus at signup, and 15% of every top-up they make is credited to your balance.

FAQ

Is it really subscription-free? Yes. There is nothing to cancel because there is nothing recurring. You top up a balance when you choose to, and money leaves it only when you ask a question or generate an image. An unused balance simply stays there.

How much does one question cost? It depends on the model. Simple questions on the cheaper models cost kopecks — well under a ruble. Questions to the smartest models, like Claude Opus 5 or GPT-5.5 Pro, cost a few rubles. You control the spend by choosing the model.

Do I need a VPN or a foreign bank card? No. Gluboko works from Russia in a regular browser without a VPN, and you pay in rubles by СБП or bank card, with top-ups starting from 50 ₽.
