OpenAI — ChatGPT + custom GPTs made templated marketing copy free

history_edu The backstory

Jasper raised at a $1.5B valuation selling a friendly wrapper around GPT-3 for marketing copy. When ChatGPT shipped for free — and then custom GPTs let anyone build a brand-voice writer in minutes — the core value proposition (prompt templates + a nice UI) evaporated. Jasper pivoted hard toward enterprise "brand voice" and workflow orchestration, but the $49/mo starting price is a tough sell when the underlying capability is a free chat box.
