You can use ChatGPT via chat.openai.com for free, but your rate might be limited and there are times with heavily load.

You can pay $20 per month for ChatGPT+ to use chat.openai.com with no restrictions (and access to GPT-4).

You can also pay as you go per token, if you either use the OpenAI playground or if you use your API token and put it in one of the front ends listed in this article. Gives you more customization options than chat.openai.com

The third party UIs are similar to chat.openai.com with more features such as search etc. and more comfortable to use than the OpenAI playground, but less restrictive that chat.openai.com

Also note if you pay by token for GPT3.5 it is (in my experience at least) a lot cheaper than the subscription ($0.64/day but also when you not use it) vs. ~0.20€/day but only if I use it. I use pay as you go and it comes around as a few $ per month versus the flat $20.
