It’s “freemium”, not free. There is a difference. You can’t use ChatGPT 4 without paying as well as the API. Also, you are limited in the number of prompts you can make per hour before you are put on pause and asked to pay.
Search engines like Ecosia, DuckDuckGo, etc. don’t ask you for money. Regardless how intensively you use it. (They might come with other drawbacks though like Google with privacy, environment, ethical principles, …)

It;s more free than Google.

I’ve never been asked to pay for using one of the aforementioned search engines. I have been asked to pay for OpenAI products.
So I don’t see how you come to that conclusion.

The ones where you just claim that despite it being not true or which ones do you mean?
