Getting a key
The process is the same everywhere: create an account, add a payment method, create a key, copy it once.1
Create an account with the provider
ChatGPT and Gemini keys come from a developer console that is separate from the consumer chat product. A ChatGPT Plus subscription does not include API access, and this catches people out.
2
Add billing and set a spending limit
Do this before you generate the key, not after. The limit is your only hard ceiling.
3
Create the key and copy it
Most providers show a key once. If you lose it, create another rather than hunting for it.
4
Paste it into Generatify
Settings > Connectors, enable the provider, paste the key, save.
Which one
There is no ranking that stays true for long, because all four release new models constantly. Choose on these instead.You want image generation
You want image generation
Connect ChatGPT or Gemini. Those are the two that provide an image model, and the editor will tell you no image model is available if you connect only Claude or Kimi.
You want long documents handled well
You want long documents handled well
Claude and Gemini both handle large amounts of context comfortably, which matters if you generate long articles or point the copilot at big files.
You want the cheapest running cost
You want the cheapest running cost
Every provider offers a range from small and cheap to large and expensive, and the small models are enough for meta descriptions and tag suggestions. The choice of provider matters less to your bill than which features you enable.
You already have an account
You already have an account
Use it. The differences between these four matter far less than getting started, and switching later is one field on one settings tab.
Connecting more than one
The model selector on Generatify > Chatbot lists the most capable model from each connected provider, plus Auto. Worth doing when you want to compare answers to the same question, or want a fallback during an outage. It does not save money, because you pay whichever one you use.Controlling what you spend
The features differ enormously in how much they cost to run.
The last row is the one to watch. Everything else is bounded by how often you personally use it. Helpdesk conversation mode is bounded by your traffic, so enable it on a busy site only after you have set a limit you are comfortable with.
When a key stops working
For the third row, check the provider’s dashboard rather than the plugin: Generatify passes their error back and it will usually name the cause. For the fourth, see the timeout filters.
