This isn't through OpenAI, you are paying a third party. OpenAI charges by usage

Is InstaGPT a loophole to get a lifetime subscription to ChatGPT?

Sounds scammy. ChatGPT itself does not have an official API at all and the research preview is free to use, while with the other models (that do have official APIs) that OpenAI does charge for, they charge by usage, and purchasing lifetime access from a third party is... not likely to be a good deal, is the best I can say.

Might be actually. The app seemed really legit and I didn't consider buying it but it seemed like a good idea to have a subscription

That one will probably stop working as soon as OpenAI stops offering ChatGPT for free.

Yep! The real apps are built on GPT3 rather than reverse engineered ChatGPT hacks
