OpenAI has continuously improved its ChatGPT platform by adding new features like memory, advanced voice mode, and a GPT Store for AI-driven apps. With all these advancements, you might be wondering: how much does ChatGPT cost? The answer is not straightforward as OpenAI offers a variety of plans tailored to different users, from individuals to businesses and educational institutions.
Here’s an updated guide to help you navigate ChatGPT’s pricing:
ChatGPT Free
The free version of ChatGPT has come a long way. Initially limited in its capabilities, it now grants access to OpenAI’s GPT-4o mini model, enhanced web content, and the GPT Store. Free users can upload and query files and photos, and even access more advanced features like GPT-4o, o3-mini, and Advanced Voice mode, although some features are restricted by daily limits and capacity.
ChatGPT Plus
For $20 per month, ChatGPT Plus unlocks higher capacity, allowing 80 messages to GPT-4o every 3 hours, plus unlimited messages to GPT4o-mini. Subscribers also gain access to advanced tools, including multimodal features like video sharing and voice mode, though there are still some daily limits.
Plus users also get exclusive access to tools for deep research, improved data analysis (creating interactive charts from data), and the ability to upload and analyze files from Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive.
ChatGPT Pro
For those who need near-unlimited access to OpenAI’s capabilities, ChatGPT Pro offers the most comprehensive plan at $200 per month. It includes unlimited access to reasoning models, GPT-4o, and Advanced Voice mode, as well as 120 deep research queries each month. Pro subscribers also get priority access to new features and tools, like the Operator web-browsing agent and Sora video generation.
ChatGPT Team
Businesses and teams can opt for ChatGPT Team, which provides collaboration features and costs $30 per user per month ($25 for annual billing). This plan offers workspace management, access to OpenAI’s latest models, and custom app development for teams. Team members can build and share apps tailored to their department or business needs.
ChatGPT Enterprise
For larger organizations with over 149 users, ChatGPT Enterprise is available. The cost is around $60 per user per month (with a 12-month contract). This plan provides enterprise-grade security, privacy features, enhanced performance, and customization options. It includes a dedicated workspace, admin tools, and the ability to integrate with systems like single sign-on and domain verification.
ChatGPT Enterprise also provides a set of internal conversation templates, credits for API use, and access to a dedicated account team. Customers can also get Business Associate Agreements if working with sensitive data, such as medical records.
ChatGPT Edu
ChatGPT Edu is aimed at educational institutions, offering a version of ChatGPT tailored for universities and their students, faculty, and staff. The plan includes SCIM support for simplified identity management, advanced security features, and enhanced message limits. It shares many of the same capabilities as the Enterprise plan but focuses on the educational sector.
OpenAI for Nonprofits
OpenAI for Nonprofits provides discounts for eligible organizations. Nonprofits can access ChatGPT Team for $20 per user per month, and larger nonprofits can get a 50% discount on ChatGPT Enterprise, bringing the cost to around $30 per user. However, eligibility is restricted, with no applications accepted from academic, medical, religious, or governmental institutions.
