ChatGPT Pricing: Full Details on OpenAI's Plans

ChatGPT, the AI-powered chatbot from OpenAI, is constantly evolving with new features that make it even more useful. One cool thing is the memory feature, which lets you save your preferences so your chats feel more personalized. Plus, there's an upgraded voice mode that lets you chat in real time, almost like talking to a friend. And if you're into AI apps, there's the GPT Store where you can find all sorts of AI-powered goodies.

Now, you might be wondering, "How much does ChatGPT cost?" It's not a simple question because OpenAI offers a bunch of different plans, both free and paid, for everyone from individuals to big businesses and even nonprofits.

To help you navigate all these options, we've put together a guide on ChatGPT pricing. We'll keep it updated as new plans come out, so you always know what's available.

ChatGPT Free

Remember when the free version of ChatGPT was pretty basic? Well, those days are gone. OpenAI has been busy adding new features and upgrading the AI models.

With the free version, you get access to the GPT-4o mini model, responses that pull in info from the web, the GPT Store, and the ability to upload files and photos and ask questions about them. Free users also get a taste of more advanced features like Advanced Voice mode, GPT-4o, and o3-mini. You can save your chat preferences as "memories" and use the advanced data analysis feature to dig into files like spreadsheets and PDFs.

But, there are some downsides. Free users hit daily limits on the GPT-4o model and file uploads, depending on how busy the servers are. Plus, you miss out on some of the more advanced features, which we'll talk about next.

ChatGPT Plus

If you're an individual looking for a more powerful ChatGPT experience, there's ChatGPT Plus, which costs $20 a month.

With ChatGPT Plus, you get more capacity than the free version — you can send 80 messages to GPT-4o every three hours and unlimited messages to GPT-4o-mini. Plus, you get access to OpenAI's reasoning models like o3-mini, o1-preview, and o1-mini.

Subscribers also get to use multimodal features like Advanced Voice mode with video and screen sharing, though there might be daily limits. You'll also have limited access to newer tools like OpenAI's deep research agent and Sora's video generation.

ChatGPT Plus also comes with an upgraded data analysis feature powered by GPT-4o, which can create interactive charts and tables from your datasets. You can upload files directly from Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or your device.

ChatGPT Pro

For those who want almost unlimited access to OpenAI's products and a chance to try new features first, there's ChatGPT Pro. It costs $200 a month.

ChatGPT Pro subscribers get unlimited access to reasoning models, GPT-4o, and Advanced Voice mode. You also get 120 deep research queries a month and access to o1 pro mode, which is more powerful than the o1 version in ChatGPT Plus.

Pro users also get to use OpenAI's web-browsing agent, Operator, and more video generations with Sora. OpenAI usually rolls out new features to Pro users first, and they get priority access to existing features like GPT-4o during peak times.

ChatGPT Team

If you run a small business or manage an organization and need more than one ChatGPT license, plus some collaborative features, ChatGPT Team might be what you're looking for. It costs $30 per user per month or $25 per user per month if billed annually, for up to 149 users.

ChatGPT Team gives you a dedicated workspace and admin tools to manage your team. Everyone on the plan gets access to OpenAI's latest models and the tools that let ChatGPT analyze, edit, and extract info from files. Plus, team members can build and share custom apps based on OpenAI models, tailored for specific use cases or departments, or even tuned on your team's data.

ChatGPT Enterprise

For larger organizations that need more than 149 ChatGPT licenses, there's ChatGPT Enterprise, OpenAI's corporate-focused plan. The price isn't public, but it's reportedly around $60 per user per month, with a minimum of 150 users and a 12-month contract.

ChatGPT Enterprise adds enterprise-grade privacy and data analysis capabilities, plus enhanced performance and customization options. You get a dedicated workspace and admin console with tools to manage how your employees use ChatGPT, including single sign-on, domain verification, and a dashboard showing usage and engagement stats.

Enterprise users can also build internal workflows and bots using shareable conversation templates, and they get credits to OpenAI's API platform to create fully custom ChatGPT-powered solutions. Plus, you get priority access to models and direct lines to OpenAI expertise, including a dedicated account team, training, and consolidated invoicing. And if you're dealing with private health info, you're eligible for Business Associate Agreements with OpenAI.

ChatGPT Edu

ChatGPT Edu is OpenAI's latest offering, designed for universities and their students, faculty, staff researchers, and campus operations teams. The pricing hasn't been made public yet, but we'll update this section when it is.

ChatGPT Edu is similar to ChatGPT Enterprise but supports SCIM, an open protocol for cloud identity and access management. (OpenAI plans to add SCIM to ChatGPT Enterprise later.) Like Enterprise, Edu users get data analysis tools, admin controls, single sign-on, enhanced security, and the ability to build and share custom chatbots. Plus, you get the latest OpenAI models and increased message limits.

OpenAI for Nonprofits

OpenAI for Nonprofits isn't a standalone ChatGPT plan but a range of discounts for eligible organizations. Nonprofits can get ChatGPT Team for $20 per user per month, and larger nonprofits can get a 50% discount on ChatGPT Enterprise, which comes out to about $30 per user.

The eligibility requirements are pretty strict, though. While nonprofits from anywhere in the world can apply, OpenAI isn't currently accepting applications from academic, medical, religious, or governmental institutions.
