Free, Plus ($20/mo), Pro 100, Pro 200 and Pro 500 ($500/mo), plus business plans. API pricing is separate.
| Plan | Price | Model | Key Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | GPT-5.6 Luna default in consumer Chat | Limited Chat, search, image generation and file analysis; allowances vary |
| Plus | $20/mo | GPT-5.6 Sol in consumer Chat; Work/Codex model access is separate | Higher usage allowances, data analysis, image generation, search and custom GPTs; not unlimited use |
| Pro 100 / Pro 200 / Pro 500 | $100 / $200 / $500 per month | Current plan-dependent model access | Higher tiers include more usage. Pro 500 includes Ultrafast in Work/Codex within included usage. GPT-6.1 Sol Ultrafast supports US/EU inference residency; Astra Ultrafast does not support EU residency. This is not consumer Chat model access or included API spend. |
| Business (formerly Team) | $20/user/month billed annually $25/user/month billed monthly; 2+ users |
Plan and administrator-dependent access | Dedicated workspace, admin controls, SAML SSO and MFA; no training on business data by default |
| Enterprise | Custom | Plan and administrator-dependent access | Enterprise administration, audit/compliance tools and retention/residency controls; contact sales for terms |
Checked October 12, 2026 against OpenAI plan pricing, Chat release notes and Work/Codex model access. GPT-6.1 Sol in Work/Codex is not the same entitlement as GPT-5.6 Sol in consumer Chat. API keys have separate billing.
Free is great for occasional use. Plus ($240/year) worthwhile if you use ChatGPT daily for writing, coding, or analysis.
For five seats, annual Business is $1,200/year; monthly Business is $1,500/year. Choose its workspace and governance features, not an unsupported seat-count breakeven rule.
API cost depends on tokens, model, tools and service mode, not a fixed number of calls. GPT-6.1 Sol standard cached input is $0.10/M; prompts above 272K use the documented long-context multipliers. Fast/Ultrafast have different prices. See official API pricing and our OpenAI API pricing guide.
| Decision | Free | Plus / Pro | Business / Enterprise | API |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Consumer Chat | Usage-limited; Luna default | Sol access; plan-dependent allowances | Workspace-managed access | Not a Chat subscription |
| Work / Codex | Check current eligibility | Separate model list and usage allowances | Administrator and plan controls apply | Available models depend on API account |
| Search, files and images | Limited allowances | Higher allowances, not unlimited | Plan and admin controls apply | Separate tools/endpoints and billing |
| Workspace governance | No business workspace | Personal plans | Dedicated workspace; enterprise controls vary | API organization/project controls |
| Payment basis | $0 | Monthly plan plus optional extra credits | Seats or negotiated terms | Metered token/tool usage |

Monitor ChatGPT Pricing →ChatGPT Plus is $20/month. OpenAI currently lists personal Pro tiers at $100, $200 and $500 per month, with progressively higher included usage. Pro 500 is the personal tier documented with Ultrafast in Work/Codex; supported models and residency vary. Compare the current usage allowances and model access rather than treating the old $200 Pro plan as the only Pro option.
Plus adds GPT-5.6 Sol in consumer Chat and higher allowances for supported features. It is worth $20 only if those benefits fit your workload; it does not remove all limits or guarantee a financial return. Try Free first for occasional use.
The API is billed separately from ChatGPT subscriptions. For example, GPT-6.1 Sol standard pricing is $2/M input, $0.10/M cached input and $10/M output at the short-context bracket. Long-context and accelerated service modes cost differently. Calls have no universal fixed price; set spend limits and measure token/tool usage.
Yes. Free uses GPT-5.6 Luna by default in consumer Chat, with limited allowances for supported tools. Plus ($20/month) gives higher allowances and Sol access, not unlimited use. Availability in Work/Codex follows a separate model list.
Business is $20/user/month billed annually or $25/user/month billed monthly, with two or more users. Compare its dedicated workspace, SSO/MFA and data controls against personal Plus accounts. Enterprise terms are negotiated; there is no universal five-user price breakeven.
