ChatGPT Pricing in 2026: Free, Go, Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise

Guide published on October 31, 2026, compiled from OpenAI's business pricing page, OpenAI's help center and price surveys conducted from France in October 2026. OpenAI changes its offers and models several times per quarter: the amount displayed at the time of payment is binding.

ChatGPT costs from €0 to €510 per month for individuals, and from €21 per user per month for teams. The free version and the €8 Go plan are sufficient for occasional use, with advertising. ChatGPT Plus, at €23 including VAT per month, remains the standard subscription for professional use: it provides access to GPT-6 Sol, Deep Research, agent mode, and Codex. The three Pro tiers, from $100 to $500, don't offer a different basic model but rather increased storage capacity and a professional approach. For businesses, ChatGPT Business covers 2 to 200 users, and Enterprise is priced on a quote basis. This guide details each price, what it includes, and how to choose the right plan without paying for unnecessary services.

The essentials in five lines

  • Free and Go (8 € per month): The GPT-6 Luna model, with advertising, without full Deep Research or agent mode.
  • Plus (€23 incl. VAT per month, $20 in the United States): GPT-6 Sol, Deep Research, agent mode, Codex, projects and plugins (which replace custom GPTs), without advertising.
  • Pro 100, Pro 200 and Pro 500: €103, €229 and €510 per month in France, for more volume, Pro reasoning on GPT-6 Astra and, on Pro 500 only, Ultrafast mode.
  • Business: €21 per user per month with annual commitment, €26 monthly, from 2 to 200 users, with SSO, administration console and data excluded from training.
  • Company: Price upon request, with SCIM, encryption key management, data residency and priority support.

Offers for individuals are displayed inclusive of all taxes in France. The price of the Pro tiers in euros is higher than a simple conversion from dollars because it includes VAT. If you subscribe through the iPhone or Android app, the price is set by the app store and may differ from the website price. No Pro plan offers an annual discount; only the Business plan offers a discount with an annual commitment.

Free ChatGPT and ChatGPT Go: what you get for €0 or €8

The free version works on the web, on computers, and on mobile devices, with a simple account. Since October 8, 2026, it has run on GPT-6 Luna, the lightweight version of the GPT-6 family. It includes chat, web search, file and image analysis (within certain limits), the Think button, and a few limited Deep Search features per month. It does not provide access to GPT-6 Sol, the main model for paid services, nor to the full Deep Search capabilities.

ChatGPT Go arrived in France in December 2025, priced at €8 per month. It retains the same model as the free version but raises the limits: more messages, more files and images, and longer memory. It does not include Deep Research or agent mode. Both offerings have displayed advertising since the beginning of 2026; OpenAI offers an ad-free mode in the free version, in exchange for a lower number of daily messages.

For professional use, a word of caution: a free or Go account is a personal account, without the contractual guarantees of a business plan. Before uploading work documents, check your organization's policy. The kit Shadow IA help to address these unregulated uses.

ChatGPT Plus: price and what it includes

ChatGPT Plus costs $20 per month in the United States and €23 (including VAT) per month in France, with no commitment. There is no discounted annual rate for Plus. This is the offering that transforms ChatGPT from a conversational assistant into a work tool. It adds to the free offerings:

  • GPT-6 Sol, the main OpenAI model, in conversation since October 7, 2026, and GPT-6.1 Sol in ChatGPT Work and Codex.
  • Deep Researchwhich conducts a multi-minute literature search and produces a sourced report. The latest figures published by OpenAI showed 10 full searches and 15 abridged searches per month.
  • Agent modewhich navigates, fills out forms and completes steps for you.
  • Codex, the OpenAI code agent, with a standard envelope.
  • Projects and plugins (the creation of custom GPTs is closed; existing ones must be migrated to plugins before December 11, 2026), to maintain the context of a case and reuse instructions.
  • No advertising.

Like its competitors, OpenAI doesn't publish a specific number of messages for Plus: usage depends on the chosen model, the length of the exchanges, and the tools used. When the limit is reached, you can wait for a reset or, with personal plans, purchase flexible usage credits. To find out which model to use for which task, see our article. The right AI model for each task.

ChatGPT Pro 100, Pro 200, Pro 500: three tiers for volume

OpenAI now offers three Pro subscriptions, billed monthly with no annual discount. Price checks conducted from France show approximately €103 for Pro 100, €229 for Pro 200, and €510 for Pro 500.

Pro 100Pro 200Pro 500
Reference price100 $ per month200 $ per month500 $ per month

Professional Reasoning on GPT-6 AstraYesYesYes

Ultrafast mode in Work and CodexNoNoYes
Limit per five-hour sessionNo, weekly limits are possibleNo, weekly limits are possibleNo, weekly limits are possible

Pro doesn't offer a smarter ChatGPT for everyday tasks: the conversation model remains GPT-6 Sol. It buys volume, Pro reasoning on GPT-6 Astra for complex problems, and a much larger Codex envelope. Pro 500's Ultrafast mode speeds up text production in Work and Codex but consumes the envelope approximately eight times faster. As for Dots, the always-on agent offered to Pro and Business Premium subscribers, it's not available in the European Economic Area, and therefore not in France.

Pro is justified in two cases: you reach the Plus limit several times a week, or you entrust Codex or ChatGPT Work with lengthy tasks every day. For office use, even heavy use, Plus remains the right choice. The differences between ChatGPT Work, Claude Cowork and Copilot Cowork are detailed in our comparison of the three tools.

ChatGPT Business: the price for a team

ChatGPT Business, formerly ChatGPT Team, is designed for teams of 2 to 200 people. OpenAI lists a standard seat at $20 per user per month with an annual commitment, or $25 per month; in France, pricing is listed at €21 per year and €26 per month. A premium seat, at $100 per year and $125 per month, provides larger budgets for larger users, and both types of seats can be combined in the same workspace.

What Business adds compared to an individual Plus subscription:

  • The data is not used to train the models, by default and contractually.
  • Security and administration SAML single sign-on, two-factor authentication, administration console, administrator roles, domain verification, single billing, SOC 2 Type 2 compliance.
  • Over 60 connectorsincluding Slack, Google Drive, SharePoint, GitHub and Atlassian, to query your tools from ChatGPT.
  • Shared projects and workspace GPTs, to share instructions and reference documents.
  • Codex, Deep Research, data analysis, and the canvas.

What Business doesn't understand, and what is pushing large organizations towards Enterprise: account management by SCIM, encryption key management, role-based access controls, usage dashboard, list of authorized IP addresses, data residency and deployment support.

Licenses don't guarantee adoption: a team equipped with Business applications that hasn't learned to structure its projects and GPTs is paying for seats that are rarely used. That's why our ChatGPT training in companies part of the projects, workspace agents and Deep Research, applied to the real cases of the participants.

ChatGPT Enterprise: price upon request

ChatGPT Enterprise does not have a public price: OpenAI sells it through its sales team, with invoice-based billing and volume discounts. The offering targets organizations with more than 200 users or those with stringent compliance requirements. It adds to Business:

  • Large-scale identity management SCIM, role-based access controls, domain verification.
  • Data mastery : management of encryption keys by the company, customized retention period, encryption at rest and in transit, and data residency in ten regions.
  • The pilot : user usage dashboard.
  • The Rack : priority 24-hour support, service level commitments, tailored legal terms.
  • An expanded context window for long documents.

Educational institutions use ChatGPT Edu, which is subscribed to by the school or university. There is no general student discount on Plus.

How much does ChatGPT cost a team: three numerical examples

Here are three annual budgets calculated on prices recorded in France in October 2026 for the standard Business seat, excluding negotiated discounts.

SituationChoiceAnnual cost
Team of 10 peopleBusiness with monthly payments, giving time to measure usage€3,120
Team of 10 peopleBusiness with annual commitment€2,520
SME with 50 peopleBusiness with annual commitments for all€12,600
SME with 50 peopleBusiness with monthly payments for everyone€15,600
Organization of 200 peopleBusiness with annual commitment, offer cap€50,400

Annual payments save approximately 20%, but commit you to a fixed number of seats. It's better to start with a monthly plan with a pilot group, assess actual usage for two or three months, and then switch to an annual plan. Usage credits for high-volume users and the cost of premium seats, if you choose, can be added to these amounts.

The price of the OpenAI API

The API is used to integrate OpenAI models into your own applications or agents. It is paid for in millions of tokens, in dollars, with entry and exit fees specific to each model, and is completely separate from subscriptions: a ChatGPT Plus or Business account does not provide any API credit. Pricing changes with each new model; consult the OpenAI developer pricing page before budgeting a project.

Five ways to pay less for ChatGPT

  1. Switch to a yearly Business plan once usage has been measured : approximately 20% savings.
  2. Don't equip everyone with Pro gear A standard chair is sufficient for the vast majority of office uses.
  3. Mix standard and premium seats in Business rather than giving individual Pro subscriptions.
  4. Open a new conversation by topic : a conversation that gets longer uses more envelope with each reply.
  5. Cancel from the right place : a subscription taken out on iPhone or Android is cancelled in the app store, not on chatgpt.com.

F.A.Q

How much does ChatGPT Plus cost in France?

ChatGPT Plus costs €23 including VAT per month in France, with no commitment, compared to a reference price of $20 in the United States. There is no discounted annual rate.

What is the difference between ChatGPT Go and ChatGPT Plus?

Go, at €8 per month, retains the model of the free version (GPT-6 Luna) with higher limits, but displays advertising and does not include Deep Research or agent mode. Plus, at €23 including VAT, provides GPT-6 Sol, Deep Research, agent mode, and Codex, without advertising.

How much does ChatGPT Pro cost?

There are three tiers: Pro 100, Pro 200, and Pro 500, priced at $100, $200, and $500 per month, respectively. Prices calculated from France are approximately €103, €229, and €510 per month. They differ in their data allowance; only Pro 500 offers Ultrafast mode.

How much does ChatGPT Business cost per user?

The standard seat costs $20 per user per month with an annual commitment and $25 per user per month, which is approximately €21 and €26 in France. A minimum of two users is required, and the plan supports up to 200 users. The premium seat costs $100 per user per year and $125 per user per month.

Does the ChatGPT Team still exist?

ChatGPT Team has been renamed ChatGPT Business. It's the same offering for teams, with a shared workspace, an administration console, and data excluded from training.

Is my data being used to train the models?

Not with Business, Enterprise, and Edu: OpenAI enables this by default. On personal plans (free, Go, Plus, Pro), training is enabled by default and can be disabled in the data control settings.
