Free ($0)
Limited GPT-5.4 access with strict caps. Includes limited Deep Research, Sora 2, image generation, and voice. Shows ads in the US. Data used for training (opt-out available). Good for trying things out, not for real work.
Go ($8/month)
The new budget tier. Significantly more messages than Free, GPT-5.4 Instant (faster but less capable than Thinking), expanded Deep Research and Sora 2. May include ads. No ad-free option.
Who it’s for: People who need more than Free but can’t justify $20/mo.

Plus ($20/month) — Best Value
The sweet spot. Ad-free, generous GPT-5.4 Thinking limits, expanded Deep Research, Sora, image generation, advanced voice, Codex, and native computer use. This is the plan most people should be on.
Who it’s for: Anyone using ChatGPT for real work — writing, coding, research, content creation.
Pro ($200/month)
GPT-5.4 Pro model (the best variant), maximum Deep Research, expanded Sora, near-unlimited access, o1 pro mode, and priority availability. Only worth it if you consistently hit Plus limits.

Who it’s for: Researchers, developers, and power users who live in ChatGPT 8+ hours a day.
Business ($25-30/user/month)
Everything in Plus plus workspace privacy, SAML SSO, and admin console. $25/user on annual billing, $30/user monthly. Minimum 2 users. Data NOT used for training by default.
Who it’s for: Teams that need privacy guarantees and centralized management.
Enterprise (Custom)
Full GPT-5.4 Pro access, SCIM, SLAs, compliance certifications, custom data retention. Contact sales for pricing.
The Verdict
Most people: Plus at $20/mo. It’s the best value by far.
Budget-conscious: Go at $8/mo — skip the ads on Free without breaking the bank.
Teams: Business at $25/user/mo (annual) — the privacy guarantees alone are worth it.
Power users: Pro at $200/mo, but only if you’re genuinely hitting Plus limits daily.
Note: API access is billed separately. No ChatGPT subscription includes API usage.
