OpenAI is expanding its low-cost subscription plan ChatGPT Go, which launched first in India and rolled out to 170 countries, to the entire world. Priced at $8/month in the US, this plan is one of the cheapest AI subscription services and is optimized for everyday use.

ChatGPT's subscription model now operates across three tiers as follows:

  • ChatGPT Go ($8/month): Provides the GPT-5.2 Instant model, offering 10x more messages, file uploads, and image generation compared to the free tier. It also supports longer memory and context windows.
  • ChatGPT Plus ($20/month): Includes GPT-5.2 Thinking and the coding agent Codex, along with higher usage limits for advanced reasoning and data analysis.
  • ChatGPT Pro ($200/month): Offers the most powerful GPT-5.2 Pro model with the highest levels of memory and context, plus early access to the latest features.

Meanwhile, to improve accessibility, OpenAI will soon begin testing the introduction of ads for the free tier and ChatGPT Go in the US. However, the Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans will remain ad-free.
