OpenAI has announced several important changes to ChatGPT. First, the company says it is rolling out its more affordable ChatGPT Go plan in the United States for $8 per month. OpenAI also confirmed it will soon start testing ads in ChatGPT …
ChatGPT Go
OpenAI first launched ChatGPT Go in India last year and gradually rolled out it to 170 additional countries. Starting today, ChatGPT Go is available everywhere ChatGPT is available, including the United States.
With this, there are now three tiers of ChatGPT available:
- ChatGPT Go at $8 USD/month
- ChatGPT Plus at $20 USD/month
- ChatGPT Pro at $200 USD/month
Here’s what you get with ChatGPT Go compared to the free plan:
- 10x more messages, file uploads and image creation than the free tier, so you can keep chatting with no limits on GPT‑5.2 Instant.
- Longer memory and context window, so ChatGPT can remember more about you over time.
Ads in ChatGPT
Second, OpenAI says that it will “testing ads in the free tier and ChatGPT Go in the US soon.” ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise tiers will remain ad-free.
OpenAI detailed its approach to ads in ChatGPT in a blog post published today:
To start, we plan to test ads at the bottom of answers in ChatGPT when there’s a relevant sponsored product or service based on your current conversation. Ads will be clearly labeled and separated from the organic answer. You’ll be able to learn more about why you’re seeing that ad, or dismiss any ad and tell us why. During our test, we will not show ads in accounts where the user tells us or we predict that they are under 18, and ads are not eligible to appear near sensitive or regulated topics like health, mental health or politics.
Furthermore, OpenAI says that your conversations with ChatGPT are not shared with advertisers. Ads also will not influence answers that ChatGPT gives you.
OpenAI says that it’s “not launching ads yet,” but rather plans to “start testing in the coming weeks for logged in adults in the U.S. on the free and Go tiers.”
