Since its launch at the end of November 2022, ChatGPT has evolved at a rapid pace, integrating new capabilities and modifications that have allowed it to provide improved service. As its AI has grown, OpenAI has introduced various plans and prices to meet the needs of every type of user.
Following the launch of GPT-5 in August 2025, the landscape of ChatGPT’s different plans and pricing evolved to suit the new context. In general, it can be summarized that GPT-5 became the new standard—the default model in ChatGPT for all registered users, replacing previous versions such as GPT‑4o, o3, GPT‑4.1, GPT‑4.5, and GPT‑4.
Now, let us bring some clarity to this topic 😉
This plan is available at no cost to any user and provides access to the GPT‑5 model, though usage is limited compared to paid versions. Through this plan, users may interact with ChatGPT, upload files and images, and receive enhanced responses utilizing real-time web content. Additionally, they will have the ability to generate images and perform data analysis, albeit with some restrictions on both the quantity and depth of interactions. Once the limit is reached, you will proceed to use the GPT-5 mini model.
What are the specific limits? You may send up to 10 messages every 5 hours. Upon reaching this limit, chats will automatically use the mini version of the model until the allotment refreshes. Users on the free plan are also granted one GPT-5 Thinking message per day.
Furthermore, you may explore the GPT Store (although you may not create custom GPTs), but the available voice model is only the standard one, without access to advanced features. This plan is ideal for those wishing to use the artificial intelligence tool for personal purposes without demanding advanced functionalities, thus taking advantage of the basic capabilities available.
This is the company’s most recent plan, priced at €9.99 per month. It is intended as an affordable paid option for individuals already familiar with the free plan who wish to unlock greater access to the principal tools of this AI.
ChatGPT Go expands the usage limits for functions included in the free plan (advanced reasoning with GPT-5, message uploads, image generation, advanced research, and memory) and allows for the creation of custom GPTs. However, OpenAI has not yet specified the precise usage limits for this plan.
Priced at €23 per month, ChatGPT Plus is designed for users who wish to enhance their productivity and creativity using AI for their projects. This plan offers all the functionalities of the Go plan, but with greater capabilities and fewer restrictions.
Although there are still some limitations regarding messaging, file uploads, advanced data analysis, and image generation, ChatGPT Plus allows users to send up to 160 messages every 3 hours using GPT‑5, after which the mini model is used. However, during periods of high demand, these conditions may be temporarily reduced.
Additionally, you may manually select the GPT-5-Thinking model in the model selector, with a usage limit of up to 3,000 messages per week. Once the weekly limit has been reached, a pop-up notification will appear and GPT-5-Thinking will no longer be available in the menu.
Other relevant features included in this plan are limited access to Sora 1, ChatGPT’s video-generating AI, and the possibility of using the programming agent Codex.
This plan is priced at $100 per month and is designed for developers, analysts, and content creators who require superior performance and greater autonomy in their daily workflows, without incurring the cost of the full Pro plan.
This plan provides a strategic balance by including all the benefits of the Plus plan but enhanced for intensive usage: it offers up to 10 times more capacity in OpenAI Codex and access to GPT-5.3 and GPT-5.4 Pro models. These versions are specifically optimized for complex reasoning and the execution of technical tasks, allowing greater fluidity in code generation and processing large volumes of data with reduced latency.
Furthermore, the $100 plan stands out by offering extended access to research tools, enhanced processing capacity for lengthy sessions, and the possibility to work with unlimited file uploads, facilitating a more continuous and specialized AI experience tailored to professional production needs.
The ChatGPT Pro model costs €229 per month and is designed for experts, professionals, and researchers who need advanced capabilities in the field of artificial intelligence.
ChatGPT Pro integrates all the advantages and features of the Plus plan but with additional enhancements, such as unlimited access to GPT‑5 and advanced reasoning models. Users on this plan may take advantage of models such as GPT‑5 Thinking and GPT‑5 Pro, which are optimized to solve complex queries with greater computational power, thereby improving performance in scientific, mathematical, and programming tasks.
Additionally, ChatGPT Pro provides extended access to Deep Research, advanced voice mode, and the opportunity to experiment with OpenAI’s new research initiatives, such as the Operator model.
The pricing for this plan varies depending on whether you opt for an annual subscription (€29/month per user) or a monthly subscription (€34/month per user). ChatGPT Business is built for teams, as well as small and medium-sized companies, and can accommodate between 2 and 149 users.
It includes all ChatGPT Plus functionalities and imposes fewer limitations (though some still apply) in areas such as web browsing, data analysis, and image/video generation. Users of ChatGPT Business can use GPT‑5 as the default model, with access to advanced features and a higher usage volume compared to free plans. Furthermore, ChatGPT Business features an admin console for workspace management and assures that provided data will not be utilized for AI training purposes.
As with the Plus plan, a Business user may manually select the GPT-5-Thinking model via the model selector, with a usage limit of up to 3,000 messages per week. Once the weekly limit is reached, a pop-up notification will appear and GPT-5-Thinking will no longer be available in the menu. This plan also grants access to GPT-5 Pro.
This is the plan you should choose if ChatGPT Business falls short for your company’s needs, as it is capable of supporting more than 150 users. The price for this plan is set based on the specific requirements of the organization, so it is necessary to contact OpenAI’s sales team in order to receive a personalized quote.
ChatGPT Enterprise offers all the capabilities of the Business plan, but with additional enhancements such as higher message limits, an extended context window that allows the processing of longer inputs and larger files, as well as advanced privacy and enterprise-level data analysis capabilities. Users also have priority access to OpenAI’s models and experts. In addition, 24/7 priority support is provided.
In May 2024, OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Edu, a solution aimed at universities so that all campus members (students, professors, and researchers) may benefit from the advanced capabilities of artificial intelligence. This model is now based on GPT‑5 and provides access to its features, with fewer restrictions than the free plan.
ChatGPT Edu includes advanced capabilities such as data analysis, web browsing, file integration, and the ability to summarize documents. It also allows for the creation of custom GPTs that may be shared within university workspaces. Moreover, this model is equipped with enterprise-grade administrative and security controls.
Regarding its price, OpenAI does not establish a fixed fee and requests that universities contact their sales team to obtain a personalized quote. This suggests that the plan’s cost will be adjusted according to the specific needs and characteristics of each educational institution.
