The economic payment plan for ChatGPT. The wildly popular chatbot launched its first subscriptions in February 2023, just months after ChatGPT hit the consumer market. TO ChatGPT Pluswhich is currently priced at 23 After a month, the very expensive one followed ChatGPT Pro in December 2024. This one, with a price of 229 euros per month, is aimed at advanced users. And where are the users who are willing to pay, although less than in previous cases, to obtain improvements and more usage limits? It is directed to them ChatGPT Go.
The new subscription has a cost of €9.99 per month that will probably convince many, something that OpenAI needs. The company continues to spend as if there were no tomorrow and although it has a huge user base, it is another thing to monetize it. Chatbots have not yet taken the step of including advertising in their responses, something that will inevitably come, and in the meantime subscriptions are the way they make money from individual users.
ChatGPT is the chatbot that has the most, 800 millionweeklybut the percentage of those who pay is very, very small. OpenAI provides figures for the first, but not for the second, which is estimated, according to statistics aggregators, to be between 15 and 20 million. Gemini has fewer users overall, 650 million monthly in the app, but subscribers to their payment plans Google One -which before the chatbot already had the hook of offering greater cloud storage space and other advantages to Google users- were in the process of 150 million usersmuch more.
ChatGPT Go comes to alleviate this situation and improve the company’s numbers. This is what ChatGPT’s payment plans look like after this new addition.

It should be noted that OpenAI is quite opaque in terms of specific limits of use. Expressions like ‘expanded access’ or ‘more messages and uploads’ don’t say much to the user, but it is what it is. Yes we know what they are flexible limits which also depend on the demand for the service at any given time. The user will know that they have reached it when ChatGPT tells them that they cannot use a certain function until a certain time has passed that it will indicate.
