OpenAI releases a cheaper ChatGPT subscription
OpenAI has launched its lower-cost ChatGPT Go subscription globally for $8 per month, offering more features than the free tier.Summary
OpenAI is expanding its lower-cost subscription tier, ChatGPT Go, to the US and the rest of the world after its initial release in India and 170 other countries. Priced at $8 per month, Go sits between the free version and the $20/month Plus subscription, offering subscribers more messages, file uploads, and image generation capabilities. The tier is aimed at users wanting greater access to the latest AI model, GPT-5.2 Instant, as free users are currently limited to 10 messages every five hours before switching to a 'mini version.' While the exact message limit for Go is estimated to be 100 messages based on the '10x' increase promised over the free tier, specific details on file uploads, images, and context window size compared to other tiers remain unspecified. OpenAI also announced that it will soon begin running ads within the Go tier in the US, while Plus and higher subscriptions will remain ad-free.
