Why this table is shorter than OpenAI's plan list
OpenAI lists four individual plans: Free, Go, Plus and Pro. This page shows a price only for the ones we could confirm in US dollars.
ChatGPT's pricing page sets the currency from the visitor's location. Loaded from outside the United States it shows local prices, so it cannot be used to confirm the dollar figure. The Plus price here comes from OpenAI's help center, which states it in dollars. We have not yet found a vendor page that states the Go and Pro prices in dollars, so those rows are left out instead of guessed.
How Plus is billed
OpenAI's pricing page says paid individual plans are priced per user per month, and that annual plans are offered for Business and Enterprise only. Plus is a monthly subscription.
What Plus adds, per OpenAI
Advanced reasoning models, expanded messages and uploads, expanded deep research, expanded memory and context, projects, scheduled tasks and custom GPTs, expanded Codex usage, and early access to new features. OpenAI's help page also lists priority access during busy periods and faster responses.
Limits
OpenAI does not publish a fixed message count for Plus. Its help page says model availability and limits change over time and tells subscribers to check the model picker in their own account. The plan page marks the Plus feature list with "Limits apply".
Is Plus worth it?
We have not tested the plan against Free on the same tasks, so we will not give a verdict. On the published terms, Plus is for people who run into the Free plan's limits on uploads, images, voice or deep research, or who want the reasoning models and Codex access listed for paid plans.
