ChatGPT Plus: Price, features & how to get it

For $20 per month, you can now unlock the premium experience of ChatGPT Plus, offering an exclusive passage to GPT-4, the latest breakthrough from OpenAI’s ever-evolving software portfolio.

ChatGPT has built quite the reputation since its launch, flexing its muscle across multiple use cases, such as aiding programmers and contributing to content creation. While the user base of ChatGPT is swelling at a blazing fast rate, it has helped OpenAI, ChatGPT’s creator, amass almost a billion users on its site in no time.

As OpenAI looks to cash in on the incredible success of this groundbreaking AI conversation tool, the shift from a modest “ChatGPT Pro” pilot program to the fully-fledged ChatGPT Plus has taken place.

The newly unveiled GPT 4 adds more firepower to this widely-acclaimed AI chatbot. And, if you want a slice of this next-level tech, ChatGPT Plus is your one-stop shop at a monthly fee of $20.

ChatGPT was one of the fastest growing services till Instagram’s Threads raced past it. This AI-powered chatbot is helping change the way most people work. Among its various use cases, ChatGPT is most suited for customer support, content creators, social media managers, developers, and more.

However, to cater to more serious or professional users, OpenAI introduced a paid ChatGPT tier, offering exclusive benefits for a monthly fee of $20.On upgrading to ChatGPT Plus, users are not only promised the latest language model (currently GPT-4), faster response, better customer support, and more.

What is ChatGPT Plus?

ChatGPT Plus is an enhanced version of ChatGPT that allows you to get faster responses, a better connection to the tool, and early access to new features. However, right now ChatGPT Plus isn’t available to everyone. It’s limited to a select pool of users, and some have been speaking out on their experiences.

It’s also the only way to currently access ChatGPT-4. The updated AI model introduces more accurate answers to tough problems, as well as updating the overall model to include better creativity, take in visual input and even glean information from a link to provide better context.

Developer Zahid Khawaja has access and has shared a video of ChatGPT Pro (now ChatGPT Plus) on his Twitter page.

ChatGPT Plus price

ChatGPT Plus will cost users $20 per month. This is a decrease from the $42 per month that we saw from OpenAI’s “ChatGPT Pro” pilot program. This means that ChatGPT Plus will cost users around $240 per year annually. However, we also expect that ChatGPT Plus will eventually get a slightly discounted annual rate after it matures.

This might not be worth it for those who want to mess around with an AI chatbot, but for those using it on a daily basis as an assistant or similar, the savings could rack up quite nicely. At $20, it’s an accessible price for one of the most disruptive pieces of technology seen in our lifetime.

The original price for ChatGPT Pro was $42 per month, according to Zahid Khawaja’s Twitter page. He also posted proof of his plan, which appears to renew on a monthly basis.

How to get ChatGPT Plus

To be in line to get ChatGPT Plus, you can simply access this form where OpenAI will put you on a waiting list.

ChatGPT Plus is whitelisted to select users in the US only. OpenAI has stated that they will broaden the pool to users beyond the us “soon”, with no date available for any international punters. But, for most users, it’s still unavailable to most people in the world right now. We’re hoping to see OpenAI expand the list sooner, rather than later.

ChatGPT Plus was originally a pilot program named ChatGPT Pro

ChatGPT Pro was the working name for what eventually became ChatGPT Plus. Users began reporting that a “ChatGPT Pro” was becoming available to users, but not officially announced. Since it has been officially revealed, with a name change, it’s likely that OpenAI is currently using the current crop of subscribers as a soft launch of sorts,

With that in mind, it appears that tech companies like Microsoft are already working with OpenAI in order to bring some of the services over to its users. So, we’ll await our AI overlords a little bit longer, they have not quite taken the world by storm yet.
