ChatGPT Business pricing: your plan and what it costs
ChatGPT Business pricing, per OpenAI's published price table: $20 per user per month billed annually, or $25 billed monthly, with a two-user minimum. Enterprise has no published price: you negotiate it with OpenAI's sales team. Individual plans run from $0 to $20 a month (Free, Go and Plus), and Pro starts at $100.
Prices as published by OpenAI, in US dollars. Checked on November 12, 2026. The architecture firm in the example is made up.
ChatGPT plans and what each one costs
The last two are the company plans. The first four belong to one person, even when the company pays for them.
| Plan | Who it's for | Published price | Minimum | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | One person trying it out | $0 | 1 person | The basics, with limits on messages and files. |
| Go | One person with light daily use | $8 a month | 1 person | More usage than Free. |
| Plus | One person who uses it in depth | $20 a month | 1 person | More usage and more features than Go. |
| Pro | One person with heavy use | From $100 a month (tiers at $100, $200 and $500) | 1 person | Everything in Plus, with much more usage. |
| Business | Teams and small to midsize companies | $20 per user per month billed annually; $25 billed monthly | 2 people | A dedicated workspace, admin controls and sign-in through your company's identity provider (SAML). No training on business data by default. |
| Enterprise | Large organizations, or ones with control requirements | No published price: you talk to sales | Not published | Everything in Business, plus automated account setup and removal (SCIM), audit logs, and controls over how long data is kept and in which region. |

Four questions before you look at the price
Picking a plan depends on how many of you there are, whether you want to manage the accounts together, and how much control you're asked for. Answer and we'll tell you which kind of plan to look at. No amounts inside: they change, and today's is on OpenAI's site.
Question 1 of 4
Will more than one person use it?
Count the people who'd use it every week, not the ones who “might try it.”
The plan doesn't decide that part
Whether it answers from your documents and shows where each answer comes from depends on who gathers those documents and who keeps them current. In ChatGPT that work is yours, on any plan.
- Will more than one person use it? If not, look at an individual plan and skip to question 4.
- Do you want one bill and one place to manage accounts? If not, an individual plan per person will do, knowing each account belongs to whoever opens it. Skip to question 4.
- Do you need audit logs, automated account setup and removal, or a say in where data is stored? If yes, the plan for large organizations (Enterprise). If not, the team plan (Business).
- Do you need answers from your own documents, with the source shown? The plan doesn't decide that: it depends on who gathers and maintains the documents. See how Flipa and ChatGPT compare.
Individual plan or team plan: what's the difference?
An individual plan (Free, Go, Plus or Pro) belongs to one person: they open it with their own email, they pay for it, and nobody else manages it. The team plan, Business, belongs to the company: there's a shared workspace, admin controls for adding and removing people, and one billing account.
The second difference is what happens to what you type. OpenAI's price table says Business comes with no training on business data by default. On individual plans that depends on each account's settings: OpenAI explains it in its help article on how your data is used, which is worth reading before you decide.
Picture a six-person architecture firm, Harlow Bend Architects, where three people already pay for their own account out of pocket. The project narratives they've worked on live in three personal accounts. The day one of them moves to another firm, those go along.
ChatGPT Team, Business or Enterprise: what they're called now
If you're looking for ChatGPT Team pricing, you won't find it under that name: OpenAI renamed the team plan ChatGPT Business, and its pricing pages only list Business now. OpenAI explains the change in its help center.
So the old “Team or Enterprise” question is now ChatGPT Business vs Enterprise:
- Business is self-serve, starting at two people. It includes a dedicated workspace with admin controls and sign-in through your company's identity provider (SAML).
- Enterprise is sold through OpenAI's sales team. It adds automated account setup and removal (SCIM), audit logs, and controls over how long data is kept and in which region.
ChatGPT Business cost per user: the math for ten people
Here's the math, with the ChatGPT Business price published today:
- Billed annually: 10 people × $20 × 12 months = $2,400 a year.
- Month to month: 10 people × $25 = $250 a month, which is $3,000 a year if nobody is removed.
For the six people at Harlow Bend, that would be $1,440 a year on annual billing. Today they pay $720 for three Plus accounts, with no shared administration and half the firm left out.
The amount can change with your country, currency and taxes. The number that counts is the one on the checkout screen.
What no plan includes: knowing your company
ChatGPT shows up knowing a lot about the world and nothing about you. For it to answer with your rates or in your voice, somebody has to give it the documents. ChatGPT lets you upload them, with limits that change by plan.
Uploading is the easy part. The hard part comes after: pulling the old price list, flagging a term that changed, deciding which version wins. That work doesn't come with any plan, and it weighs the most on the result. We walk through it in how to implement AI in a small business.
Until now, the usual way to set this up for a team was a custom GPT. Heads up: OpenAI is transitioning custom GPTs to “plugins” and says custom GPTs will be retired, on timelines that may differ by plan (OpenAI's migration guide, checked on November 12, 2026). Before you build anything on them, read our guide to custom GPTs vs agents.
Common mistakes when picking a plan
- Choosing on price. The gap between Plus and Business is zero to five dollars per person a month. The real gap is who keeps the work when somebody leaves.
- Paying for a year without testing a month. Annual billing is cheaper, but it locks you in. One month at the monthly price with three people tells you whether it gets used.
- Giving a seat to the whole staff on day one. Start with the people who write or answer every day, and add seats when the others ask.
- Assuming it already knows your business. Without current documents, the answers will be correct and generic.
Is ChatGPT Business worth it? When it isn't
If one person uses it, or two people now and then, an individual plan is plenty. It also doesn't pay off if nobody is going to manage it: a workspace with no owner ends up as six loose accounts on one bill.
And Flipa, what does it cost?
Flipa starts somewhere else: from your documents and your website. It answers showing the sources it consulted, and it says when it doesn't know something. And you pay per account, not per person: the Essential plan is $99/mo, plus applicable taxes, with 3 seats and 20,000 credits a month for the whole team, and for ten people there's the Team plan at $249/mo. You buy them by card, cancel anytime, and the Trial is free, no card needed. One more thing a US team should know up front: the app's interface is in Spanish for now, and English isn't available yet, though the assistant answers in the language you write in. The plans, with what each one includes, are on the pricing page, and the day-to-day differences are in the comparison with ChatGPT.

Checked on November 12, 2026. Prices and plan contents come from these two OpenAI pages, read that day:
- ChatGPT pricing page: which plans exist, which can be billed monthly or annually, the Business minimum, and invoicing for Enterprise.
- Pricing table in the ChatGPT documentation: the amounts in US dollars and what each plan adds.
For everything else (payment details, seat types, file limits), the reference is the OpenAI help center. We don't quote it as fact because we couldn't verify it that day: check it before you buy.

What to check besides ChatGPT for business pricing
Five things worth having answered before you enter a card number.
| What to check | The question to ask yourself | What OpenAI says today |
|---|---|---|
| Account administration | Who adds and removes people? What happens to the work of someone who leaves? | Business and Enterprise come with a workspace and admin controls. Individual plans don't. |
| Data use | Is what we type used to improve the models? | Business: no training on business data by default, per its price table. On individual plans it depends on each account's settings. |
| Usage limits | How many messages, files and long jobs fit in a seat? | They change often. Check the pricing page the day you buy. |
| Connectors | Which of our tools can it work with, and who authorizes that? | It depends on the plan and on what the admin turns on. Check OpenAI's help center for your case. |
| Payment and support | Card or invoice? Who do I talk to if it breaks? | Business is bought directly on the site. Enterprise goes through sales, and its pricing page mentions invoicing. Ask about payment methods before you buy. |

What people ask before they buy
How much does ChatGPT Business cost per user?
ChatGPT Business costs $20 per user per month billed annually, or $25 billed monthly, starting at two users. ChatGPT Enterprise has no published price: you have to ask sales. Those are the amounts OpenAI publishes, checked on November 12, 2026.
What's the difference between ChatGPT Business and Enterprise?
Business is self-serve, with a public price. Enterprise is negotiated with sales and adds automated account setup and removal, audit logs, and controls over how long data is kept and in which region. If nobody is asking you for those controls, Business is the plan to look at.
Is ChatGPT Business the same as ChatGPT Team?
It's the team plan under another name: OpenAI's pricing pages only list Business now. OpenAI explains the details of the change in its help center. The price that counts is the one published today, not the one you remember from Team.
Is there a minimum number of users for ChatGPT Business?
Two, per OpenAI's pricing page, checked on November 12, 2026. For Enterprise, OpenAI doesn't publish a minimum: you talk to sales.
Can you pay for ChatGPT Business by invoice?
OpenAI's pricing page lists invoicing as a payment option for Enterprise, which you buy through sales. For Business, which you buy directly on the site, we couldn't confirm invoicing on a page we can cite. If you need to pay against an invoice, ask OpenAI before you buy. Checked on November 12, 2026.
Is ChatGPT Business worth it for a small company?
It is when several people use it every week and somebody will manage the workspace: you get one bill, shared administration, and the work stays with the company. For one person, or two occasional ones, an individual plan is enough.

First the plan, then the price
- Pick a plan by size and control: who manages the accounts and what happens to the work of someone who leaves.
- The amount: always on OpenAI's site, on the day you buy.
- Ask yourself whether what you're missing is a plan or an assistant that knows your company.
