Where OpenAI's own pages disagree

We found these while checking. Until the pages agree, assume the less generous version.

  • ChatGPTWhich model Free and Go get: the pricing page and the October 7 release notes say GPT-6 Luna, but two help articles still say GPT-5.6 Luna. Pages: chatgpt.com, help.openai.com
  • ChatGPTCustom GPTs: the pricing cards still list them for Go, Plus and Pro, but the help center says personal accounts can't create new GPTs, and OpenAI plans to retire them. Pages: chatgpt.com, help.openai.com

How we check

Every price and feature comes from the company's own pricing page, help center or release notes, never from other sites. A routine re-reads those pages every day; when something changes we update the plan, date it and add it to the list above. Prices are US list prices in US dollars, before tax, on monthly billing unless a yearly price is shown.

Nobody pays to be on this page. See every company side by side on our AI chatbot pricing comparison.

Which ChatGPT plan should you get?

  • Free has unlimited everyday text chats (with abuse guardrails) and limited uploads, images, voice and deep research. It may show ads.
  • Go ($8 a month) raises those limits and adds longer memory, projects and tasks. It may also show ads. See our ChatGPT Go guide.
  • Plus ($20 a month) adds advanced reasoning with GPT-6, expanded deep research, scheduled tasks and ChatGPT Work on every device, with no ads.
  • Pro ($100, $200 or $500 a month) comes in three usage tiers, with Pro reasoning, longer Codex and ChatGPT Work sessions, and Dot, OpenAI’s always-on agent. Only Pro 500 includes Ultrafast.
