OpenAI has launched a cheaper subscription tier for its popular AI chatbot ChatGPT, called ChatGPT Go. For just $8 per month, users can enjoy more messages, file uploads, and image generation than those on the free tier. The new pricing model is aimed at everyday users who want to tap into the power of AI without breaking the bank.
Go subscribers will have access to OpenAI's fast version of the latest AI model, GPT-5.2 Instant, which currently limits free users to 10 messages with the same model every five hours. In contrast, ChatGPT Go users will receive "10x" more messages with GPT-5.2, although the exact number is not specified.
The new tier also offers a greater context window for non-reasoning requests, currently at 16K for free users and 32K for those on the Plus subscription tier. However, the exact capacity of the context window for Go users remains unknown.
Another key difference between Go and the free tiers is ad pricing. OpenAI says it will start running ads in ChatGPT Go in the US soon, while Plus and higher-priced subscriptions remain ad-free.
The launch marks a significant expansion of ChatGPT's accessibility to everyday users worldwide. The AI chatbot has already been popular in India since its initial release last year, and its adoption has been strong across various markets.
