OpenAI has officially rolled out ChatGPT Go worldwide. This new, low-threshold paid subscription is positioned between the free version and ChatGPT Plus and is aimed at users and organizations that want more functionality without paying for a full premium plan. In the Netherlands and Belgium, ChatGPT Go costs €8 per month.
With this launch, OpenAI aims to make AI assistance more broadly accessible. The Go plan fills the gap between the limited free version and ChatGPT Plus (approximately €23 per month) and is now available in all 170 countries where ChatGPT operates. After an earlier test phase in India, ChatGPT Go quickly became one of OpenAI’s fastest-adopted subscriptions.
What is ChatGPT Go?
ChatGPT Go is OpenAI’s entry-level subscription for more intensive day-to-day use of ChatGPT. It includes everything available in the free version, but with significantly higher limits and additional features. Go users receive around ten times more messages, file uploads, and image generations than free users, allowing them to work longer without interruptions or forced downgrades to more limited models.
ChatGPT Go also includes:
- Access to the GPT-5.2 Instant model
- A larger context window for longer, more coherent conversations
- Image generation and advanced file analysis
- Advanced Data Analysis (Python support)
- Projects, tasks, and custom GPTs
API access is not included and remains a separate paid service.
OpenAI does not publish exact daily or monthly usage limits, but confirms that thresholds are substantially higher than the free tier and sufficient for regular professional use.
Differences between ChatGPT Go and ChatGPT Plus
ChatGPT Go is significantly more powerful than the free version, but less extensive than ChatGPT Plus. The differences mainly relate to depth, exclusive tools, and maximum usage capacity.
- Models and reasoning
ChatGPT Go provides access to GPT-5.2 Instant for fast, high-quality responses. Plus users additionally have access to more advanced reasoning models and legacy models such as GPT-4 variants. - Usage limits
Go offers generous limits for everyday use, while Plus provides even higher caps and a larger memory window for long-running, intensive sessions. - Advanced tools
Features such as the Codex agent for programming, the Sora video generator, and Agent Mode are exclusive to Plus and higher tiers. ChatGPT Go focuses on text, images, and data analysis without these premium extras. - Advertisements
OpenAI has announced plans to test advertisements in the free version and ChatGPT Go (initially in the US). Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise subscriptions remain ad-free.
In short, ChatGPT Go is ideal for daily professional use, while Plus and Pro are better suited for heavy, complex, or highly specialized workflows.
Who is ChatGPT Go for?
ChatGPT Go is particularly attractive to users who work with AI on a regular basis but do not need maximum capacity or niche tools. Typical use cases include:
- Freelancers and small business owners
- Marketing and communication professionals
- Students and educators
- Casual but frequent AI users
For writing, summarizing, brainstorming, learning, and analysis, Go provides more than enough capacity. Many Plus users do not fully utilize the premium features and could significantly reduce costs by switching to Go.
What does this mean for organizations?
For companies, ChatGPT Go lowers the barrier to adopting AI at scale. At €8 per user per month, it becomes realistic to provide multiple employees with access to an AI assistant for everyday tasks such as content creation, email support, research, and ideation.
That said, organizations should consider:
- Limitations for heavy programming or data-intensive tasks
- The absence of SLAs and centralized admin tools
- The potential presence of ads in the interface
For mission-critical or privacy-sensitive applications, ChatGPT Business or Enterprise may be more appropriate. However, for creative and supportive work, ChatGPT Go offers strong value at a low cost.
Conclusion
With ChatGPT Go, OpenAI takes a clear step toward the democratization of AI. The subscription combines powerful core functionality with an accessible price point, making AI assistance available to a much broader audience of users and organizations. For €8 per month, users get a capable AI assistant without paying for features they may never use.
