ChatGPT Plus is launching as a pilot program and will be available to customers in the US for $20 per month. OpenAI will be inviting people from its waitlist over the coming weeks, with broader availability in additional countries coming soon after.
The program is cheaper than some were expecting -- an early access user had shared a video of the paid version, revealing a subscription cost of $42 per month.
OpenAI said it will continue to offer a free version of ChatGPT. Additionally, the company said in a blog post: "We are actively exploring options for lower-cost plans, business plans, and data packs for more availability."
