OpenAI is positioning itself as a leader in generative AI for businesses, unveiling a new subscription tier called ChatGPT Team. This offering bridges the gap between the individual user subscription, ChatGPT Plus ($20 per month), and the enterprise plan for larger companies, ChatGPT Enterprise (variable pricing, reported at $60 per user per month).
The ChatGPT Team tier is priced at $30 per user per month, with a $5 monthly discount per user for annual billing. OpenAI shared the features of the service in advance, which include:
- Access to ChatGPT for enterprise teams
- Improved productivity and collaboration through innovative GPTs
- Secure and responsible integration of GPTs into internal operations
OpenAI has been conducting a quiet testing period with selected customers for ChatGPT Team. The feedback from early customers has been positive, emphasizing how ChatGPT has accelerated their processes and enabled them to operate at a higher level. SourceGraph’s VP of GTM Strategy & Operations, Connor O’Brien, shared, “We use ChatGPT in almost every part of our business, from financial modeling to internal and external communications, board prep, recruiting, and note-taking.”
Boston Children’s Hospital’s Chief Innovation Officer, Dr. John Brownstein, commented, “With ChatGPT Team, we’ve piloted innovative GPTs that enhance productivity and collaboration within our team. Integrating GPTs responsibly will have a transformative impact, empowering our doctors, researchers, students, and administrative staff to provide exceptional care to every patient.”
OpenAI also highlighted the adoption of ChatGPT Enterprise by Block, Canva, Carlyle, The Estée Lauder Companies, PwC, Zapier, and other companies. While competitors have introduced generative AI services that are model-agnostic or rely on open source models, OpenAI aims to position ChatGPT as the go-to choice for AI services.
As we enter the new year, the introduction of ChatGPT Team aligns with OpenAI’s strategy for expanding its product line and capturing a growing market of businesses seeking generative AI solutions.
