OpenAI has launched a new subscription plan in India called ChatGPT Go, priced at ₹399 per month. This is a country-specific, affordable plan positioned below the Plus subscription (₹1,999/month) and designed for users who want more than the free tier but at a lower cost than Plus or Pro.
Key Features of ChatGPT Go for India:
- 10x higher limits: You get ten times more messages, daily image generations, and file uploads compared to the free tier.
- Double memory length: ChatGPT Go offers twice the memory for more personalized and contextual responses.
- Powered by GPT-5: The plan features the latest GPT-5 model with better support for Indic languages.
- Convenient payment methods: Users can pay using UPI, India’s most popular digital payment method, or credit/debit card, with all prices displayed in Indian Rupees (INR).
- Available across platforms: Usable on web, iOS, Android, and desktop in India.
- No API credits included: API usage is not bundled into the Go plan.
Who is it for?
- Students, professionals, freelancers, and anyone who finds the free plan restrictive but doesn’t want a high-priced subscription.
- Designed specifically for the Indian market, which is ChatGPT’s second-largest user base.
Additional notes:
- The Go plan is rolling out in India first, with plans to expand to other countries based on feedback.
- Subscriptions now show in INR for all OpenAI plans in India for better clarity.
Comparison vs Free/Plus Plans:
| Plan | Price (INR/month) | Model | Messages/Image Gen/File Upload | Memory | Platform |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | ₹0 | GPT-4o/GPT-5 | Limited | Short | All |
| Go | ₹399 | GPT-5 | 10x higher than Free | 2x | All |
| Plus | ₹1,999 | GPT-4o | Unlimited/Plus Limits | Long | All |
OpenAI is using this as a pilot to improve affordability and accessibility, leveraging UPI and local currency for easier adoption. The response and feedback from Indian users will likely shape future releases in other regions.
