OpenAI ChatGPT Go Ads Launch and $8 Global Expansion
OpenAI starts testing ads in the ChatGPT app and rolls out the $8 ChatGPT Go plan worldwide. See how this revenue shift impacts you.
The 'last resort' has arrived. OpenAI just broke its long-standing taboo on advertising. On Friday, the company announced it's testing ads within the ChatGPT app for select US users, signaling a massive shift in how the AI giant plans to balance its books.
OpenAI ChatGPT Go Ads Launch: A Strategic U-Turn
This move represents a complete reversal for CEO Sam Altman. Back in 2024, Altman expressed concerns that ads could erode user trust. Now, in 2026, banner ads are set to appear for logged-in users of both the free tier and the newly global $8 per monthChatGPT Go plan.
ChatGPT Go Goes Worldwide
OpenAI originally soft-launched ChatGPT Go in India in August 2025. Following its success, the mid-tier plan is now available in over 170 countries. While Go and Free users will see ads, those subscribed to Plus, Pro, or Enterprise tiers remain unaffected and will continue to enjoy an ad-free experience.
