OpenAI plans to integrate advertisements into its widely-used free ChatGPT service, commencing U.S. testing shortly. This strategic move aims to establish new revenue streams, while paid subscription tiers will remain ad-free. Concurrently, the company is globally launching ChatGPT Go, an $8 monthly plan offering enhanced features beyond the free option.
OpenAI, the creator of the influential ChatGPT artificial intelligence model, has announced plans to introduce advertisements into its free service. The company stated it will begin testing these ads in the U.S. in the coming weeks.
This decision signals a significant step in OpenAI's efforts to diversify its revenue sources. High operational costs associated with developing and running advanced AI models necessitate robust financial strategies. Paid subscription tiers, including ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise, will continue to offer an ad-free experience to their users, with prices starting at $20 per month.
Ads will be clearly labeled and positioned at the bottom of ChatGPT's responses, designed to be distinct from the chatbot's output. OpenAI assured that these advertisements will not influence the model's answers to user queries. During the testing phase, ads will be withheld from users presumed to be under 18 years old. Furthermore, advertisements will be excluded from content related to sensitive topics such as health, mental health, and politics.
OpenAI also announced the global availability of its new ChatGPT Go subscription. Priced at $8 per month, this tier is positioned between the free offering and the more premium ChatGPT Plus. It promises expanded access to OpenAI's latest model, GPT-5.2 Instant, offering more messages, uploads, and image creation capabilities.
The integration of ads follows similar monetization strategies employed by other AI chatbot services. Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity have already incorporated advertising or sponsored content. Notably, News Corp, publisher of Barron's, has pursued legal action against Perplexity AI for alleged copyright infringement, highlighting the evolving legal and business landscape for AI content.
