OpenAI Launches Premium Seats for ChatGPT Business
OpenAI is introducing Premium seats for ChatGPT Business, a higher-capacity account tier that lets teams give their heaviest users significantly more usage without moving the whole workspace to a more expensive plan.
Details
- What Premium seats add: Roughly 5x more usage than Standard seats, removal of the five-hour rolling usage limit, and predictable weekly usage resets instead of usage-based throttling
- Pricing: Premium seats cost $125/month per user (or $100/month billed annually), compared with $25/month per user (or $20/month annually) for Standard seats
- Mixed-tier workspaces: Businesses can assign Premium seats only to their heaviest users โ for example, people building marketing campaigns, analyzing business performance, or developing new products โ while keeping everyone else on Standard seats within the same secure workspace
- Extra capacity option: Workspaces can also add shared workspace credits on top of seat allocations for additional headroom
- Launch promotion: For the first 10,000 eligible customers, OpenAI is offering $100 worth of workspace credits (2,500 credits) for every Premium seat added, up to $500 across five seats; the offer runs through August 20, and some early subscribers get advance access ahead of general availability
How to try it
ChatGPT Business admins can add Premium seats for specific users directly from their workspace admin settings, mixing Premium and Standard seats as needed. The introductory credit promotion is available only for a limited window and to a capped number of customers, so businesses that want the bonus credits need to enroll before August 20.
