OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Plus Paid Version, Promises Faster Response!

JAKARTA - After weeks of testing, OpenAI finally launched a paid chatbot version, ChatGPT Plus, of course, along with new features.

While many people can still use the free version of the chatbot, of course, there are some superior features on the ChatGPT Plus plan.

"We love our free users and will continue to offer free access to ChatGPT. By offering this subscription price, we can help support the availability of free access to as many people as possible," said OpenAI in a blog upload, quoted Thursday, February 2.

ChatGPT Plus is only available to customers in the United States in a trial version, and they'll begin the process of inviting people from the waitlist over the coming weeks.

Apart from that, there is also a separate waiting list for another offering, OpenAI plans to launch specifically for developers called ChatGPT API.

The company added that they are actively exploring options for low-cost packages, business packages, and data packages which will be available more in the future.
