ChatGPT plan prices for business
ChatGPT Team was renamed ChatGPT Business, as the Business FAQ describes. We checked the Business prices in OpenAI's business price list.
Plus
$20
Per person a month. An individual account, with no company administration.
Business Standard
$20
Per seat with annual billing, $25 with monthly billing. Teams of 2 to 200 people.
Business Premium
$100
Per seat with annual billing, $125 with monthly billing. Five times more usage, no 5-hour limit.
Enterprise
after a call
SCIM, your own encryption keys, data residency in 10 regions, invoices and contracts.
Standard and Premium include ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work and Codex, and the seats can be mixed in one workspace. The API is billed separately.
A Premium seat costs five times more than Standard and gives five times more usage, with no 5-hour limit. It pays off for people who work with ChatGPT all day or use Codex on code. The rest of the team usually fits in Standard. Business Premium also includes dots, OpenAI's always-on agent, which in Poland is not available on the individual plan.
What a company workspace changes
Refunding an employee for Plus creates no company administration. Business lets you manage users and seats, sign in through SSO and set spending controls. OpenAI states that by default it does not train models on business data (enterprise privacy).
- Practise adding an employee, changing a role and removing access
- Check whether removing a member reduces the number of paid seats
- Settle which app connections are allowed
- Write down the rules for working with data in an AI policy
When to look at ChatGPT Enterprise
Start with the requirements you can check at acceptance. SCIM, the automatic creation and removal of accounts from the company directory, is available in Enterprise and missing from Business. The same goes for roles with permissions, your own encryption keys and data residency. A list of the limits is in the admin documentation.
The budget and the payback on licences
| Team | Business Standard, monthly billing | Business Standard, a year |
|---|---|---|
| 10 people | $250 a month | $2,400 |
| 50 people | $1,250 a month | $12,000 |
- Licences, monthly billing
- $250 (€223)
- Each saves 2 h a week
- 10 × 2 × 4.33 = 86.6 h
- Value of that time
- 86.6 h × €34.90 = €3,022
Left after licences
€2,799 a month
Two hours a week is the scenario's assumption. In the study published in Science, writing tasks with ChatGPT took 40% less time. €34.90 an hour is the EU average hourly labour cost for 2025 according to Eurostat. Converted at the ECB rate of 1.1205 USD per euro on 22 October 2026. At this result a €1,150 rollout pays back in 0.4 months.
Add the rollout and the learning time to the budget. Buying a seat will not prepare materials or settle who approves the result. We break these items down in the ChatGPT rollout cost calculation, and measuring the effect in the article on the ChatGPT pilot.
How to decide
One person tries AI on approved materials
Plus
$20
The team works together and needs SSO and administration
Business Standard
$20–25
A few people work with ChatGPT all day
Business Premium for those people
$100–125
IT requires SCIM, encryption keys or data residency
Enterprise
after a call
The result has to land automatically in another system
API and integration
from €3,000
Choosing the plan, the accounts and training the team are covered by the ChatGPT rollout for your team from €1,150 net, paid once. You buy licences directly from OpenAI. When the result has to land in another system, see the article subscription or API.
Worked example · Scenario
How we count the payback: a team in ChatGPT or Claude
We run the same count in the free analysis: the team's tasks, the time, the licences.
€4,534
a month for finding agreements and handing over cases in a team of 10
Payback: 1 mo.
3 hours a week per person for finding agreements and handing over cases is our assumption. A 30% cut sits within the range of controlled studies (MIT: 40%, Harvard and BCG: 25%). €34.90 an hour is the EU average hourly labour cost for 2025 according to Eurostat, for companies with 10 or more employees. Licence: ChatGPT Business or Claude Team at 20 USD per person a month on annual billing, about €17.85 at the ECB rate of 1.1205 USD per euro on 22 October 2026. Rollout: from €1,150 for up to 10 people, from €2,300 for 11 to 40 people.
