Introducing Premium seats for ChatGPT Business. Premium seats cost $100 per user per month when billed annually, or $125 per user per month when billed monthly. Premium includes 5x more usage than Standard seats, no 5-hour usage limit, and the flexibility to mix, assign, and reassign seat types – all within one secure, centrally managed workspace.

Additionally, we’ve updated the way seats are used in ChatGPT Business. You can purchase Standard or Premium seats to allocate capacity for your workspace, and then assign them to different users, as needed. You can also switch users across seats, add capacity, or remove capacity.

Overview

ChatGPT Business is a self-serve plan designed for organizations that want a shared ChatGPT workspace for their teams. Read more about ChatGPT Business in our overview article.

You can start your Business account with standard or premium ChatGPT seats. When you create a new Business account, you must add at least two paid seats. For example, one standard seat and one premium seat satisfy this minimum. During checkout you can select monthly billing or an annual plan, along with an initial number of seats.

When you sign up for ChatGPT Business, you will get access to a ChatGPT Business workspace and the owner role. Read our article on managing workspaces, including workspace roles, inviting members, and other workspace settings.

After completing your purchase and logging into your workspace, you can invite teammates, by role and seat type.

Note: ChatGPT Business workspaces created before June 24, 2026 had access to a specific legacy Codex seat type. This is not applicable to any workspaces that did not add this seat type before this date. To learn more, review our article Managing legacy Codex seats in ChatGPT Business.

Choose paid seat capacity

During ChatGPT Business signup, choose the initial paid ChatGPT seat capacity and billing cadence shown at checkout. Standard seats are $20 per month billed annually, or $25 per month billed monthly, with Premium seats costing $100 per month billed annually, or $125 per month billed monthly.

After signup, Workspace Owners can add mixed paid seat capacity from Workspace settings > Billing and assign seats from Workspace settings > Members. New capacity and upgrades are charged immediately on a prorated basis after confirmation.

A minimum of two paid Standard and Premium seats is required, and both seat types count toward the 200-seat limit. Review your seat types, billing cadence, and total before confirming your purchase.
