What billing plans are available?
Two billing plans are available:
Flexible Plan (Monthly Subscription plan):
At the start of your billing month, you are charged for your baseline number of seats.
If you add extra seats above the baseline number during the month, those seats will be charged on a pro-rated basis immediately.
At the beginning of each subsequent billing period, you are charged based on the current number of seats for the upcoming month.
Note: Only the seats exceeding your baseline are pro-rated. If the number of seats is reduced below the baseline during the month, the baseline will adjust to your new reduced baseline at your next monthly invoice date. However, you will still be billed for the baseline number of seats for the current billing month.
Example: A user buys 10 seats at a monthly price of $30, totaling $300. On day 10, they add 3 seats, now totaling 13 seats. On the next invoice, they are charged for the extra seats for the days used, plus the new total seats count for the next month, making a total of $450.
13 seats * $30 monthly subscription price + 3 extra seats * 20 days used/30 days *$30 monthly subscription price = $390 + 60 = $450
Annual Plan (Annual Subscription plan, with true-ups calculated every month):
At the beginning of your billing year, you are charged for your baseline number of seats.
Throughout the year, if additional seats are added, they will be billed on a pro-rated basis at the end of each monthly true-up cycle. The charges for these additional seats will be reflected on the next invoice.
At the end of a monthly true-up cycle, you are charged for the extra seats above your baseline at a prorated annual rate, establishing a new baseline for the rest of the year.
True-ups: This process occurs monthly and involves reconciling the actual number of seats used with the number that has been billed. At the end of each month, the actual usage is calculated and invoices are issued for any additional usage above the baseline that was not previously billed.
Note: If you add 2x your current baseline or 20 seats in a month, you will get an instant invoice for a true-up even before the monthly cycle has been reached, resetting you to the new baseline. For example, if your baseline is 5 seats, but you add 10 users (which is 2x your baseline of 5), you will be sent an invoice immediately, and your baseline will be reset to 10. With a new baseline of 10, you could now add up to 20 seats.
Example: A user buys 5 seats at an annual price of $25 per seat, totaling $1,500. On day 10, they add 3 seats, now totaling 8 seats. On the next invoice, they are charged $875 total, covering the cost of the additional seats for the days used and the remainder of the year.
Invoice 1: 5 seats * $25 * 12 months = $1500
1st Monthly true-up cycle: 20 days used /30 days * 3 seats above baseline * $25 monthly subscription + 3 seats above baseline * $25 monthly subscription price * 11 months remaining in annual plan
The owner removes 2 users from a workspace on the 20th day of Month 2. Nothing changes in the billing process since it is below the baseline.
Can I test out ChatGPT Team?
Currently, we do not offer a trial period. However, you can opt for our flexible plan, which allows you to try out ChatGPT Team on a month-to-month basis.
How do I manage my Billing information?
Billing management is facilitated through the Billing Info tab on your Workspace Settings page and can only be viewed by Owners. Here, you can:
View past invoices for your Team workspace
Change your credit card details, update billing information, or cancel plan via the Manage plan button
See the next invoice date/amount
See the amount of seats currently in use and how many are over the baseline
If you are over the baseline of the number of seats you’ve purchased, your billing section will show how many seats will be set as the new baseline before the end
Can I request a VAT exemption?
If you are located in a region that levies VAT, you have an option to self-identify as a business and enter your Tax ID at checkout. This will automatically exempt your ChatGPT Team subscription purchase from VAT, a status that will apply to all future invoices as well.
Can I change my monthly subscription plan to an annual subscription plan, or vice versa?
ChatGPT Team Owners can change their billing schedule from monthly to annual, and vice versa. To update, navigate to your Billing workspace settings, click on Manage license, and select Billing schedule in the pop-up menu.
In the modal, select the billing schedule and click on Continue.
To complete the billing schedule update, select Confirm in the following page. Please take note of the next renewal date, which is when your billing schedule will update.
Please note that changes to billing cadence will not take effect until your next renewal. Refer to the following examples for more information:
Monthly to Annual example: Suppose today is July 8th 2024, and the Team monthly subscription renews on July 17th 2024. If a user changes it to annual cadence, the subscription will still renew on July 17th 2024, but expires on July 17th 2025 (annual) rather than on August 17th 2024 (monthly).
Annual to Monthly example: Suppose today is July 8th 2024, and the Team annual subscription renews on September 17th 2024. If a user change it to monthly, my subscription will still renew on September 17th 2024, but expiring October 17th 2024 (monthly) rather than September 17th 2025 (annual)
Can I reduce the number of seats on my plan?
When you create your ChatGPT Team plan, you'll be given the option to specify how many seats you want to purchase. If you find that you no longer need as many seats, you don't need to make any changes. Simply leave those seats unclaimed and we'll adjust your invoice at the end of the billing period, taking into account any unused licenses.
Is there an upper limit to the amount of seats I can purchase at a time for my ChatGPT Team workspace?
We currently enforce an upper limit of 999 seats per purchase.
