Evidence status
OpenAI officially lists ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise. Free is $0; paid self-service plans are billed per user per month, while Enterprise pricing is sales-assisted. Exact localized prices were not consistently exposed by the official pricing page during verification, so no unverified amounts are reported.
Official sources checked 2026-08-25Open verification questions
- Exact US-dollar prices for Go, Plus, Pro, and Business were not reliably retrievable from the official dynamic pricing page during this check.
- Enterprise pricing requires contacting OpenAI sales.
Official OpenAI sources confirm consumer and business plan availability. OpenAI's terms state that, as between the user and OpenAI and to the extent permitted by applicable law, users retain Input ownership and own Output. OpenAI's data controls documentation should be consulted for consumer training controls; business products and the API are covered by separate business-data commitments.
Le Chat is now Mistral Vibe. Free plan available; Pro is $14.99/month excluding taxes; Team is $24.99/user/month excluding taxes; Enterprise pricing is custom.
Official sources checked 2026-08-25Open verification questions
- No blanket commercial-use conclusion was made for consumer subscriptions because the consumer terms limit access to personal use and direct business integrations to separate commercial terms.
- Taxes and final localized prices vary.
Official documentation confirms the rename to Vibe and three modes: Work, Code, and Chat. Free-plan conversations may be used to improve models with an opt-out; Pro, Team, and Enterprise conversations are not used for training by default. Connectors and uploaded library documents are not used for training. Consumer terms assign Mistral's rights in outputs to the user, but consumer access is expressly personal; business integrations and products distributed to third parties are directed to Mistral's commercial terms.
