Quick answer (prices checked 6 November 2026): ChatGPT has four personal plans in India: Free (₹0), Go (₹399/month), Plus (₹1,999/month) and Pro (from ₹10,699/month). These figures come from OpenAI’s own pricing page, viewed from India. For most people, Free or Go is enough. Plus makes sense if you use ChatGPT for work most days.
ChatGPT plans and price in India (2026)
| Plan | Price in India | Cost over 12 months | Pay with UPI? | Who it’s for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | ₹0 | ₹0 | Not needed | Casual users and students |
| Go | ₹399/month | ₹4,788 | Yes | Regular users who hit Free limits |
| Plus | ₹1,999/month | ₹23,988 | Yes | Daily work use, professionals, creators |
| Pro | From ₹10,699/month | From ₹1,28,388 | No | Heavy professional users |
How to read this table: the 12-month figure simply multiplies the monthly price by 12. OpenAI lists Go and Plus as monthly plans, so it is not an annual-plan price. The Pro figure uses the starting price only. OpenAI says to review the price and billing currency at checkout, so check the final amount there. We did not find a clear statement from OpenAI on whether the listed rupee price includes GST.
What you get in each ChatGPT plan
ChatGPT Free
Free includes unlimited everyday text chats, subject to OpenAI’s abuse guardrails. Uploads, image creation, voice chats, deep research and memory all have limits. OpenAI’s plan comparison also lists Study mode. Free suits occasional questions, homework help and simple writing.
ChatGPT Go (₹399/month)
Go gives you everything in Free, plus more messages with tools, more uploads, more image creation, more voice chats and longer memory. OpenAI says this plan may include ads, and that ads are being tested with eligible Go users in select regions. If you often reach your limits on Free, Go is the cheapest upgrade.
ChatGPT Plus (₹1,999/month)
Plus adds advanced reasoning models, expanded messages and uploads, more capable image creation, expanded deep research, and projects, scheduled tasks and custom GPTs. It suits people who use ChatGPT for work most days, such as writers, marketers, developers and consultants.
ChatGPT Pro (from ₹10,699/month)
Pro is for heavy professional use and now comes in three tiers. OpenAI’s help page lists them in US dollars as Pro 100 ($100), Pro 200 ($200) and Pro 500 ($500). Pro 200 includes more usage than Pro 100, and Pro 500 has the highest usage plus Ultrafast models.
The India pricing page we viewed shows only the starting price of ₹10,699. We could not confirm the rupee price of the two higher tiers without going to checkout. Older news reports listed ₹19,900 for a Pro plan, but that figure may not match the current tiers, so check before you upgrade.
Is ChatGPT Go still free in India?
Do not expect it to be free if you are signing up now. OpenAI’s pricing page lists Go at ₹399/month. Reports said the 12-month free Go offer for India closed to new sign-ups on 21 January 2026. We could not confirm that date on OpenAI’s site, because the link to its old India promotion article now opens its general ChatGPT Go article. If you claimed the offer earlier, check Settings > Billing in ChatGPT to see your own renewal date.
How to pay for ChatGPT in India
- Cards: OpenAI accepts credit and debit cards. Your bank may need to allow online payments.
- UPI: OpenAI says UPI is available for Go and Plus, but not for Pro.
