India is the first country where OpenAI is launching the ‘ChatGPT Go’ version before expanding to other countries.
OpenAI's ChatGPT, one of the world's most popular artificial intelligence chatbot, will now be available for India at a new affordable price of just ₹399 a month, announced the head of ChatGPT Nick Turley on Tuesday.
The new subscription tier is called ‘ChatGPT Go’, which the firm is rolling out in India first. Under this subscription, users will be able to access advance features such as 10x higher message limits, 10x more image generations, 10x more file uploads, and 2x longer memory as compared to ChatGPT's free version.
In a bid to make the subscription more accessible for users in India, the payments can be made through Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and the prices of the subscriptions will be visible to users in INR instead of any foreign currency.
With this new subscription, ChatGPT is now available for India in four tiers: the free plan with limited usage, ‘ChatGPT Go’ at Rs. 399, the Plus plan at ₹1,999, and the Pro plan at Rs. 19,999.
