ChatGPT plans explained: Free, Go, Plus and Pro
Go is the cheapest paid tier, but it may show ads and doesn't include the advanced reasoning models. Plus unlocks GPT-6.1 Sol, GPT-6 Astra, Codex and ChatGPT Work. Pro comes in three monthly-only tiers. Only Pro 500 includes Ultrafast mode, and new Pro 200 subscribers get a lower allowance than before.
