Premium seats are coming to ChatGPT Business
OpenAI has introduced Premium seats for ChatGPT Business, offering expanded capacity and flexibility for active users. The new tier provides five times more usage and removes the five-hour limit for $125 per user monthly or $100 annually. Workspaces can mix Standard and Premium seats as needed.

The work that moves your business forward should never have to stop.
Teams are using ChatGPT to take on bigger things: organizing inventory, building marketing campaigns, analyzing business performance, improving customer experiences, and developing new products. As that work becomes more ambitious, our top request from ChatGPT Business customers has been an expanded seat option with more capacity and usage built in.
Real-World Use Cases & Applications
Business owners can turn sales reports, customer feedback, and inventory data into an operating plan. Marketers can build whole campaigns from customer insights. Developers can use Codex to build, test, and improve features across larger codebases. Premium seats unlock added productivity so your team never breaks their flow.
Deployment & Availability
Some customers who sign up may also be selected for early access before general availability.
Strategic Perspective & Ecosystem Impact
That’s why we’re introducing Premium seats for ChatGPT Business. Premium gives your most active teammates 5x more usage than Standard seats and removes the five-hour usage limit, so they can take on larger projects and work with fewer interruptions—all within the same secure Business workspace.
Premium seats cost $125 per user per month, or $100 per user per month when billed annually. Standard seats remain $25 per user per month, or $20 per user per month when billed annually. You can mix both seat types in the same workspace and choose the right option for each person on your team.
And for a limited time, eligible workspace owners who sign up early will receive $100 worth of workspace credits (2,500 credits) for every Premium seat they add, up to $500 for five seats . Some customers may also receive early access before Premium becomes generally available, as a bonus for signing up now.
Why it matters
This release highlights how AI providers are tailoring subscription models for enterprise customers by introducing tiered capacity options. It addresses heavy enterprise usage demands within secure, unified workspaces.
