Open AI has just launched ChatGPT Go in India. It’s a plan priced at Rs. 399 a month which promises 10 times more usage than the free version of ChatGPT. OpenAI is testing this plan in India initially before rolling it out in other countries and regions in the future. The reason for introducing the plan in India is to test out not just affordability but also to access the demand. ChatGPT could be testing user interest in accessing AI without buying a premium plan.
Learn about ChatGPT Go, its interesting features, how it differs from ChatGPT Plus and what plan is right for you up ahead.
What is ChatGPT Go?
ChatGPT go is OpenAI’s first subscription plan which has only been launched in India. It can be considered as an intermediary service between the free version of ChatGPT and the premium version, ChatGPT Pro.
ChatGPT Go comes with a lot of new attractive features, one of which is the expanded access to GPT-5 which is OpenAI’s latest and most advanced model yet. The free plan of ChatGPT also offers limited access to GPT-5 however users would often hit the limit quickly. Hence, the ChatGPT go version was introduced for increased access to the newest model without breaking the bank.
Features of ChatGPT Go
1. GPT-5 Access
As mentioned above, ChatGPT Go gives users the access to GPT-5 with higher limits. The Go version comes with far more usage capacity. Wit ChatGPT Go users can send up to 10x more messages per day than the free version. Users can now enjoy more research, brainstorming and extended sessions with this feature.
2. Image generation File Uploads & Memory
ChatGO also expands the generative AI’s capacity to generate images using AI. According to Nick Turley, Head of ChatGPT, ChatGPT Go provides ten times more image generation as compared to the free tier. Similarly, the files can also be uploaded ten times more than the free tier.
ChatGPT go now also supports 2x longer memory than the free plan. This means it remembers context over longer conversation better and more consistently. This is particularly helpful for users frustrated by ChatGPT’s tendency to forget details.
3. Affordable Price
At just Rs 399/month, ChatGPT Go is five times cheaper than ChatGPT Plus. This makes it a great option for individuals who want access to premium AI tools but can’t stretch their budget.
4. Only available in India
India is the country where Chat GPT Go is currently available. OpenAI is testing the grounds for need of a low-cost tier among its users. According to OpenAI’s support page, “This subscription is initially available in India only. Other countries and regions may be eligible in the future.”
If the experimentation works well, the model might be expanded into the UK, US and Australia at slightly higher prices to match the regional pricing trends. India allows OpenAI to test the demand for such an affordable plan.
Features not Included:
While ChatGPT Go allows access to several premium features of ChatGPT, certain features like the GPT-4o model and Sora are not included in this plan. The GPT-4o model is one of the most popular models of ChatGPT and Sora is the company’ video-generation model which is also an in-demand feature.
Not including these features within ChatGPT Go makes business sense as these are exclusive available with the Plus and Pro plans. Excluding these also allows the company to create a clear divide between entry-level users and more premium users.
ChatGPT Go VS ChatGPT Plus: Key Differences
Apart from the Chat Go subscription plan, OpenAI also offers a premium plan known as ChatGPT Plus. The plus plan comes with a monthly fee of Rs 1,999. According to the company, Chat GPT Plus is designed for more advanced users. The Plus plan includes expanded access to thinking and legacy models like GPT 4.O and advanced tools like deep research, agent mode, and Sora (video creation tool).

ChatGPT Go Vs ChatGPT Plus- Which one to pick?
Many Indian users may now have to face the question of which model should they fit and what works best according to their needs. The ChatGPT Go plan is better suited for students, freelancers and casual users of the generative model. Meanwhile professionals and power users should opt for ChatGPT Plus.
Users who want to use AI without putting a hole in their wallets should opt for the ChatGPT Go model while users who require connectors, Sora and legacy model access (GPT-4o) SHOULD CHOOSE the plus plan.
The unlimited usage and full memory capacity of the plus plan makes it a better option for more serious users of ChatGPT. However, users who prefer UPI payments and local billing options might like Chat GPT Go better.
