GPT-5.6 Sol

GPT-5.6 Terra

Balances intelligence and cost.

GPT-5.6 Luna

For cost-sensitive, high-volume workloads.

FAQ

Is ChatGPT available for free?

Yes. A permanently free plan is published, not a time-limited trial. Limited access to models, uploads, data analysis, images, voice and deep research

Where is the vendor of ChatGPT based?

OpenAI OpCo, LLC is based in the USA. Regardless of that location, data processing and privacy terms are governed by the vendor's own contract.

Is paying annually worth it for ChatGPT?

How is ChatGPT billed?

ChatGPT subscriptions and API usage are separate. Go, Plus and Pro bill monthly only. The help pages state there is no annual billing for these plans.

Business costs 20 USD/seat/month billed annually or 25 USD monthly. Enterprise is quote-only. All purchases are in USD. OpenAI bills in local currency in a limited set of countries only. Official pages describe access and limits as plan- and system-dependent, not fixed universal message or model quotas.
