The Claim

ChatGPT Plus has cost US$20 per month since February 2023 and has not had a price increase.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

Available evidence indicates the U.S. ChatGPT Plus list price has remained $20 per month from its February 2023 launch through mid-2026. OpenAI’s own launch and pricing pages support that figure, and multiple independent reports describe it as unchanged. The only contrary material refers to regional charges or speculation, not an official U.S. price increase.

Caveats

  • OpenAI does not publish a detailed public price-history log, so the conclusion relies on launch records, current pricing pages, and consistent secondary reporting.
  • This supports the U.S. list price only; taxes, exchange rates, bank fees, app-store billing, or non-U.S. regional pricing can make users pay more.
  • The claim should not be read as covering other ChatGPT plans such as Pro, Team, or Enterprise, which have separate pricing histories.
