OpenAI’s Corporate ChatGPT Version Reaches 1 Million Paid Users

About a year ago, Open AI released the ChatGPT Enterprise plan for corporate users that offers additional security and privacy features. A few months later, they launched ChatGPT Team for smaller businesses, followed by ChatGPT EDU for students and universities. Those three services have brought the number of paid users to 1 million, up from the 600,000 last reported in April 2024.

Why it matters: While ChatGPT has a free plan that anyone can use, the paid tiers provide OpenAI with a regular income stream. The monthly fee also helps the company offset infrastructure costs. Paying customers have access to newer models, are guaranteed faster response times, and have enhanced security features, most notably the ability to exclude their data from training future OpenAI models.
