ChatGPT Enterprise is the enterprise subscription tier of ChatGPT, the conversational artificial intelligence product developed by OpenAI. Announced on August 28, 2023, it was OpenAI's first business-focused edition of ChatGPT, designed for organizations that wanted the product's capabilities together with administrative controls, security commitments, and data-handling guarantees suited to corporate use.[1][2] At launch it offered unlimited high-speed access to GPT-4, an expanded context window, unlimited Advanced Data Analysis (the feature formerly called Code Interpreter), an admin console, and a promise that OpenAI would not train its models on customer business data. ChatGPT Enterprise sits above the consumer Plus and Pro tiers and the smaller-business ChatGPT Team plan, and it is distinct from the education-focused ChatGPT Edu offering.
OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Enterprise nine months after the November 2022 public debut of ChatGPT, describing it as the company's biggest product announcement since ChatGPT itself.[3] The launch responded to rapid uptake of ChatGPT inside workplaces, where employees had begun using the consumer product without the security, privacy, and administrative features that companies typically require. ChatGPT Enterprise packaged enterprise-grade controls around the same underlying models, aiming to give organizations a sanctioned way to deploy the tool at scale.[1]
The product was positioned for whole-company or large-team deployments. OpenAI named several early customers at launch, including Block, Canva, Carlyle, The Estée Lauder Companies, PwC, and Zapier, describing how they used ChatGPT to draft communications, accelerate coding, explore complex business questions, and assist with creative work.[1] OpenAI also signaled that smaller, self-service plans and additional customization features would follow, foreshadowing the later ChatGPT Team tier.[2]
ChatGPT Enterprise's launch feature set centered on removing the limits of the consumer product while adding administrative tooling. The core capabilities announced on August 28, 2023 are summarized below.[1][2]
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| GPT-4 access | Unlimited access to GPT-4 with no usage caps, delivered at up to twice the speed of standard GPT-4 |
| Context window | A 32,000-token context window (roughly 25,000 words), about four times longer than the standard GPT-4 context at the time |
| Advanced Data Analysis | Unlimited use of Advanced Data Analysis, the feature previously known as Code Interpreter, for working with uploaded files |
| Conversation templates | Shareable conversation templates so employees could build and reuse internal workflows |
| API credits | Credits for OpenAI's API platform, allowing companies to build custom ChatGPT-powered tools |
| Admin console | A console for managing organizational use, including single sign-on, domain verification, and a usage-statistics dashboard |
| Data handling | A commitment that business data and conversations would not be used to train OpenAI's models |
The 32,000-token window let users submit substantially longer documents and prompts than the consumer tier supported. Advanced Data Analysis allowed ChatGPT to run code in a sandboxed environment to parse spreadsheets, generate charts, and perform quantitative work on files uploaded by employees.[1] The API credits were intended for organizations that wanted to extend beyond the chat interface and integrate OpenAI models directly into their own software.[2]
Security and data ownership were central to the ChatGPT Enterprise pitch. OpenAI stated that it would not train its models on business data sent to ChatGPT Enterprise or on any usage data from the product, and that customers retained ownership and control of their inputs and outputs.[1][4] OpenAI also said that all conversations with ChatGPT Enterprise are encrypted in transit and at rest.[1][5]
At launch the company reported that ChatGPT Enterprise was SOC 2 compliant, an attestation standard for how service providers manage customer data.[1][5] The admin console supported single sign-on (SSO) and domain verification, giving information-technology administrators centralized control over which employees could access the product and how. The accompanying analytics dashboard provided visibility into organizational usage.[1] These data-handling commitments distinguished the enterprise tier from the consumer ChatGPT product, where, by default, conversations could be used to improve OpenAI's models unless a user opted out.
OpenAI did not publish a per-seat price for ChatGPT Enterprise at launch, stating that pricing would depend on each company's usage and use cases and directing interested organizations to contact its sales team.[2] The product was therefore sold through custom contracts rather than self-service signup.
Although OpenAI never released an official public price, press reporting later cited approximate figures. In January 2024, TechCrunch reported that ChatGPT Enterprise cost as much as $60 per user per month, with a minimum of 150 users and a 12-month contract.[6] Those figures were attributed to reporting rather than to an official OpenAI rate card, and actual terms varied by customer.
The table below compares ChatGPT Enterprise with the Team and Plus tiers as they were positioned in early 2024. Team launched on January 10, 2024 as a self-service plan for smaller organizations, sitting between the consumer Plus subscription and Enterprise.[6][7]
| Plan | Approximate price | Intended audience | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plus | $20 per month | Individual consumers | Single-user subscription with priority access to OpenAI's latest models |
| Team | $30 per user per month, or $25 per user per month billed annually | Small and mid-sized teams (up to 149 users) | Shared workspace and admin tools; no training on team data |
| Enterprise | Custom; reported at up to $60 per user per month with a 150-user minimum and 12-month contract | Large organizations | Expanded context window, admin console, SOC 2 compliance, and API credits |
ChatGPT Enterprise grew quickly after launch. In January 2024, OpenAI Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap disclosed that the company had signed up 260 business customers for the enterprise version, and that those organizations had more than 150,000 employees registered to use it.[8][9] OpenAI cited interest from across financial services, consulting, technology, consumer goods, and other sectors.
The product was part of OpenAI's broader push into the corporate market. In November 2025, OpenAI announced that more than one million business customers worldwide were paying for its products, a figure that spanned its full slate of business offerings, including ChatGPT for Work and direct use of its developer platform, rather than ChatGPT Enterprise alone.[10][11] In the same announcement OpenAI said that ChatGPT for Work had surpassed seven million seats and that ChatGPT Enterprise seats specifically had grown roughly ninefold.[10]
OpenAI expanded ChatGPT Enterprise repeatedly after its 2023 debut, adding compliance, administrative, and integration capabilities.
On July 18, 2024, OpenAI announced new compliance and administrative tools, headlined by an Enterprise Compliance API.[12][13] The API gave organizations in regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, legal services, and government a programmatic record of time-stamped interactions, including conversations, uploaded files, workspace GPT configurations, and user metadata, to support logging and audit requirements. OpenAI launched the API alongside integrations built with leading eDiscovery and data-loss-prevention (DLP) vendors.[12][13] Over time, security and compliance providers including CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, and Microsoft Purview announced integrations with the Compliance API.[14]
OpenAI also added administrative controls over GPTs (custom, configurable versions of ChatGPT) for enterprise workspaces, including the ability for administrators to approve specific domains for GPT actions, and it broadened the set of connectors and integrations available to enterprise customers.[12] The data-residency, customer-managed encryption key, and identity-management options available to enterprise customers likewise expanded over time as the offering matured.
The January 2024 introduction of ChatGPT Team created a lower-cost, self-service plan positioned beneath Enterprise for smaller organizations, while ChatGPT Enterprise remained OpenAI's top business tier for large-scale deployments.[6][7]
