ChatGPT Team is a self-serve subscription plan for ChatGPT, the conversational artificial intelligence product from OpenAI. Announced on January 10, 2024, it was designed for small and medium-sized teams that wanted a shared workspace with administrative controls, sitting in price and capability between the individual ChatGPT Plus plan and the larger ChatGPT Enterprise offering. [1][2] OpenAI renamed the plan to ChatGPT Business on August 29, 2025, while keeping its core features and structure intact. [3]
OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Team to fill the gap between its consumer plan and its large-organization product. Enterprise, launched in August 2023, was sold through OpenAI's sales team, typically required a minimum of around 150 seats, and carried a twelve-month contract; the individual Plus plan, by contrast, covered only a single user. [2] ChatGPT Team was instead a self-serve plan that any small group could purchase directly through the ChatGPT website, with a minimum of two users and support for workspaces of up to 149 people. [1][2]
The plan gave every member of a workspace access to OpenAI's then-current advanced models, a collaborative environment for sharing work, and a set of admin tools for managing the group. As with Enterprise, OpenAI committed that it would not use a Team workspace's business data or conversations to train its models by default. [1][2]
Strategically, the launch addressed a segment that OpenAI's existing offerings had left uncovered. Many small businesses, departments, and project groups wanted the data protections, shared resources, and centralized billing of a managed plan but were too small to justify an Enterprise contract or too collaborative to rely on individual Plus subscriptions. By making the plan self-serve and setting the minimum at two seats, OpenAI let such groups adopt a managed version of ChatGPT in minutes rather than through a sales process. [1][2]
At launch, ChatGPT Team included the following capabilities: [1][2]
The launch coincided with the debut of the GPT Store, OpenAI's marketplace for custom GPTs, which became available to Plus, Team, and Enterprise subscribers on the same day. [1][5]
Over time the model lineup available to the plan was refreshed as OpenAI released newer systems, a pattern the company continued after the product was rebranded as ChatGPT Business. [3]
ChatGPT Team launched with two billing options, both charged per user. [1][2]
| Billing option | Price at launch (per user per month) |
|---|---|
| Monthly | About $30 |
| Annual | About $25 |
A workspace required a minimum of two paid seats. [1][2] The plan's pricing remained stable through the August 2025 rename to ChatGPT Business. [3] OpenAI later reduced the annual rate; by 2026 the plan was offered at a lower per-seat price under the ChatGPT Business name. [6]
ChatGPT Team occupied the middle of OpenAI's lineup of paid ChatGPT plans. The table below summarizes how it compared to the neighboring tiers as described at and shortly after its launch. [1][2]
| Attribute | ChatGPT Plus | ChatGPT Team | ChatGPT Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|
| Audience | Individuals | Small and medium teams | Large organizations |
| Price (per user per month) | About $20 | About $30 monthly / $25 annual | Custom (reported starting around $60) |
| Minimum seats | 1 | 2 | About 150 |
| Purchasing | Self-serve | Self-serve | Sales contract (about 12 months) |
| Shared workspace and admin console | No | Yes | Yes |
| Message limits on top models | Standard | Higher than Plus | Highest (unlimited high-speed access) |
| Training on your data | Used unless opted out | Not used by default | Not used |
| Enterprise SSO and SCIM | No | No | Yes |
Plus, priced at about $20 per month, was a single-user plan without the shared workspace or admin tooling. [2] Enterprise added enterprise-grade administration, single sign-on (SAML SSO), SCIM provisioning, domain verification, expanded context windows, and the highest usage limits, but was sold through OpenAI's sales team under a contract. [2]
A fourth business-oriented tier, ChatGPT Edu, was announced in May 2024 for colleges and universities. Powered by GPT-4o, it offered Enterprise-style security and privacy controls at pricing aimed at educational institutions, distinguishing it from the general-purpose Team plan. [7]
Coverage of the launch framed ChatGPT Team as OpenAI's move to capture the small-business and team market that sat between individual subscribers and large enterprise customers. TechCrunch described it as a subscription "aimed at small teams," noting that it lowered the barrier to multi-seat ChatGPT use by removing the large minimum-seat counts and contract commitments associated with Enterprise. [2]
The launch arrived as workplace adoption of ChatGPT was expanding. Commentators highlighted the no-code custom GPTs and the shared workspace as the plan's main draws for teams that wanted to standardize how colleagues used the assistant. OpenAI later reported rapid growth in paying business users across its Team, Enterprise, and Edu products, reaching three million paying business users by mid-2025. [8] In August 2025 OpenAI rebranded ChatGPT Team as ChatGPT Business, a change the company said was intended to communicate the product's purpose more clearly while preserving its self-serve model, shared workspace, and data-privacy commitments.
