**ChatGPT Team** is OpenAI's self-serve, multi-seat subscription plan for [ChatGPT](/wiki/chatgpt), built for small and medium-sized teams that want a shared workspace, an admin console, higher usage limits, and a default guarantee that their business data is not used to train OpenAI's models. Announced on January 10, 2024, it sits in price and capability between the individual [ChatGPT Plus](/wiki/chatgpt_plus) plan and the larger [ChatGPT Enterprise](/wiki/chatgpt_enterprise) offering, and it can be purchased directly on the [ChatGPT](/wiki/chatgpt) website with a minimum of two seats rather than through a sales contract. [1][2] [OpenAI](/wiki/openai) renamed the plan to ChatGPT Business on August 29, 2025, while keeping its core features and structure intact. [3]

## What is ChatGPT Team?

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. In its launch announcement, OpenAI stated that it "won't train models on your business data or conversations," and the company's data policy specifies that "by default, we do not train on any inputs or outputs from our products for business users, including ChatGPT Team, ChatGPT Enterprise, and the API." [1][9]

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]

## What features does ChatGPT Team include?

At launch, ChatGPT Team included the following capabilities: [1][2]

- **Advanced models.** Access to OpenAI's latest models, including [GPT-4](/wiki/gpt-4) and GPT-4 with Vision (which can interpret images as well as text), plus the GPT-4 Turbo family, with a 32,000-token context window. [4]
- **Image generation.** Use of DALL·E 3 for creating images from text prompts. [1][4]
- **Tools.** Advanced Data Analysis (the Python-based tool for analyzing files and data), file uploads, and web browsing. [1][4]
- **Higher message limits.** Usage caps on the most capable models that are higher than those of the Plus plan. [2]
- **Shared workspace.** A dedicated collaborative workspace where teammates can work in a common environment. [1]
- **Admin console.** Tools for adding and removing members, managing billing, and overseeing the workspace. [1][2]
- **Custom GPTs.** The ability to build custom versions of ChatGPT (GPTs) with no coding required and publish them privately to the team's workspace. The example OpenAI cited was a GPT that ingested a proprietary codebase to help developers check coding style. [1][2]
- **Data privacy.** A commitment that OpenAI does not train its models on team data or conversations by default. [1][2][9]

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 and tooling available to the plan were refreshed as OpenAI released newer systems, a pattern the company continued after the product was rebranded as ChatGPT Business. [3]

## What did OpenAI add to ChatGPT Team in 2025 and 2026?

The plan expanded well beyond its 2024 feature set. In June 2025, OpenAI added connectors and record mode to ChatGPT Team and Enterprise: connectors let members pull data from third-party tools such as Google Drive, Dropbox, SharePoint, Box, and OneDrive without leaving ChatGPT, while record mode records and transcribes meetings to assist with follow-up. [8] On August 7, 2025, GPT-5 became the default model in ChatGPT and was made available to Team accounts alongside Free, Plus, and Pro, with usage limits varying by plan. [10] By 2026, standard ChatGPT Business (formerly Team) seats included access to GPTs, Projects, Apps, Company Knowledge, ChatGPT Agent, Deep Research, and Codex. [6]

## How much does ChatGPT Team cost?

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 rates: under the ChatGPT Business name the plan was offered at about $25 per user per month billed monthly and about $20 per user per month billed annually, while the two-seat minimum for standard seats remained in place. [6]

## How is ChatGPT Team different from Plus, Enterprise, and Edu?

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 at launch | 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]

## When was ChatGPT Team renamed to ChatGPT Business?

OpenAI renamed ChatGPT Team to ChatGPT Business on August 29, 2025. The company described it as a name change only, intended to better communicate how customers use the product, and said that features, pricing, and limits remained the same at the time, with existing contracts and terms staying in effect. [3] Invoices and receipts subsequently listed ChatGPT Business in place of ChatGPT Team. [3]

## How was ChatGPT Team received and how has it grown?

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 June 2025, up from two million in February 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. [3] By November 5, 2025, OpenAI said more than one million business customers were paying for its products and that ChatGPT for Work (its umbrella for the Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans) had surpassed seven million seats, up 40 percent in two months, with Enterprise seats growing ninefold year over year.
