## Key takeaways

- As of November 3, 2026, OpenAI's pricing page lists ChatGPT Go at $8 a month, between Free at $0 and Plus at $20.
- The page gives no usage numbers for Go; its usage table covers only Plus and business plans.
- On the Codex pricing page Free and Go list the same model, GPT-6 Luna in the desktop app, while Plus adds web, CLI, IDE, iOS and cloud integrations.

ChatGPT Go is OpenAI's $8-a-month plan, sitting between Free at $0 and Plus at $20, according to OpenAI's [pricing page](https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/pricing) as of November 3, 2026. The page that spells out what Go gets is about Codex, OpenAI's coding tool, and it publishes no usage numbers for Go. So the honest answer on limits is that the official docs we could read give a price and a short description, not a cap.

## What ChatGPT Go costs

As of November 3, 2026, the plan cards on the pricing page list three personal tiers:

| Plan | Price per month | How OpenAI describes it for Codex |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Free | $0 | "Explore Codex capabilities on quick coding tasks." |
| Go | $8 | "Use Codex for lightweight coding tasks." |
| Plus | $20 | "Power a few focused coding sessions each week." |

The page also says ChatGPT Work and Codex are included in the Free, Go, Plus, Pro, Business, Edu and Enterprise plans. The page gives no regional prices, so $8 is the only figure, with no country attached.

## Go vs Free: what the docs show

On the Codex pricing page, Free and Go list the same single feature: GPT-6 Luna at Standard speed in the desktop app, subject to rollout. "Subject to rollout" means OpenAI gives no date for when everyone gets it.

The page lists no message counts for Free or Go. Its usage table covers Plus and the business plans only. It does say image generation isn't available on the Free plan, and it says nothing of the kind about Go. That is the only difference between the two we could confirm from the page, and it covers Codex, not the main ChatGPT chat window.

## Go vs Plus: what Plus adds

Plus costs $12 more a month than Go, and the page lists what it adds:

- Codex on the web, in the command line, in the IDE extension and on iOS.
- Cloud integrations such as automatic code review and Slack.
- GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Luna. The Codex pricing page also lists GPT-6.1 Terra for Plus.
- The option to extend usage with ChatGPT credits.

OpenAI estimates Plus users get 350 to 3,000 local messages per five-hour period on GPT-6 Luna, and 15 to 160 on GPT-6.1 Sol. These are "not fixed message limits", the page says. Local messages and cloud chats share one allowance, and weekly limits may also apply. For Go, no such table exists.

## What we don't know yet

The learn.chatgpt.com pages don't say how many chat messages, image generations, file uploads or voice minutes Go includes in the main ChatGPT app, whether Go shows ads, or whether the price differs by country. OpenAI's help center has separate pages on Go, but they could not be opened for this article, so nothing from them is stated here. Check the [pricing page](https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/pricing) before you pay, because plans and limits change.
