ChatGPT Business Plan: Pricing, Features & What Teams Need to Know
ChatGPT Business is designed for organisations that need centralised management, security controls, and guaranteed data privacy. At $25/user/month on annual billing, it bridges the gap between individual Plus subscriptions and full Enterprise deployments. Here is everything you need to evaluate whether Business is right for your team.

What Business Includes
Everything in Plus
Every Business user gets full access to GPT-5, approximately 80 messages per 3 hours, 10 Deep Research runs per month, DALL-E image generation, Sora video, Agent Mode, Codex, custom GPT creation, and an ad-free experience. The individual feature set is identical to a Plus subscription, so your team members do not lose any capabilities by being on the Business plan instead of individual Plus accounts.
Admin Console
The admin console provides centralised user management, allowing administrators to add and remove team members, manage roles, monitor usage, and control access to features. You can see how your team uses ChatGPT, track adoption, and manage billing from a single dashboard. This visibility is essential for IT departments that need to govern AI tool usage across the organisation.
SAML SSO and MFA
Business supports SAML-based Single Sign-On integration with identity providers like Okta, Azure AD, and Google Workspace. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security. These features ensure that team access to ChatGPT is governed by your existing identity management policies, reducing shadow IT risk and simplifying onboarding and offboarding of team members.
60+ App Integrations
Business includes integrations with over 60 enterprise applications including Slack, Google Drive, SharePoint, GitHub, Notion, Jira, and Salesforce. These integrations allow team members to access ChatGPT capabilities directly within the tools they already use, reducing context-switching and increasing adoption. The integration ecosystem expanded significantly with the Team-to-Business rebrand in August 2025.
Data Privacy by Default
Business data is not used for model training by default. This is a critical distinction from individual plans where users must manually opt out of data training. For organisations handling proprietary information, client data, or intellectual property, this automatic protection provides necessary assurance that sensitive information shared with ChatGPT will not end up in future model training datasets.
Shared Workspace
The shared workspace allows team members to collaborate on custom GPTs, share conversation templates, and build shared knowledge bases. Teams can create specialised GPTs for common workflows (customer support, code review, content writing) and make them available to all members. This multiplies the value of custom GPTs by spreading development effort across the team rather than requiring each member to build their own.
Business vs Plus: What the Extra Cost Gets You
The difference between Business at $25/user/month and individual Plus subscriptions at $20/user/month is just $5/user/month on annual billing. For that $5 premium, you get admin controls, SSO, 60+ integrations, data training opt-out, shared workspace, centralised billing, and compliance features.
For any team of 5+ people, the administrative overhead of managing individual Plus subscriptions (tracking who has access, managing separate billing, ensuring data privacy settings are configured correctly) easily exceeds the $5/user premium. Business is the obvious choice for any organisation with multiple ChatGPT users.
On monthly billing, Business costs $30/user/month, which is a $10 premium over Plus. Annual billing at $25/user/month saves 17% and is recommended for any team committed to using ChatGPT for at least a year.
When to Upgrade to Enterprise
Stay on Business If
- Your team is under 150 users
- SAML SSO and basic admin controls are sufficient
- Standard data privacy (opt-out of training) meets your needs
- You do not require SCIM provisioning
- Standard support response times are acceptable
- You do not need data residency or custom retention policies
Consider Enterprise If
- You have 150+ users or plan to scale to that level
- You need SCIM provisioning for automated user management
- Regulatory requirements demand data residency controls
- You need custom data retention policies
- 24/7 priority SLA support is required
- You want dedicated AI advisors from OpenAI
