When ChatGPT first went live in November, everyone could use it for free. However, users occasionally experienced lengthy wait times as a result of its rapid rise in popularity. OpenAI therefore added a subscription plan to help some users bypass the wait and gain access to additional convenient features.
The subscription plan for ChatGPT is called ChatGPT Plus and costs $20 per month. Users are guaranteed general access and faster response times under the paid subscription model, even during peak times when the free version is at capacity.
OpenAI’s most recent updates, such as GPT-4, which is currently available to Plus subscribers, and ChatGPT plugins, which will prioritize Plus users upon rollout, are also available first to Plus plan subscribers.
How to Get a Subscription to ChatGPT Plus If you want to use ChatGPT more and see what the chatbot has to offer, this is the way to get a subscription to ChatGPT Plus.
- Create or sign into your OpenAI account
Visit ChatGPT login page. You can either sign in to your existing account or create a new one once you get there. You can use your email, Google, or Microsoft account to create a new account.
- Click on the ‘Upgrade to Plus’ button
After logging in, you will be taken to the chatbot’s main page, where you can typically begin chatting. Instead, look in the right-hand bar and look for the “Upgrade to Plus” text. When you locate the button, click it to proceed to the subsequent step.
- Click “Upgrade Plan” on pop-up
After clicking the “Upgrade to Plus” button, a pop-up window will appear asking you if you want to continue. After comparing the prices and features of the free and Plus plans, click the green “Upgrade plan” button if you are still willing to jump in.
