- Chatgpt Go is now available in India
- The budget subscription, which costs less than $ 5 /5 £ 5 could come to more countries soon
- Chatgpt will mean the start of more pay walls to access AI?
OPENAI has just launched a whole new level of budget subscription for Chatgpt, called Go.
Chatgpt Go has been the first time that the company has offered a subscription plan for less than Chatgpt plus $ 20 /20 £ per month, offering an option for users who need more than the free limited option, but do not want to pay high costs for more.
With any new subscription, there is a lot of information to sink your teeth, so we have gathered the five biggest things you need to know about Chatgpt Go.
1. It is only available in India (for now)
Chatgpt Go is currently only available in India. Wait, wait, before stopping reading, listen to me: Openai’s assistance page refers to the upcoming budget plan in other countries: “This subscription is initially available in India only. Other countries and regions can be eligible for the future. “”
I suspect that Optai is testing the waters before launching a budgetary plan in countries like Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom. In India, Chatgpt Go is at the price of 399 ₹ per month ($ 4.60). Since the Plan Plus costs 1,999 ₹ (approximately $ 23) per month, we can suspect a similar price if this plan was going to the west.
2. More, more, more
The main advantage of Chatgpt Go is higher rate limits, which, according to Chatgpt, known as Nick Turley, gives subscribers “more access to the most popular functionalities of Chatgpt”.
These include 10x higher message limits, 10x other generations of images and 10x more file downloads.
We have just launched Chatgpt Go in India, a new subscription level that gives users in India more access to our most popular features: 10x higher messages of messages, 10x other generations of images, 10x more file downloads and 2x longer memory compared to our free level. Everything for Rs. 399. 🇮🇳August 19, 2025
3. Best memory
In the announcement by Turley of the arrival of Chatgpt Go, he declared that the new level of subscription had “a 2x longer memory compared to the free level”, which means that those who pay the summits will have a more reliable chatgpt experience.
The addition of a longer memory is a big deal for those who want to increase the capacity of Chatgpt without spending a lot of money on Chatgpt plus.
4. No 4O access
Chatgpt plus subscribers have access to inherited models such as incredibly popular GPT-4O. Chatgpt Go subscribers, however, do not have access to ancient AI models and are rather limited to GPT-5.
In my opinion, this is a misstep of Openai, in particular given the backlash to the last GPT-5 model and the claim of users to return to 4O.
Limit 4o to Chatgpt Plus and pro subscribers are quite bad, but do not include it in the level of Go Chatgpt Go on a low budget looks like a misstep.
5. No Sora, no gmail
GPT-4O is not the only thing that is missing from Chatgpt Go. In fact, Chatgpt Go subscribers will also not have access to the OPENAI SoRA Video Generation Tool.
That’s not all either, GO subscribers cannot access connectors, which means that you will not be able to use Chatgpt with popular applications such as Gmail or Google Calendar.
A sign of what will happen?
Chatgpt Go could be locked by the region at the moment, but I would not be surprised to see the budget subscription arriving in more countries in the very close future.
I really fear that it is the beginning of the cat of the paid clause, even more than it is currently. I found that the free level of chatgpt becomes more and more limited, and by offering common ground as going between the free option and more, Openai hopes that more users will be ready to pay to access the AI.
You would better believe that if Chatgpt Go has succeeded in India, it will soon be available on the biggest markets. That said, I’m not sure it’s a good thing.
