ChatGPT could soon get a paid Premium version with faster responses

To sign up, you’d have to complete a Google form asking various questions about what you’d expect from the premium version, mostly revolving around the pricing. One of the questions goes: “At what price (per month) would you consider ChatGPT to be a bargain—a great buy for the money?” It’s possible that ChatGPT could arrive at a price for the subscription based on user feedback.

OpenAI also clearly states that if you’re selected, it will “reach out to you to set up a payment process and a pilot.” Currently, there are no plans to make the premium version available to the general public.

A recent analysis had shown how OpenAI could be spending at least $100K per day or $3 million per month on running costs, so this move isn’t very surprising. The company’s other hugely popular product – Dall-E – already charges for additional credits after the very limited free amount runs out, so a monetised ChatGPT was only inevitable.

OpenAI hasn’t yet specified what ChatGPT Professional may cost and when it will be made available.
