That dollar figure is not a universal \u20ac20 base price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The difference becomes clearer at checkout: web billing and mobile app stores can show different local totals, and VAT may already be included or added separately. The country examples below distinguish illustrative tax calculations from the August 4 App Store price snapshots, so you can compare like with like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before subscribing, compare the final monthly charge on the web with the amount shown on your iPhone or Android device, using the same country and currency. Then decide whether you mainly need native ChatGPT tools or will also pay for Claude, Gemini and other AI services\u2014the cost of several subscriptions can matter more than a small checkout difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you use several model families, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glbgpt.com\/home?inviter=hub_content_home&amp;login=1\">GlobalGPT<\/a> brings GPT-6 Astra, Claude Opus 5.5 and Gemini 3.8 Flash into one workspace. Basic starts at $11.9 month to month or $5.8 per month with annual billing\u2014$69.60 for 12 months at that displayed rate\u2014with 12,000 credits issued monthly. It is a separate multi-model subscription, so you can compare its value with Plus without confusing the two plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img alt=\"\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"547\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.glbgpt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-4-1024x547.png\" alt=\"gpt-6 astra on globalgpt\n\" class=\"wp-image-18874\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.glbgpt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-4-1024x547.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.glbgpt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-4-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.glbgpt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-4-768x410.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.glbgpt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-4-1536x820.png 1536w, https:\/\/wp.glbgpt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-4-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/wp.glbgpt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-4-2048x1094.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3e41869c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.glbgpt.com\/home\/gpt-6-astra?inviter=hub_popup&amp;login=1\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(255,245,203) 0%,rgb(182,227,212) 24%,rgb(51,167,181) 100%)\"><strong>Try GPT Series on GlobalGPT<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\" style=\";width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:18px 0;width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:18px 0;width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:18px 0\"><thead><tr><th style=\";border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">Route<\/th><th style=\";border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">Billing owner<\/th><th style=\";border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">Currency and current price signal<\/th><th style=\";border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">Key point<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td style=\";border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\"><a href=\"https:\/\/help.openai.com\/en\/articles\/10421635-multicurrency-billing\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Web<\/a><\/td><td style=\";border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">OpenAI<\/td><td style=\";border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;border:1px solid #d8dee8;padding:10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top\">EUR (EEA), GBP (UK), CHF (Switzerland);
