plus-refresh-status wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sora status:<\/strong> OpenAI\u2019s Sora web and app ended on April 26, 2026; the Sora API ended on September 24, 2026. <a href=\"https:\/\/help.openai.com\/en\/articles\/20001152-what-to-know-about-the-sora-discontinuation\">OpenAI\u2019s discontinuation guide<\/a> explains the change. GlobalGPT\u2019s Sora listing is a separate platform offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"plus-refresh-text wp-block-paragraph plus-refresh-answer\"><strong>Quick answer (checked October 13, 2026):<\/strong> ChatGPT Plus costs <strong>US$20 per month<\/strong> on OpenAI\u2019s standard web plan. Go is US$8\/month in the U.S.; Pro now has US$100, US$200 and US$500 monthly tiers. Pro 200 is open to new subscribers again. Local taxes and billing currency can change your total. <a href=\"https:\/\/help.openai.com\/en\/articles\/9793128-about-chatgpt-pro-tiers\">OpenAI\u2019s Pro tier guide<\/a> explains the current options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"plus-refresh-text wp-block-paragraph\">If one subscription is not enough for your text, image, and video workflow, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glbgpt.com\/home?inviter=hub_content_home&amp;login=1\">compare GlobalGPT<\/a> as a separate multi-model option before paying for several individual accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"plus-refresh-text wp-block-paragraph\">As of 2026, the standard <strong>ChatGPT Plus subscription costs $20 per month<\/strong>, sitting between Go ($8\/month) and Pro (from $100\/month). It still has a trap: <strong>limits<\/strong>. Everyday text chats and reasoning or tool allowances are different things. Plus includes GPT-6 Sol in Chat as it rolls out, and GPT-6 Astra in Work and Codex. For resets and what to do when you hit a cap, see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glbgpt.com\/hub\/chatgpt-plus-limits-explained-what-users-need-to-know-in-2025\/\">ChatGPT Plus limits explained<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"plus-refresh-text wp-block-paragraph\">For the official plan facts, OpenAI lists ChatGPT Plus at <strong>US$20 per month<\/strong>, with higher limits and expanded features compared with Free. OpenAI also supports AUD billing for Australia on web subscriptions. Exact model availability and dynamic limits can change by account and rollout, so check the model picker and your checkout before relying on a specific quota. <a href=\"https:\/\/help.openai.com\/en\/articles\/6950777-what-is-chatgpt-plus\">Read OpenAI\u2019s current Plus description<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/help.openai.com\/en\/articles\/10421635-multi-currency-billing\">multi-currency billing guidance<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"plus-refresh-text wp-block-paragraph\">For writers and developers who just need top-tier text generation, paying $20 is overkill. <strong>GlobalGPT\u2019s Basic plan costs $5.75\/month with annual billing ($69\/year), or $8.90 billed monthly.<\/strong> It includes GPT-6.1 Sol, Claude Opus 5.5 and Gemini 3.8 Flash in one dashboard\u2014allowing you to switch between models for debugging or fact-checking without juggling three separate subscriptions.

The <strong>GlobalGPT Pro plan is $10.75\/month with annual billing ($129\/year), or $15 billed monthly.<\/strong> It is your all-in-one creative engine, integrating video models like Sora 2, Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0 and Wan 3.0 alongside Nano Banana 2.1, Midjourney and FLUX.2 Pro for image generation.
