It’s not a secret OpenAI is already working on ChatGPT Pro, the paid version of their popular chatbot. We already told you about it a few days ago, and unlike what is usual in this sector, in this case the information does not come from a leak, a rumor or an analyst’s theory. No, we know the company is working on it, as a few days ago it opened a public waiting list for those who might be interested in this pro version of the service.

There are two particularly interesting points in this list, published via the Google Forms tool. The first is, of course, that they indicate what the differences will be between normal accounts, i.e. the free ones, and ChatGPT Pro accounts, which, as we told you back then, we can summarize by talking about the greater availability of the service, which is sometimes unavailable due to server overload users of current accounts, faster response and the possibility to deal with a larger number of inquiries in short periods of time.

Another interesting aspect of this document is that it consists of a list of questions and nothing less than four of them have to do with price which ChatGPT Pro will have once available. They are the following:

• At what price ($ per month) would you consider ChatGPT so expensive that you wouldn’t consider buying it?
• At what price ($ per month) would you consider ChatGPT’s price to be so low that you’d think the quality can’t be very good?
• At what price ($ per month) would you consider ChatGPT to be starting to get expensive, so it’s not out of the question, but would you have to think about buying it?
• At what price ($ per month) would you consider ChatGPT to be a bargain, a great value for the money?

And once these four questions are done, the user is asked if they want to be contacted when the payment method is available.

So the main question that everyone asks is how much will ChatGPT Pro cost? What will your monthly fee be? And as it started to circulate on the Internet, it seems that OpenAI is already offering the first accounts of this type to users who have signed up to the list, and that the price at which it is offered is $42 per month.

Apart from the selection of exactly 42, which many are quick to identify as the meaning of life (if this was not your case, I highly recommend reading The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, you are missing a gem), the first reaction to the award is not very positive, although it is true that to a large extent they cater to individuals, not professionals and businesses, who may actually consider it competitively priced given what the service can offer them.

yes indeed we should not state this price as final. As we’ve already seen, OpenAI is very skeptical about this, so it collects as much feedback as possible. Perhaps the $42 per month reported by some users is just the first test.

What do you think about the price? How much would you be willing to pay to use ChatGPT Pro? What use would you put to it?
