How Much Does ChatGPT Cost in the UK? (2026 Prices)
How much does ChatGPT cost in the UK? The Free plan costs £0. Go is about £7 a month, Plus is about £20 and Pro starts at about £89, based on UK App Store prices. OpenAI lists dollar prices on its website, so your final total depends on where you subscribe.
If you want to know how much ChatGPT costs in the UK, the short answer is that you can use it for nothing, and the paid plans start at about £7 a month. The confusing part is that OpenAI shows its prices in dollars on its website, while the UK app stores list them in pounds.
This guide lists every personal plan, what each one includes and why the price can differ depending on where you subscribe. I checked OpenAI's pricing page and help articles on 21 October 2026. The UK App Store prices come from the BestAIPlan tracker on the same date. Prices change often, so confirm the total at checkout before you pay.

What are the ChatGPT plans and prices in the UK?
OpenAI sells four personal plans, plus Business and Enterprise plans for organisations. Here are the personal plans with the dollar price on chatgpt.com and the UK App Store price in pounds:
Free: $0, so £0
Go: $8 a month on OpenAI's site, £6.99 on the UK App Store
Plus: $20 a month on OpenAI's site, £19.99 on the UK App Store
Pro 100: $100 a month on OpenAI's site, £88.90 on the UK App Store
Pro 200: $200 a month on OpenAI's site, £200.00 on the UK App Store
Pro 500: $500 a month on OpenAI's site, £444.99 on the UK App Store
Every personal plan is billed monthly. OpenAI says Plus has no annual billing, and Pro is billed monthly too.
How much is ChatGPT Free?
The Free plan costs £0. OpenAI's pricing page lists unlimited text chats with GPT-6, subject to its abuse guardrails. Uploads, image creation, voice chats and deep research are all limited.
Free is enough for everyday questions and short drafts. You are most likely to notice the limits on uploads, images and voice first. For the full breakdown, read our guide: Is ChatGPT Free? Free vs Plus vs Pro explained.
How much is ChatGPT Go in the UK?
ChatGPT Go is the cheapest paid plan. OpenAI lists it at $8 a month, and the UK App Store price is £6.99. The AI Till, a UK price tracker, reported £7 a month on chatgpt.com from a UK connection on 18 October 2026.
Go builds on Free with more messages with tools, more uploads, more image creation, more voice chats and longer memory. OpenAI notes that the Go plan may include ads.
How much is ChatGPT Plus in the UK?
Plus costs $20 a month on OpenAI's site and £19.99 a month on the UK App Store. The pound figure is almost the same number as the dollar one, so BestAIPlan calculates that UK App Store buyers pay about 34% more than the US price once converted (checked 21 October 2026).
On top of Go, OpenAI's pricing page lists these Plus features:
Advanced reasoning models with GPT-6
Expanded messages and uploads
More complex and accurate image creation
Expanded deep research
Expanded memory and context
Projects, scheduled tasks and custom GPTs
Expanded Codex usage
ChatGPT Work on desktop, web and mobile

How much is ChatGPT Pro in the UK?
Pro now comes in three monthly tiers. OpenAI lists Pro 100 at $100, Pro 200 at $200 and Pro 500 at $500. On the UK App Store those are £88.90, £200.00 and £444.99. According to OpenAI's help centre, only Pro 500 includes Ultrafast.
OpenAI's pricing page lists Pro reasoning powered by GPT-6 Astra, Dot (an always-on agent), longer Codex and ChatGPT Work sessions, unlimited and faster image creation, and maximum deep research and memory.
OpenAI also says Pro 200 is available to new subscribers again. New Pro 200 subscriptions include a lower usage allowance than before, and the price stays at $200 a month.
Why does the price change depending on where I subscribe?
The same plan can show a different total on chatgpt.com, in the iPhone app and on Google Play. App stores set their own prices, and the UK App Store lists them with tax included.
OpenAI's pricing page shows dollar prices, and I could not confirm from that page whether the website total adds VAT. The checkout screen is the only reliable answer. If you already pay and want to stop, here is how to cancel your ChatGPT subscription.
A privacy tip before you pay: subscribe only on chatgpt.com or through the official ChatGPT app in your phone's app store. Websites selling cheap ChatGPT accounts or shared logins are not an official way to subscribe, and they put your payment details and your chats at risk.
What about ChatGPT Business, Enterprise and the API?
Business and Enterprise are priced per user per month for organisations. OpenAI says Business plans start at two users, and larger customers should contact its sales team. I have not listed a Business price because the pricing page does not show one.
The API is billed separately from every plan. A Plus subscription does not include API credit. Our guide to ChatGPT API pricing explains how that works.
Which ChatGPT plan should you pay for?
A simple way to decide is to start free and only pay when a limit gets in your way:
Stay on Free if you mostly ask questions and write short drafts.
Choose Go if you want more uploads, images and voice chats without Plus prices, and can accept possible ads.
Choose Plus if you want the advanced reasoning models, expanded deep research and ChatGPT Work.
Choose a Pro tier only if you regularly hit Plus limits, or you need Dot or the highest usage.
A quick worked example using UK App Store prices: Go at £6.99 a month comes to £83.88 over 12 months, and Plus at £19.99 a month comes to £239.88. If you only need Plus for one month of heavy use, subscribing for that month and cancelling afterwards costs far less than keeping it all year.
