Hey, big spender – OpenAI has a new SKU just for you
↗
OpenAI introduced a ChatGPT Business Premium seat at $125/month (or $100/month annual) that provides five times the usage of standard Business seats and removes the daily cap on advanced features.
Teams hitting usage caps on ChatGPT Business now have an official upgrade path, but at a 5x price increase per seat, the cost-benefit calculus shifts, especially as open-weight models approach comparable capability at infrastructure cost only. The pricing also signals how OpenAI values increased compute consumption relative to seat-based access.

Premium Business seats cost $125/month (or $100/month annual) versus $25/month (or $20/month annual) for standard Business seats.
Premium seats provide 5x the usage limits and remove the 5-hour-per-day cap on advanced features like GPT 5.5 Thinking and Pro.
Even Premium seats eventually consume ChatGPT credits for advanced features beyond the included limits, and GPT 5.6 limits remain unpublished.
