ChatGPT Business has a Premium seat. Heavy use is the wrong reason to buy one.
Premium seats for ChatGPT Business were announced on 10 August 2026 and became available on 24 August. Published USD list prices are US$100 per user per month billed annually or US$125 billed monthly. Premium increases included Work and Codex usage; individual Chat model allowances are separate.
What changed
OpenAI announced ChatGPT Business Premium seats on 10 August 2026 and recorded availability on 24 August. Published USD list prices are US$100 per user per month billed annually or US$125 billed monthly; check local pricing and currency before purchase. Premium offers five times Standard's included Work and Codex usage, with no five-hour window and weekly resets; individual Chat model allowances are separate. Workspaces can mix and reassign seat types. The launch promotion has ended; its former waitlist article now redirects to the Business overview, so old promotion deadlines are not current purchase conditions. Adding paid capacity now triggers an immediate prorated charge for the remaining billing cycle. The current overview does not establish the older 200-seat cap; confirm workspace-specific purchasing limits before budgeting.
Why it matters
The obvious way to choose who gets the upgrade is to look at who uses ChatGPT most, which is also how you end up paying more for someone going round in circles. Usage tells you there was demand. It says nothing about whether the work mattered, whether anyone accepted the result, or how much correcting it needed. One person can burn a large allowance rewriting the same unclear brief while someone else uses a fraction of it to produce a report the team acts on.
Bit’s takeaway
The human take
A person judges which interrupted work was actually valuable, and reassigns or removes the seat when the capacity stops going into work that gets used.
