OpenAI has made Premium seats generally available for ChatGPT Business, creating a higher-capacity option for teams that have a smaller group of especially active AI users. Premium seats provide five times more usage than Standard seats and remove the five-hour usage limit, while remaining in the same centrally administered ChatGPT Business workspace.
The new tier changes the buying model for companies that do not need maximum capacity for every employee. Rather than moving an entire workspace to a higher-cost plan, administrators can combine Standard and Premium seats, assigning the latter to people whose work involves more frequent data analysis, coding with Codex, or other demanding ChatGPT workloads.
According to OpenAI's official Premium seats announcement, Premium costs $125 per user per month on monthly billing, or $100 per user per month when billed annually. That annual rate is important context for references to a $100 Premium seat. It is not the standard month-to-month price.
Pricing and workspace configuration
ChatGPT Business now supports two paid seat types within one workspace. Standard remains the lower-cost option for regular users, while Premium is intended for the most active teammates. OpenAI says workspaces can have up to 200 paid seats in total, combining both seat types.
