OpenAI has announced the launch of its ChatGPT Go plan in Indonesia, retailing at Rp75,000 ($4.57) per month . This move follows the successful introduction of the plan in India, which saw a significant increase in subscribers . The Go plan is positioned as a mid-tier subscription option between the free version and the premium ChatGPT Plus plan, offering users extended features at an affordable price.

The ChatGPT Go plan provides 10 times higher usage limits compared to the free plan, enabling users to send more questions, generate images, and upload files . Additionally, the plan allows the chatbot to remember previous conversations better, enabling more personalized responses over time. This expansion into Indonesia positions OpenAI in direct competition with Google, which recently launched its AI Plus subscription plan in the country .

OpenAI's latest move is part of its broader strategy to make its advanced AI capabilities more accessible to a wider audience. The company has been focusing on price-sensitive markets, such as India, to gather feedback and refine its offerings. The Go plan in India was priced at around 399 rupees per month, targeting the country's large internet user base .

The introduction of the Go plan in Indonesia follows the company's meeting with Indian IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to discuss the creation of a low-cost AI ecosystem . Other tech giants, including Google, have also been eyeing India's growing base of over 800 million internet users, offering various AI subscription plans to capture this market .
