Free Plan: A Public Demo for Starters
The Free plan is the beginner's plan. It has a cost of ₹0 and allows informal users to use ChatGPT with basic limits on messages and tools. Whereas OpenAI does not provide explicit caps, Free is intentionally limiting. It pushes those who require dependability or more sophisticated tools into paid levels. For students, occasional users, or first-timers with AI, Free is quite sufficient. But when you reach repeated usage limits or require features such as sophisticated data analysis or extended file upload, Free rapidly reveals its constraints.
ChatGPT Go: India's New Budget-Friendly Plan
Available in India only, ChatGPT Go is available at ₹399 per month and is the value unlock for those who have grown beyond Free but don't wish to pay ₹1,999 for Plus. The plan offers: More messages than Free, larger file uploads, increased image creation, deeper data analysis, and longer memory. With UPI support and regional language features, it fits in with India's digital landscape.
In essence, Go makes ChatGPT a more affordable day-to-day tool for students, solo creators, and cost-conscious professionals. OpenAI is hoping that making this happen at this price point will lead to massive growth in adoption in one of the world's fastest-growing AI markets. Although there are fewer features than Plus, its low price makes it the most affordable premium AI plan in the world. It is intended as a "bridge" between the Free and Plus plans.
ChatGPT Plus: The Mainstream Power Tier
Then there is ChatGPT Plus, which costs ₹1,999 a month in India (or €23/£20 in the EU). This is the plan most serious individual users opt for. It greatly expands capabilities: Expanded message limits, file uploads, data analysis, and image generation. It includes access to deep research tools and multiple reasoning models and voice and video features, including advanced voice mode and screen sharing with codex agents.
Live Events
For writers, analysts, solo entrepreneurs, and knowledge workers, Plus is the default productivity motor. In contrast to Go, it's not merely greater quotas; it unleashes qualitatively different tools capable of managing more sophisticated workflows and collaboration tasks.
ChatGPT Pro: High-Performance for Heavy Operators
The pinnacle of the solo pricing tier is ChatGPT Pro, which costs ₹19,999 a month in India (or $200/€229/£200 elsewhere). That is not for recreational users; it's reserved for operators who expect regular access to the best models OpenAI has. Pro comes with Unlimited message and upload access, pro reasoning access to GPT-5, and Research preview of upcoming features.
This is the plan for professionals doing research, R&D, high-risk content creation, or high-end coding contexts. For them, the price doesn't feature itself; it's about time saved and reliability in volume.
ChatGPT Team: Collaboration at Scale
Whereas Free, Go, Plus, and Pro are for individuals, ChatGPT Team is the first level designed specifically for organisations. The Team plan costs ₹ 2,099 per user per month. Team offers: Shared workspaces for several users, Organisational-level admin controls and governance, more usage limits, and greater availability than individual plans
For small businesses, startups, or groups of creators, the plan aggregates use into a single hub. The benefit is not merely per-user access but group efficiency—teams can organize prompts, GPTs, and resources as a group. OpenAI does not release INR pricing for Team, maintaining it in USD.
A Practical Playbook
That's how to make the decision: stay with Free if your use is casual, sporadic, or exploratory. You can step up to Go if you are in India and need higher reliability, higher numbers of messages, and data analysis without spending a fortune. Select Plus if you are a daily creator or knowledge worker who requires richer tools and more profound research capabilities. Select Pro if you operate mission-critical workflows that demand the latest reasoning models and steady throughput. Choosing a team of collaboration, governance, and centralization are more important than single pricing.
This segmentation ensures users at all points, from casual learners to enterprise teams, have a plan that is right.
Five-variant ChatGPT pricing by OpenAI is now among the most sophisticated in AI. By adding the Go plan at ₹399, India has become the laboratory for a new pricing strategy: increase adoption by reducing initial cost without sacrificing premium users on Plus, Pro, and Team. For consumers, the actual choice is easy: Free to try, Go for value, plus for productivity, Pro for heavy lifting, and Team for teaming.
The end result? A clear value ladder that matches users at every stage of their AI journey, with India positioned at the centre of OpenAI's growth strategy.
OpenAI launching the ChatGPT Go plan for only ₹399 a month in India is not only a local test it's a sign of how the company is reconfiguring its pricing stack to reach new audiences. By placing Go below Plus, Pro, and Team, OpenAI has built one of the most tiered subscription stacks in AI. This breakdown examines each one of the five individual and small-team plans Free, Go, Plus, Pro, and Team more closely with a side-by-side comparison to assist you in making your choice of which plan best suits your workflow.The Free plan is the beginner's plan.

Microsoft Excel gets AI-powered COPILOT function for natural language formulas
Microsoft has launched a new COPILOT function in Excel that lets users create formulas using natural language prompts instead of complex manual coding. The feature, now available to Microsoft 365 Copilot subscribers in the Beta channel, allows users to type commands like "Classify this feedback" and automatically generate AI-powered results in spreadsheet cells. The COPILOT function works by combining natural language prompts with cell references, such as =COPILOT("Summarize this feedback", A2:A20). Users can integrate it with existing Excel functions like IF, SWITCH, and LAMBDA, making data analysis more accessible to non-technical users. Key applications include classifying customer feedback, generating product descriptions, creating summaries of large datasets, and brainstorming marketing ideas. The AI can produce multi-row, multi-column tables that integrate directly into spreadsheets. Microsoft emphasizes that data processed through the COPILOT function remains confidential and won't be used to train AI models. The feature is powered by OpenAI's GPT-4.1-mini model and represents an evolution of Microsoft's earlier experimental function from 2023. Current limitations include a 100-call-per-10-minutes usage cap, inability to access live web data or internal business documents, and restrictions against using it for high-stakes scenarios with legal or regulatory implications. Microsoft warns the function can produce incorrect responses and shouldn't be used for numerical calculations. The company plans to expand functionality over time, including potential web access capabilities and increased usage limits. Excel for the web will receive the feature through Microsoft's Frontier program.

How To Instantly Erase Your ChatGPT History Before It's Too Late
Are you one of the millions using OpenAI's ChatGPT? While this powerful AI can write anything from a quick email to an entire article, a crucial question is being asked by users worldwide: where does all that data go? Your chat history, filled with personal and professional queries, is saved by default. But a simple solution exists to wipe the slate clean and protect your privacy. We've got the foolproof, step-by-step guide to help you take back control of your conversations on any device. On Your Phone: The Quick Privacy Button You Didn't Know You Needed For mobile users, deleting your digital footprint is easier than you think. A few taps can ensure that your past chats are no longer visible. Here's how to do it: 1. Open the ChatGPT app on your smartphone. 2. Tap the menu icon (two lines or a single horizontal line) in the top-left corner to access the sidebar. 3. Tap on your profile icon or name at the bottom of the screen. 4. Navigate to "Data Controls". 5. In this menu, you'll find the option to "Clear Chat History". 6. Tap it and confirm your decision. Your chat history on the app will be wiped clean. On the Web: A Single Click to a Clean Slate If you use ChatGPT primarily on your computer, the process is just as simple. You can delete your entire history in one go. Here's the simple method: 1. Go to the ChatGPT website and log in. 2. Click your profile icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen. 3. A menu will appear. Click on "Settings". 4. In the settings menu, look for the "Data Controls" tab. 5. Inside the "Data Controls" section, click on the button that says "Delete All Chats". 6. Confirm your action, and all your past conversations will be gone from the web interface. While this method clears your visible history from both the app and website, it is important to remember that OpenAI's help centre states that chats are scheduled for permanent deletion from their systems within 30 days. This means some data may be retained temporarily for security or legal obligations. For those who want to prevent their data from being used for model training, there is also an option in "Data Controls" to turn off "Chat history & training".

Palantir stock falls 9% as tech and AI shares drop amid market shift
Palantir shares fell 9% on Tuesday to $157.91, wiping out gains from its recent strong earnings report and full-year guidance boost. The stock has dropped for five straight days, losing 15.5% since August 13. Analysts and multiple outlets linked Palantir's fall to a Citron Research report saying the stock is overvalued, as per reports Citron compared Palantir to OpenAI, which is valued at $500 billion, and said that if OpenAI's price-to-sales ratio applied to Palantir, its stock would fall to $40 per share. Palantir reported $1 billion in revenue this quarter, the first time it has crossed the milestone, as reported by Forbes. Palantir revenue growth Palantir shares had risen over 150% from their April low, driven by strong AI tools and earnings. The company secured a $10 billion deal with the U.S. Army, consolidating 75 contracts into one agreement. Palantir expects full-year revenues of $4.14 billion to $4.15 billion, up from the previous estimate of $3.89 billion to $3.90 billion, as mentioned in the reports. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Algeria Solar Panels: See How Much It Will Cost To Install Them (See Prices) Solar Panel | Search Ads Learn More Undo The Trump administration's push for AI and chip infrastructure in the U.S. is boosting companies like Palantir, NVIDIA, Apple, OpenAI, and Intel. Other tech stocks also fell Tuesday, NVIDIA down 3%, Meta down nearly 2%, and the Nasdaq down 1.4%.

Defensive sectors such as Real Estate, Utilities, Materials, Consumer Staples, and Health Care were the biggest gainers on Tuesday. Because Big Tech has a large weight in indexes, S&P 500 gains are less sharp when tech underperforms; Tuesday, the S&P 500 fell over 0.5%, and the Nasdaq nearly 1.5%. Citi strategist Scott Chronert said the market is on 'two parallel paths': AI growth giants continue leading, while traditional sectors are adding stability, creating a healthier market setup. Chronert added that the 'healthiest path' for the S&P 500 is a mix of continued tech growth and broader sector support, as per Yahoo Finance. FAQs Q1. Why did Palantir stock fall recently? Palantir stock fell due to a Citron Research report calling it overvalued and overall tech market losses. Q2. How much revenue did Palantir make this quarter? Palantir reported $1 billion in revenue this quarter, the first time it crossed this milestone.
