OpenAI Launches Affordable ChatGPT Go Plan in Portugal

OpenAI has officially launched a new, more economical subscription tier for its popular AI platform in Portugal. The new plan, known as ChatGPT Go, is designed to offer many of the premium features of ChatGPT at a significantly lower price point, making advanced AI more accessible to a wider audience.

A More Accessible Price Point

Priced at just €7.99 per month, ChatGPT Go is a compelling option for users who want more power than the free version without committing to the higher cost of ChatGPT Plus, which is priced at around €23 per month. According to a report by ECO, this new pricing strategy is expected to encourage many existing customers from OpenAI to consider the more affordable subscription.

What Do You Get with ChatGPT Go?

Despite its lower cost, ChatGPT Go packs a serious punch. Subscribers gain expanded access to GPT-5, OpenAI's most powerful AI model, which translates to broader messaging capabilities and more generous file upload limits. The plan also offers:

• Faster Image Creation: Generate images more quickly and efficiently compared to the free version.
• Extended Memory: The AI can remember more context from your conversations, allowing for longer and more continuous interactions.
• Project and Task Management: Utilize the platform for organizing projects and managing tasks.
• Custom GPTs: Access and use various custom "GPTs," which are specialized applications integrated into ChatGPT for specific purposes.

Key Differences: What's Missing in ChatGPT Go?

To achieve its budget-friendly price, ChatGPT Go omits some of the most cutting-edge features reserved for the premium Plus tier. The most significant difference lies in the absence of GPT-5 with advanced reasoning capabilities.

Additionally, ChatGPT Go users will not have access to two major features:

1. Sora Video Generation: The plan does not include the ability to create videos using the Sora AI model. This powerful tool can generate realistic and imaginative video clips from simple text instructions or images.
2. Agent Mode: Another key feature exclusive to ChatGPT Plus is the "agent" functionality. This allows the AI to move beyond simply answering questions and autonomously perform tasks. An agent can develop programming code, navigate websites to gather information, compile reports, create presentations, and even automate complex data analysis workflows.

How Go Fits into OpenAI's Subscription Tiers

Even with the introduction of ChatGPT Go, the free version of ChatGPT remains available. It provides access to the GPT-5 model but comes with significant restrictions, including limited file uploads, slower image creation, reduced memory, and no access to agents or video generation.

The launch of ChatGPT Go in Portugal follows its initial rollout in India in August, where it is available for an equivalent of just four euros per month. This tiered approach allows OpenAI to cater to different user needs and budgets, from casual users to power users who require the full suite of advanced AI capabilities.
