OpenAI has expanded its lower-cost subscription plan, ChatGPT Go, to 16 more countries across Asia, company head Nick Turley announced Thursday.

“Making ChatGPT more affordable has been a key ask from users,” said Turley in a post on social media platform X in August.

The artificial intelligence company launched ChatGPT Go in India and Indonesia earlier this year.

The rollout brings OpenAI’s cheapest plan to users across a total of 18 Asian countries: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Timor-Leste (East Timor) and Vietnam.

The expansion aims to increase the accessibility of the company’s latest model GPT-5, OpenAI said on its website.

ChatGPT Go includes all features in the free version, as well as extended access to image generation, file uploads, advanced data analysis and other functions. It also includes higher usage limits than the free plan for core chat and tools, according to OpenAI.

ChatGPT Go launched in India and Indonesia at a monthly fee of 399 rupees (about $4.50) and 75,000 rupiah (about $4.53), respectively — which are a fraction of the price of the company’s other subscription plans. The cost of the plan in other Asian markets may differ.

OpenAI currently has two other paid personal plans: ChatGPT Plus, which is offered at $20 a month and ChatGPT Pro, which is offered at $200 a month. The company also offers a business plan for $25 a month.

The use of ChatGPT has grown rapidly across the globe since its launch in late 2022. According to data from OpenAI, adoption growth rates of the AI chatbot in the lowest income countries were over four times those in the highest income countries by May 2025.

OpenAI noted that the budget-friendly plan is gradually being made available to all users. For those in Cambodia, Laos and Nepal, ChatGPT Go is already available on web and Android subscriptions, but not yet in the iOS app.
