ChatGPT Go available to some users for as little as Rs 99, but there is a catch

OpenAI is reportedly offering some users ChatGPT Go for as low as Rs 99 a month. ChatGPT Go, which is technically the most affordable ChatGPT plan in India, usually sells for Rs 399 for a monthly subscription. Multiple users on X are reporting that OpenAI is lowering the pricing of ChatGPT Go subscription – down to Rs 99 – when they are choosing to leave the service. In other words, they can continue using ChatGPT Go for Rs 99, if they stay.What is the Rs 99 ChatGPT Go offer and who gets it?This special retention offer is seemingly not available to everyone. Reportedly, it is targeted only at users who are in the middle of cancelling their active ChatGPT Go subscription. If a user does not see this offer during the cancellation process, they will have to pay the regular price.It is also important to note that this discount can only be claimed through the official ChatGPT website or the Android mobile app, as it is currently missing from Apple's iOS app, according to user reports. India Today Tech reached out to OpenAI, but the company was unavailable for comment.How to claim the discounted planTo see if you are eligible for this offer, you need to sign in to your account on the ChatGPT website or Android app. From there, tap on your profile icon, navigate to the Settings menu, and directly open the Billing section. Next, choose the option to cancel your plan. As you follow the cancellation steps, a survey will ask why you want to leave. The user reports suggest selecting cost or pricing as your main reason. However, OpenAI has never stated that these specific answers unlock the discount.After completing the survey, return to the main screen and look for a blue banner offering the Rs 99 deal. If it appears, click on it, review the new billing terms carefully, and confirm the payment. If no banner shows up, you can simply complete the standard cancellation process.What does the ChatGPT Go plan offer? ChatGPT Go sits comfortably between the basic Free version and the more premium Plus subscription. It is available in all countries where ChatGPT is supported and offers a major upgrade over the free tier.Subscribers get significantly higher daily limits for sending messages, creating AI images, and uploading files like documents or spreadsheets. It also unlocks advanced data analysis tools, including Python.Furthermore, the Go plan has a longer memory, meaning it remembers larger chunks of your conversations to provide highly personalised answers. Users can even access custom GPTs and specific project tools. Just keep in mind that top-tier experimental features, like AI video generation, are not included in this package.What happens after the promotional period?If you do manage to grab the Rs 99 deal, remember that it is for three months. Once the promotion ends, OpenAI may automatically renew your subscription at the standard rate of Rs 399 per month.To avoid being charged, you must cancel the plan at least 24 hours before your next billing date. If you do decide to cancel, OpenAI will not charge you for the next cycle, but you can comfortably keep using all your premium features until the current billing month comes to an end.- Ends
