ChatGPT Plus has just landed in France. The paid version offers a trio of advantages for the most frequent users of the chatbot.
Since its launch at the end of 2022, ChatGPT has met with dazzling success around the world. The intelligent chatbot has passed the milestone of 100 million monthly active users, just two months after it went live. Building on this colossal success, OpenAI, the start-up behind artificial intelligence, has decided to generate money through its creation. To achieve this, the American firm has launched a paid subscription for chatbot fans, ChatGPT Plus. First reserved for the United States, the offer has just settled in France. We take stock of the package.

What are the benefits of ChatGPT Plus?
The debut of the paid version of ChatGPT does not put not an end to the free variation. It is always possible to dialogue with the chatbot without paying a single euro. To convince users to subscribe to the subscription, OpenAI has therefore highlighted several advantages.
First, the start-up gives priority to paying users compared to free users. By subscribing to ChatGPT Plus, you are indeed guaranteed to be able to converse with the AI at any time. For their part, free users are regularly deprived of ChatGPT because of the high demand generated by the chatbot. When the servers are overloaded, the service is very often unavailable. By upgrading to the paid subscription, you will never again see the gray screen announcing that ChatGPT is temporarily unavailable. This is a strong argument for GPT Plus if you use AI in your work.
OpenAI also highlights better performance. The start-up claims that responses are generated faster for ChatGPT Plus subscribers. Clearly, the chatbot will answer your questions in priority and you will go ahead of the requests of other users. If you use the AI all day long, the offer should save you some time, especially since the free ChatGPT frequently takes long seconds to respond. Finally, ChatGPT Plus customers will get priority access to new features of the chatbot. Upcoming AI innovations, such as the highly anticipated GPT 4 model, will likely be made available to subscribers in preview.
What is the price of ChatGPT Plus subscription?
OpenAI offers ChatGPT Plus at a price of 24.20 dollars per month, or approximately 22.50 euros in France. On its site, the San Francisco start-up displays the price excluding VAT, which is a common and legal practice in the United States. The interface shows a round price of 20 dollars.
The amount of VAT, namely $4.20, is only specified during checkout. Please note that the monthly subscription price is expected to fluctuate every month depending on the rate of the euro and the dollar. In its terms of use, OpenAI also specifies that it grants itself the right to review its prices in the future.
