About ChatGPT Plus

ChatGPT Plus is OpenAI's consumer subscription ($20/mo) giving access to GPT-5, advanced voice, image generation, deep research and higher rate limits. Cancel at chatgpt.com → Settings → Subscription.

Refunds & billing

OpenAI does not pro-rate refunds. You keep Plus until the period ends. EU/UK users can request a refund within 14 days if no significant use — email support@openai.com with your invoice ID.

Common problems & troubleshooting

•You bought Plus in the iOS app — chatgpt.com cannot cancel iOS purchases. Open iPhone Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → ChatGPT.
•You're on a Team plan — only the workspace owner can cancel at chatgpt.com/admin.
•Cancelled but still see GPT-5 — that's normal until the end date. After that you fall back to GPT-5 mini.

ChatGPT Plus FAQ

What's the difference between ChatGPT Plus and Pro in 2026?

Plus is $20/mo with standard GPT-5. Pro is $200/mo with unlimited GPT-5 Pro, o1-pro, longer context and advanced research. Most users only need Plus.

Will OpenAI refund Plus if I cancel mid-month?

Not by default. EU/UK users get 14-day cooling-off rights — email support@openai.com referencing the Consumer Rights Directive.

Is the 'ChatGPT Plus payment failed' email a scam?

Almost always yes. Real OpenAI billing emails come from billing@openai.com and from Stripe. Anything asking you to 're-enter card details' via a link is a phishing attempt — verify by logging into chatgpt.com directly.

Can I pause ChatGPT Plus?

No pause option. You must cancel and resubscribe later.
