Hi there, it's me, Shiichan! Today I found some good news for teams using ChatGPT Business. A new seat type just landed for your heaviest users, so let's take a look.

What was announced?

From OpenAI's News: ChatGPT Business workspaces are getting a new seat type called Premium seats. Alongside the existing Standard seats, teams can now give a higher-capacity option to the members who use ChatGPT the most.

The story so far

Until now, ChatGPT Business workspaces only had one option: Standard seats. Standard seats come with a usage cap that resets every five hours, so heavy users working on big projects could hit that limit mid-task and get stuck waiting. When every seat on the team is the same plan, it's hard to match the plan to how differently light and heavy users actually work.

What changes

Premium seats are meant to fix exactly that.

  • 5x more usage capacity than Standard seats, so heavy users can push through big projects without interruption.
  • No more five-hour usage cap, the limit that applies to Standard seats.
  • Usage resets on a predictable weekly schedule instead.
  • If a team still needs more, they can top up with shared workspace credits.
  • Standard and Premium seats can be mixed on the same team, so you can upgrade only the members who need it.
  • Billing, usage, and spend can all be managed from one unified dashboard.

Teams with several members handling large, ongoing projects are likely to feel the benefit the most.

Dive Deep

On pricing: Premium seats are $125 a month ($100 a month with annual billing), while Standard seats are $25 a month ($20 a month with annual billing).

There's also a limited-time incentive. Sign up by August 20, and you'll get $100 worth of workspace credits (2,500 credits) for every Premium seat you add, up to $500 worth of credits for five seats. This offer is only available to the first 10,000 eligible customers, though.

ChatGPT Business workspace owners can sign up through a waitlist. Some early sign-ups may get access ahead of general availability as part of the incentive.

Wrap-up

  • ChatGPT Business now offers Premium seats, a higher-capacity tier built for heavy users.
  • Premium seats get 5x the usage of Standard seats and drop the five-hour cap, resetting weekly instead.
  • Standard and Premium seats can be mixed on one team, all managed from a single dashboard.
  • Pricing: Premium seats are $125/month ($100/month annual), Standard seats are $25/month ($20/month annual).
  • Sign up by August 20 for $100 in credits per added seat, limited to the first 10,000 eligible customers.
  • Worth a look for any ChatGPT Business admin whose team has a few power users on board.
