ChatGPT: what it does, who it suits and what it costs
A general AI assistant for drafting, rewriting, brainstorming and answering questions, with a free plan and paid individual and team plans.
Who it is for
Owners and small teams who write a lot: emails, social captions, quotes, FAQs and first drafts of web copy.
What small businesses use it for
- Draft replies to customer emails and reviews
- Turn rough notes into a clear service description
- Brainstorm post ideas and captions
- Summarize long documents or supplier terms
Plans and prices

The official pricing page did not display amounts for the individual paid plans (Go, Plus, Pro) when we checked, so we have not listed them. Prices can vary by country.
Worth knowing
- Free plan covers everyday drafting
- Business plan states workspace data is not used for training
Watch out for
- Free plan limits change over time and are not published as fixed numbers
- Always check facts, prices and legal points it gives you before publishing
