Overview
- The company announced the new Premium seats on Monday, offering them at $125 per user per month or $100 per user per month with annual billing.
- Premium seats provide five times the usage of Standard seats and remove the previous five-hour usage cap so heavy users can run larger data, code or content workflows without interruption.
- Administrators can mix Standard and Premium seats in one workspace, upgrade or reassign seats, buy shared workspace credits, and monitor usage and spending from a single console.
- OpenAI is running an early-adopter promotion that gives the first 10,000 eligible customers $100 in workspace credits per Premium seat (up to five seats) through August 20, and reports say added seats will incur immediate pro-rated charges starting August 19.
- The launch follows the Team-to-Business rebrand, a standard-seat price cut in April, and the phase-out of Codex-only seats, and it aims to capture mid-market customers who need more capacity without moving to custom Enterprise contracts.
