How often do these prices change?

OpenAI reprices markets directly — Turkey doubled in June 2026 — and Apple adjusts currency tiers in between. A number on this site always carries the date it was last true.

Do these prices include tax?

It depends on the country. Many markets outside the US show stickers that already contain VAT. In the United States, sales tax is typically added at checkout. The billing screen before you confirm is the final amount.

What happens to my price if exchange rates move?

You keep paying the same local-currency amount until the storefront reprices. What drifts is the dollar equivalent. That is how some former bargain countries stopped being bargains.

Is the price the same on Android?

Not necessarily. Our verified Plus figures come from Apple's App Store. Google Play can price the same subscription differently. Confirm the amount on the checkout you actually use.

Why does your ranking show fewer countries than other sites?

We only publish prices we have checked against an official storefront, with a date. A blank country here means not checked yet — never invented.

Can I just buy a cheap shared account instead?

No. Shared logins violate the terms, get recycled, and die without warning — along with the chat history you paid for. The official regional price is the better deal.

Can I use a VPN to get cheaper ChatGPT Plus?

No. A Manila exit does not write ₱999 onto a US Apple ID, and it does not turn chatgpt.com into pesos.

Plus on iPhone follows the Apple ID country and the payment method on that ID. A US ID still shows $19.99. OpenAI still wants a card that matches the account on the web. The chat thread does not get cheaper because packets left through Makati. A tunnel also does not convert Plus into Go. IP versus Apple billing: does a VPN make subscriptions cheaper.

What happens to the chats if the peso Apple ID dies?

The work is the threads: the brief you were iterating, the code the model already saw, the project folders on that login. Plus lives on Apple.

OpenAI’s terms still let it close an account whose billing country does not match how you use it. Shared Plus logins get recycled and take the history with them.
