ChatGPT Go plan launched first in India for Rs. 399/month

We just launched ChatGPT Go in India, a new subscription tier that gives users in India more access to our most popular features: 10x higher message limits, 10x more image generations, 10x more file uploads, and 2x longer memory compared with our free tier. All for Rs. 399. :india:

All users in India will now see prices for subscriptions in Indian Rupees, and can now pay through UPI.

Making ChatGPT more affordable has been a key ask from users! We’re rolling out Go in India first and will learn from feedback before expanding to other countries.

Anyone thinks peeps in the country will eat this up or pass? Personally, can’t imagine forking over for this when Perplexity is free and Gemini being free for students, given the general mentality. Bigger deal seems like UPI, which might make it more accessible to some of the country.

A lot of people will go for it! I’m already on the Plus plan, and not everyone wants or can shell out 2K for it. At this price point, many would be interested. In a lot of creative stuff chatgpt gives better results than gemini.

How does it compares to Plus? I mean the rate limits

I’m wondering why though, vs. what you get w/ Perplexity that would make people wanna shell out for this new tier. It’s probably because of my bias towards the techie groups but most I know either aren’t happy with the limitations of Plus or pay a lot more for the higher tiers.

Switching to ChatGPT 5 on Perplexity Pro is good enough for me the few times a day I need to use these assistants.

I think the Plus/Pro stuff is not much useful at all at a personal level but some corporates have workflows built around them. Definitely makes sense to be able to directly use their API for those use cases.

Makes sense to go for ChatGPT Go tbh. The free Perplexity on Airtel isn’t the same as Pro, it feels like a cut down version. I’d used Pro before and the Airtel one is slower and weaker. GPT just gets context better (only Claude really beats it), and perplexity’s more for web-scraping.

Also the context window is really small on perplexity and its system prompt is optimized for web search, not for generic chat application.

Does anyone know if the Chatgpt Go plan allows the use of gpt5 thinking model?

This plan is good for a larger audience worldwide, but hardcore users like me will stick with ChatGPT Plus only. I am using Plus and can’t downgrade it. Luckily, I bought it for just 6k for six months.:joy:

Perplexity Pro is trash imo. I’ve tried claude4 natively and via perplexity and somehow the perplexity is always much behind.

For me personally there’s no single best LLM. But my favourites are -

Claude Sonnet 4 - Most accurate, Least hallucinations

Gemini 2.5 Pro - For very large context and when every other one fails.

Copilot Pro - For day to day tasks and especially copilot vision. It uses gpt5 but is faster due to priority access.

ChatGPT 5 - Most easy to use but most hallucinations too

Llama and Mistral - With ollama, best for offline

Perplexity Pro - Last resort really, for it’s LAB feature

My cousin bought this plan today.

She’s not able to generate images using this and frequently it is showing limit reached. Something is wrong. Any idea about this?

No one is perfect. It’s better to try all and use them according to your work.

I have almost 10+ paid AI tools that I use based on their expertise. :winking_face_with_tongue:

For different models, I use a method that shows which model is good for which task. I simply list out all the models and ask ChatGPT to explain the use cases of each model with an example prompt. That’s it! You will understand all the differences, and then you can use them in a better way.

The problem with that is chatgpt hallucinates, and you can’t necessarily rely on just that.

What are the 10+ paid AI tools you use? It’s more likely that most of these use the same LLM in the backend anyway.

I don’t use any AI tools other than the LLMs I listed above. I have tried dozens, and they’re quite different from each other in diff scenarios. But chatgpt can’t tell them apart as well as trying them out yourself can in my experience.

Btw the reason I’ve had to use a lot of LLMs and try them out is because I am working for a deep learning company that provides AI chat bots and IVR bots and much more. So I end up having to test and use several LLMs myself.

How did you get for 6k?

What is the meaning of hallucinations here?

India isn’t ready for AI. Our company provides chatbots and we ofcourse log everything, and just recently I found this why checking for something -

This bot is for a banking website btw. It feels like a dystopian world going through these transcription logs. It’s mostly just people asking $€x videos/pictures almost always.

The google answer - “ChatGPT hallucinations refer to the phenomenon where the AI model generates responses that are factually incorrect, nonsensical, or fabricated, despite appearing confident and coherent”

For us though, when working on actual reliability tasks, chatgpt is as good as useless because you never know how much of it’s answer is fabricated.

Can’t get any clarity on this, or other key differences between plus and go. Every article/blog just mentions “more”, “higher”, etc., which is meaningless.

If I’m not losing out on much, or anything, I wouldn’t mind “downgrading” from Plus. I don’t use codex, sora, or connectors.
