Who should pick which

Pick Plus if you are one person, your work isn’t shared, and you don’t need admin control.
Pick Business once two or more people use ChatGPT for company work, or you need SSO, shared projects and agents, or connected company sources.
Pick Enterprise when you need SCIM, data residency, custom retention, or contracted terms. See Business vs Enterprise.

Our honest take
Business Standard on annual billing costs the same per person as Plus. The difference is control, not price.

§ 03

Moving from Plus to Business

Custom GPTs on every plan retire December 11, 2026, so plan migration as part of the move. Our rollout checklist covers the rest.
