ChatGPT Enterprise, minus the sales deck.

Last updated November 13, 2026 · By Chris Tabb, founder · Sources checked November 13, 2026

ChatGPT Enterprise is OpenAI’s managed plan for organizations that need enterprise security, administration, and contract terms. Pricing is custom and goes through OpenAI sales. Appearly is an independent consultancy: we help you prepare for that conversation, plan the rollout, and move your custom GPTs before their deadline. We are not an OpenAI reseller or partner.

§ 01

What is ChatGPT Enterprise?

OpenAI describes it as a managed ChatGPT plan for organizations: enterprise-grade privacy and security, centralized member management and workspace administration, higher-usage workflows, and admin features such as domain verification, SSO, SCIM, and usage insights.

On its business pricing page OpenAI adds an expanded context window, EKM, user analytics, role-based access controls, custom data retention, encryption at rest and in transit, no training on your business data by default, data residency in ten regions, 24/7 priority support, SLAs, custom legal terms, and access to AI advisors for eligible customers.

§ 02

How much does ChatGPT Enterprise cost?

There is no public per-seat price. OpenAI says to contact its sales team, and that credit-based and token-based pricing are both available for Enterprise. On credit-based agreements, the workspace buys a shared credit pool at the contract level and every seat draws from it; on token-based agreements, usage is charged in US dollars at your contracted rates.

Since April 2, 2026, OpenAI also offers a Codex seat on credit-based Enterprise agreements: Codex-only access, usage-based, with no fixed cost per user per month.

OpenAI says its sales contact form is the only supported sales channel, that there is no public phone line, and that sales may not respond to every inquiry. It asks for your work email, company name, country, estimated seat count, timeline, and requirements.

Our honest take
Walk into the sales call with a seat count by team, the three systems you need connected, and your custom GPT inventory. It is a much shorter call.

§ 04

The custom GPT dates Enterprise teams must plan around

After a GPT is migrated, the original stays usable until retirement but becomes read-only. Only published GPTs can be migrated, and retrieving the full inventory for bulk migration currently requires a workspace Owner.

Appearly runs custom GPT migration as a fixed fee, and can fold it into an Enterprise rollout.

September 11, 2026: admin notice to help organizations prepare.
October 26, 2026: new GPT creation ended for affected Enterprise workspaces (FedRAMP excepted). Existing, unmigrated GPTs can still be edited.
December 11, 2026: standard retirement. Custom GPTs and their pages become inaccessible.
February 11, 2027: retirement for FedRAMP workspaces and workspaces with a qualifying, approved deferral only.
