OpenAI is broadening the availability of its budget-friendly GPT Go plan, initially launched exclusively in India last August for $4 monthly. The company is now preparing to roll out this affordable AI service to additional markets, with Indonesia expected to be among the first new regions to gain access in the coming weeks.
## Global Expansion on the Horizon
Users in India and Indonesia with free ChatGPT accounts will receive prompts encouraging them to upgrade to GPT Go. Evidence suggests OpenAI has broader international plans, as the company’s pricing pages now include multiple currencies: $4 USD, €4 EUR, and £3.50 GBP, alongside the original Indian Rupee pricing. This multi-currency support hints at a potential US launch and wider global availability.
