Pricing FAQ
Find answers to common questions about GPT for Work pricing. To negotiate a custom plan, contact sales.
You do not need an OpenAI ChatGPT subscription (Go, Plus, Pro, Business, or Enterprise plan) to use GPT for Work. If you have a ChatGPT subscription, you cannot use it with GPT for Work.
- Subscription
- Pay-as-you-go
How do I know what type of plan I'm on?​
Open the GPT for Work dashboard. If the badge next to SPACE in the left sidebar shows Pay-as-you-go, your space is on the pay-as-you-go model. If it shows a different plan name, your space is on the subscription model.

How can I buy more credits?​
You can buy credits at any time from the GPT for Work dashboard. Packs feed the shared extra-usage balance and can only be bought while your subscription is active.
How are credits consumed?​
Credit consumption is priced at AI providers' standard rates plus a small service margin. Each seat's monthly quota is consumed first, then the shared extra-usage balance.
Do credits expire?​
Credit packs expire one year after your last purchase. Buy more credits at any time to reset the expiry to one year.
Example: You have $100 worth of credits. Your last purchase was 7 months ago, so these credits will expire in 5 months. You buy $29 worth of credits. You now have $129 worth of credits, which will expire in 12 months.
The monthly quota is separate: it resets at every renewal and does not roll over.
Do I need credits if I set an API key or endpoint?​
Yes, you need credits even if you use an API key or endpoint. Models available through an API key have their own pricing. Models available through a dedicated endpoint do not consume credits, but require credits to be available.
Can I share credits with my team?​
Each seat has its own monthly quota, and the extra-usage credit balance is pooled across the whole space.
Can I share credits between Google and Microsoft accounts?​
-
Credits bought for Google Sheets can be used on Google Docs, and vice versa.
-
Credits bought for Microsoft Excel can be used on Microsoft Word, and vice versa.
To transfer credits between Google and Microsoft accounts, contact support.
Can I transfer my credits to another account?​
To transfer your credits to another account, contact support.
Can I set an auto top-up?​
No, but you can buy larger packs to have your credits last longer.
Can I pause usage?​
You can pause usage at any time from the GPT for Work dashboard. The pause toggle applies only to the shared extra-usage balance — per-seat monthly quota cannot be paused. Learn more.
Can I set credit usage limits?​
Yes. You can set a monthly spending limit for your space and individual monthly limits per user from the Limits screen in the GPT for Work dashboard. Spending limits apply only to the shared extra-usage balance. Learn more.
Why is my balance negative?​
Before each run, the add-on estimates the cost and blocks the run if your balance is too low. If the final cost exceeds the estimate, your balance can go negative by a small amount. This amount is deducted from the following billing cycle.
Can I get a refund?​
We do not offer refunds. We encourage you to carefully consider how many credits you need before buying extra-usage credits.

What's a token?​
A token is a unit of text, such as a word, subword, punctuation mark, or symbol. Models split all input and output text into tokens for processing. Model providers use tokens as the basic unit for measuring model usage. The total number of tokens in a prompt (input) and the model's response (output) determines your credit consumption. For more information, see Tokens and How credits are consumed.
Do credits expire?​
Credit packs expire one year after your last purchase. Buy more credits at any time to reset the expiry to one year.
