Dear OpenAI Team,
I am a regular user of ChatGPT and truly appreciate the value it provides. However, I would like to raise a concern regarding the high cost of ChatGPT Plus and the limited access for free users.
For users in middle-class or developing countries, $20 per month (which equals 5780 PKR in my region) is extremely expensive. Many students, job seekers, and professionals cannot afford this amount, yet they rely on AI tools for learning, work, and research. The limited access for free users creates an unfair gap between those who can pay and those who cannot.
If ChatGPT provided more free access or an affordable pricing model based on regional economies, it would greatly benefit a larger audience. AI should be accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford premium services.
I kindly request OpenAI to consider:
- Introducing a lower-cost plan for developing countries.
- Increasing free access for educational and professional use.
- Offering student or financial aid discounts to make AI tools more inclusive.
I hope my concern is considered seriously. Thank you for your time and efforts in advancing AI technology
