I have a question regarding the use of a Team account for personal family purposes. I’ve been using ChatGPT recently and it suggested that a Team account might be suitable for family use. However, I would like to confirm if this is actually allowed according to OpenAI’s terms and conditions.
Could anyone clarify whether it’s permissible to use a Team account for a private family setup? Are there any specific guidelines or restrictions regarding this type of use?
Thank you in advance for your help. I look forward to hearing your insights!
I have been using ChatGPT for almost 2 years now and on this forum for just as long, even before Teams was created. I have seen no indication that ChatGPT Teams cannot be used for a family.
My advice would be to wait until the 12 days of OpenAI ends as there might be a family option, fingers crossed.
A few things to know/consider before switching to ChatGPT Teams.
Conversations cannot be moved to other ChatGPT accounts. What goes in stays there. Think of it as if it is a company-owned account, and if you leave the company, they keep the conversations.
The minimum number of seats is 2, so you will always be billed for at least that, even if only one person is using ChatGPT.
The cost is slightly higher, but you get higher quotas.
Not everything with ChatGPT Plus is included; that changed recently and is in such flux I would not even give odds on such.
Your kids might figure out they they can add their friends and you pay for the added seat(s); there is no ability to stop this at present. (ref)
The place I go to verify facts for ChatGPT Team is the OpenAI FAQ page for ChatGPT Teams
