"OpenAI recently announced on its website that it plans to start testing advertisements on ChatGPT in the U.S. The company plans to run ads only on its free and low-cost subscription accounts, while there won't be ads for ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, or Enterprise accounts. The goal, according to the company, is to enable more people to use the platform with fewer usage limits."
"OpenAI also said that users' data and conversations will not be sold to advertisers, and that ads will not drive the answers ChatGPT provides. ChatGPT will also make it clear when an ad is being generated. The company reportedly had 900 million weekly users as of December 2025, and many have deemed it the fastest-growing consumer app of all time. This is obviously a place advertisers will want to be, and it's also likely to drive tremendous revenue in the coming years."
OpenAI will begin testing ads on ChatGPT in the U.S., restricting ads to free and low-cost subscription tiers while exempting paid Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise accounts. The company states that user data and conversations will not be sold to advertisers and that ads will not influence ChatGPT's responses; ads will be clearly labeled. ChatGPT reported 900 million weekly users as of December 2025, achieving rapid consumer growth and strong advertiser appeal. Evercore ISI estimates the ad business could reach roughly $25 billion in annual revenue by 2030, potentially more than doubling 2025 revenue and challenging competitors like Google.
