OpenAI's consumer strategy centers around its ChatGPT product, with monthly subscriptions starting at $20. According to reports, OpenAI successfully converted 5% to 6% of free users into paid members.
Currently, the number of weekly active users of ChatGPT has reached 250 million. In addition to the consumer market, OpenAI also attaches great importance to enterprise users. The company announced in September that its enterprise products ChatGPT Team, Enterprise and ChatGPT Edu had more than one million paying customers.
