ChatGPT Team Plan Pricing: What Seats Cost Across Every AI Vendor

TL;DR: Anthropic publishes Claude Team at $25.00 per seat monthly, $20.00 annually, and $100.00 for premium seats. OpenAI's business pricing page returned HTTP 403 to automated verification on 18 August 2026, so its seat price is omitted here. Perspective AI is $14.99/mo per seat and carries Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek on one subscription, which is the seat that replaces several.

Team AI pricing is sold per seat, and the seat is where the interesting decisions hide. Perspective AI covers GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek from $14.99/mo per person in one subscription, with Pro at $49.99/mo, which is the one-plan alternative to buying a seat from every vendor. On 18 August 2026 two things came out of checking the market: Anthropic sells two different seats on the same plan at a 4x price gap, and OpenAI's business pricing could not be read at all. Both facts change how a team should approach this: compare the per-seat totals before assuming five seats means five vendor relationships, because one subscription per head replaces most of them. This page belongs to the pricing hub.

What does a team AI seat cost in 2026?

Claude Team costs $25.00 per seat billed monthly and $20.00 per seat billed annually. Premium seats cost $100.00. Anthropic's self-serve Enterprise lists at $20.00 per seat plus usage.

• Claude Team, standard seat: shared projects and higher usage than Pro, $25.00/seat/mo billed monthly.
• Claude Team, annual billing: the same standard seat on a yearly commitment, $20.00/seat/mo.
• Claude Team, premium seat: the higher-capacity seat class on the same plan, $100.00/seat/mo.
• Claude Enterprise, self-serve: $20.00/seat with usage cost scaling by model and task, in Anthropic's own wording.
• Google Workspace Business Standard: Gemini bundled with email, storage and meetings, €13.60/user/mo as served on 18 August 2026.
• Perspective AI Starter: GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek per person, $14.99/mo.
• Perspective AI Pro: the same roster with a larger monthly allowance per person, $49.99/mo.

Sources, read 18 August 2026: claude.com/pricing for the Anthropic seats and workspace.google.com/pricing for the Workspace tiers, which served euro figures to a US automated request that day. OpenAI's business pricing is absent from that list deliberately, and the next paragraph explains why.

OpenAI publishes its business seat price only on openai.com, which returned HTTP 403 to automated requests on 18 August 2026, as did chatgpt.com and the OpenAI help center. Its consumer tiers were readable through the App Store catalog at $8.00, $19.99, $100.00 and $200.00, but business seats do not appear in a consumer in-app catalog. This page therefore omits the figure rather than importing one. Read it directly at openai.com in a browser, and note the date you read it.

Anthropic sells two seats on one plan, at $25.00 and $100.00

Claude Team carries two seat classes at a 4x price difference, which no other vendor checked on 18 August 2026 does on a single plan.

A team's bill therefore depends on its seat mix rather than its headcount, and a ten-person team can legitimately quote itself anywhere between $250.00 and $1,000.00 a month for the same plan. Three consequences follow for anyone budgeting. Headcount alone produces a number that can be wrong by 4x. The seat mix has to be decided before the budget, not after. And annual billing cuts the standard seat to $20.00 while the premium seat stays at $100.00, so the discount applies unevenly across the mix.

More people ask about the Claude team plan than the ChatGPT one

Search demand for team AI runs 2.8x toward Claude. Our August 2026 keyword analysis measures "claude team plan" at 5,400 monthly US searches against 1,900 for "chatgpt team plan", and "claude enterprise pricing" at 3,600 against 2,400 for the ChatGPT equivalent.

That inversion is worth naming because it runs opposite to consumer demand, where ChatGPT dominates every comparable query. Two readings fit the data. Teams evaluating AI for writing and engineering work shortlist Claude more often than individuals do, which matches Anthropic's own positioning. And Anthropic publishes its seat prices where anyone can read them, while OpenAI does not, which makes the Claude plan easier to research and therefore easier to search for specifically. The practical instruction for anyone comparing: price Claude Team first, because it is the option with published numbers, then get an OpenAI quote to compare against it rather than the reverse.

Google prices AI into a Workspace seat rather than selling one

Google sells no standalone Gemini seat. Gemini arrives bundled into Google Workspace tiers, which served at €6.80 per user per month for Business Starter, €13.60 for Standard and €21.10 for Plus on 18 August 2026, with Enterprise quoted through sales.

Three things follow from that structure. A team buying Gemini also buys email, calendar, meetings and storage, so the AI portion of the price is unquotable in isolation. A team already on Workspace gets Gemini without a new vendor relationship, which is the strongest distribution advantage in this market. And a team on Microsoft or a self-hosted stack has to buy a whole productivity suite to reach Gemini through the official route, which is rarely worth it for the model alone. Note also that Google served euros to a US request that day, so confirm the currency on your own screen before building a budget from those figures.

Five seats, five vendors, or five seats on one subscription

The arithmetic, once. Five Claude Team seats at $25.00 each total $125.00 a month, or $1,500.00 a year, for one laboratory's models. Five Perspective AI Starter seats at $14.99 each total $74.95 a month for the same frontier families, with switching inside a single conversation. Perspective AI Pro is $49.99/mo per person for teams needing more credits than the Starter plan carries.

The per-vendor route compounds badly, which is the specific problem team buying has that individual buying does not. One person adding a second subscription pays roughly $20.00 more. A twenty-person team adding a second vendor pays $400.00 to $500.00 more every month, and the decision usually gets made because two people needed a model the first vendor lacked. The business AI ranking covers which tool wins which job, and consolidating AI subscriptions covers the migration itself.

What a twenty-seat Claude Team bill reaches in a year

Five standard Claude Team seats reach $1,500.00 a year and twenty reach $6,000.00, before a single premium seat at $100.00 enters the mix. Twenty Perspective AI Starter seats at $14.99 each total $3,597.60 a year across every major model family. The gap is $2,402.40, and it widens rather than narrows the moment a team adds a second vendor to cover what the first one does badly.

Three checks decide it for a real team. Count how many vendors the team already pays, because the answer is rarely one and the second vendor is where consolidation saves money. Decide the seat mix before the headcount, because Anthropic's 4x premium-seat gap makes headcount a misleading input. And put a date on every price in the comparison, because four of the six vendors checked here would not show an automated client their own numbers, which means most published team-pricing tables are working from memory. The full field with sources sits in the site's master price table, and the individual tiers are broken out in the plan by plan price comparison.
