At the end
Auto-bills after 12 months
When the free period ends, it renews as a paid plan unless you cancel first. The price after is not published.
OpenAI's terms say it charges "the current monthly ChatGPT Go fee" when the 12 months end; ChatGPT Go launched in India at ₹399/month (GST included) in Aug 2025. People who redeemed between Nov 4, 2025 and Jan 21, 2026 reach the end of the free year between Nov 4, 2026 and Jan 21, 2027. If you were already paying for ChatGPT Go on the web or Google Play when the promotion started, OpenAI moved your next billing date back by 12 months instead.
