There is no list price, and that is the first thing to understand
Every other ChatGPT plan has a number on the pricing page. Enterprise has a "contact sales" button. That is not evasion; it reflects how the plan is metered. Per OpenAI's Codex documentation, Enterprise and Edu workspaces have no fixed rate limits — usage scales with the credits written into the contract. So the price is a function of seats, the credit pool you negotiate, and the term, and OpenAI does not publish a per-seat floor.
What OpenAI does say publicly: Enterprise is billed annually, can be paid by invoice rather than card, and nonprofits can get up to 75% off. Everything else is a conversation with sales, and the figures you see quoted on third-party sites are individual deals, not a rate card.

What the contract adds over Business
Per person, an Enterprise seat gets the full model line-up including the Pro reasoning tier, and — this is the part that matters — no fixed cap on Codex or reasoning usage. A Business seat, by contrast, gets the same allowance as ChatGPT Plus.
Around the seats, Enterprise adds the controls that a security or IT team asks for before approving a tool at company scale:
- Identity: SCIM provisioning on top of SAML SSO, so accounts are created and removed by your identity provider, plus role-based access controls and group-level permissions for GPTs.
- Data: enterprise key management, and data residency with processing in the US, EU, UK, Japan, Canada, South Korea, Singapore, India, Australia or the UAE.
- Audit: a compliance API for logs, an analytics dashboard, IP allow-listing and Intune support for iOS.
- Workspace: a global admin console across workspaces, a connector registry for internal tools, and a branded workspace.
- People: dedicated onboarding, ongoing account management and a custom security review.
Business has SSO, an admin console, domain verification and SOC 2 documentation. It does not have any of the above. If your procurement checklist has SCIM or data residency on it, you are shopping for Enterprise whether you wanted to or not.
Do you need it?
Three questions settle it faster than a sales call:
- Does IT need to deprovision accounts automatically? If yes, SCIM, and that is Enterprise.
- Does anyone in legal or security need data processed outside the US? If yes, Enterprise.
- Will more than a handful of people run Codex or deep research hard, every day? If yes, the uncapped usage is the thing you are paying for; on Business you would be buying credits instead.
If all three are no, the Business plan gives the same per-person capability with a credit card and no contract. Teams often start there and move up when the first "no" turns into a "yes".
The other enterprise contracts
Anthropic sells Claude Enterprise on the same model — custom pricing, SSO and SCIM, audit logs, an expanded context window — and Google bundles Gemini into Workspace enterprise tiers. None of the three publishes a rate card at this level, so the useful comparison is on what each includes at the seat: model access, context window, and coding-agent access. The Claude vs ChatGPT team comparison is the closest public proxy.
Frequently Asked Questions
OpenAI does not publish a per-seat price. Enterprise is a negotiated annual contract whose price depends on seat count, the usage credit pool and the term. Figures you see on third-party sites are individual deals rather than a rate card.
OpenAI does not publish one. In practice the plan is sold to organisations, and the features that justify it — SCIM, data residency, a compliance API — only matter at organisational scale.
Not fixed ones. OpenAI's Codex documentation states that Enterprise and Edu workspaces have no fixed rate limits and that usage scales with credits. The contract sets the credit pool.
Yes. OpenAI's pricing page says to contact sales for alternative payment options such as invoicing. The consumer and Business plans are card-only.
