The advertising service is available to users on the Free and Go plans, while Plus, Pro, and Enterprise subscriptions remain ad-free. Advertisers can manage campaigns through Ads Manager or via agency and technology partners, including Dentsu, Havas Media, Omnicom Media, Publicis Groupe, and WPP.
OpenAI stated that ads are designed to be clearly labeled and distinct from ChatGPT's conversational responses, ensuring user conversations remain private from advertisers. The company also noted that, at the end of August, it announced that advertising revenue for ChatGPT Ads had reached an annualized run rate of $1 billion in less than 200 days after launch.
