OpenAI Introduces New 'Go' Plan with Expanded Access to GPT-5.2 and Enhanced Features Between Free and Plus Tiers
What happened
Between the Oct 5, 2025 and Jan 19, 2026 captures of OpenAI's pricing page, Pulse recorded 6 changes: Atlassian explicitly added to Business plan app integrations list (previously only mentioned Google Drive, SharePoint, GitHub, Notion); New 'Go' plan introduced between Free and Plus tiers with expanded access to GPT-5.2, more messages, uploads, and image creation; EKM (Enterprise Key Management) added to Enterprise-level security features; Enterprise data residency expanded from seven regions to ten regions; Business plan app integrations quantified - now explicitly states '60+ apps' (previously described generically as 'Connectors to apps'); Model naming updated from GPT-5 to GPT-5.2 across all pricing tiers and feature descriptions. Pulse files it as a packaging change (feature added, new plan, limit raised, feature change, packaging change). Pulse's latest capture (Nov 15, 2026) lists Go at $8, Plus at $20, Business at $20 and Pro at $100.
It lands 9 days after OpenAI's previous change, "OpenAI API Implements 40% Price Increase for GPT-5.2 Output and Input Tokens, Renames GPT-5 to GPT-5.2" (Jan 12, 2026). OpenAI has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window Microsoft, Metabase and Anthropic also changed their AI & Machine Learning pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
