Overview

  • OpenAI launched ChatGPT Go in Indonesia at Rp75,000 (about $4.50) with 10× higher limits for messages, image generation and file uploads plus longer conversation memory than the free tier.
  • The Indonesia rollout follows an August debut in India at ₹399, where OpenAI says total paid ChatGPT subscriptions more than doubled soon after launch.
  • OpenAI highlights Indonesia as one of ChatGPT’s top five markets by weekly active users, pointing to rapid regional adoption.
  • Google expanded its competing AI Plus tier to more than 40 countries at roughly $4.50–$5, offering Gemini 2.5 Pro access, Veo 3 Fast video tools, Flow and Whisk, NotebookLM enhancements, Workspace integration and 200GB of storage.
  • Google is offering introductory 50% discounts in select markets and began the plan in Indonesia earlier this month, creating a direct head-to-head test of low-cost AI subscriptions.
