Best for

Readers who already use ChatGPT and need a documented euro catalogue, plus a DPA on Business, Enterprise and the API.

Strengths / Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Official euro billing in the EEA is documented in the Help Center
  • Business, Enterprise, Edu and the API do not use business data for training by default
  • A DPA is offered for Business, Enterprise and the API

Weaknesses

  • Consumer chats may be used for training unless you opt out
  • EU data and inference residency is described for eligible Enterprise and Edu workspaces, not for self-serve plans
  • The pricing page does not state whether VAT is already included in the euro list prices

Verdict

ChatGPT publishes a detailed plan ladder and a euro catalogue, but the VAT treatment of those euro figures is not stated and consumer training is on unless you opt out.
