What Is ChatGPT Best For?

A highly praised feature of ChatGPT is ‘Deep Research’. It is used to conduct in-depth research to create detailed, cited reports for users that can be downloaded as a PDF or DOCX file. While prompting, users can add their trusted sources, approved URLs, and private files to better guide the research.

In addition to all this, there are options for defining, reviewing, and adjusting the research scope, plan, and sources. This makes it particularly useful for research in consulting, marketing, finance, investment, legal, life sciences, and biomedical fields.

How Much Does ChatGPT Cost?

ChatGPT pricing starts at $8/month and goes up to custom quotes for Enterprises. The six plans offered by the platform are:

• Free: $0/month
• Go: $8/month
• Plus: $20/month
• Pro: From $100/month
• Business: $25/user/month
• Enterprise: Custom pricing

The pricing for individual plans usually stays true to its sticker price. For business plans, however, pricing can come with several additional costs buyers should budget for:

• Enterprise Per-Seat Minimum: $60/user/month with a 150-seat minimum, roughly $108,000/year
• Implementation And Integration Services: $10,000–$50,000 one-time, for custom GPT development and API integrations
• IT Setup/Admin Time: 5–10 hours one-time for SSO configuration and SCIM provisioning (UI-only deployments)
• API Usage (separate from seat licenses): $5 input and $30 output/million tokens (GPT-5.5), billed on top of any seat costs if you use API access 

Users find that ChatGPT’s cost makes sense when it saves hours of work. Professionals can use it for research, writing, coding, and analysis. That time adds up. For some teams, the subscription pays for itself through everyday use.

Disclaimer: The pricing is subject to change.

ChatGPT Use Cases

Based on ChatGPT’s functionality, we have identified key scenarios where it could be a good fit for professionals and business teams:  

Operations Teams Preparing For Project Reviews Via Scattered Tools

Project reviews often require information from several places. ChatGPT can bring those details together. It can review project management data, planning documents, and recent team messages, then turn them into a clear summary. Teams can quickly see what is done, what is still pending, and what needs attention next. Each action can also be matched with an owner.

Engineering Teams Turning Bugs Into Tested Fixes

A reported bug or feature request does not necessarily end with a developer reading the ticket and writing code. The change also needs to be tested and prepared for review. Codex can inspect the relevant codebase, make the change, run tests, and prepare a pull request. For engineering teams, this provides a way to handle more of the process from the initial request to a review-ready change.

Finance Teams Preparing For Month-End Close

Finance teams spend a fair amount of time gathering information before they can start working through the month-end close. ChatGPT can pull together information from spreadsheets and other systems and use it for analysis, forecasting, and financial modeling. With ChatGPT Work, teams can also run risk-weighted scenarios and compare how different outcomes could affect their numbers in real-time.

Data Teams Explaining Business Changes Without Context

Data teams may spot important changes in business performance, but what is driving those changes? This question can stump them. ChatGPT Work can combine business data with customer relationship management (CRM) information and other relevant context to explain these changes. This leads the teams to identify where the problem is and turn their findings into a clearer action plan.

Is ChatGPT Right For You?

The platform stands as a good option for companies and individuals looking for a secure AI platform. It is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and ISO 27001, 27017, 27018, and 27701 certified. On the security front, it offers role-based access controls (RBACs) and has data encryption both at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2+).

It is designed to scale from individual use to organization-wide deployment. The teams at Cisco, Virgin Atlantic, Duolingo, and Zendesk reportedly use ChatGPT to handle their different projects and workflows while maintaining enterprise-grade security. Its ‘Business’ and ‘Enterprise’ plans provide centralized user management, usage analytics, integrations, and administrative controls. Enterprise also supports virtually unlimited messaging for eligible models.
