OpenAI Expands Deep Research Access for Subscribers
In a recent announcement via a post on X, OpenAI revealed that it is now extending its Deep Research feature to lower-tier subscription plans. This update benefits users subscribed to Plus, Team, Edu, and Enterprise packages. For comparison, the most expensive individual subscription, ChatGPT Pro, costs a steep $200 per month—clearly aimed at users with more demanding needs. In contrast, the Plus tier is much more accessible at just $20 monthly.
Subscription Limitations and Privileges
It’s important to understand that non-Pro subscribers face significant limitations when it comes to utilizing ChatGPT’s Deep Research capability. Specifically, OpenAI indicates that subscribers of Plus, Team, Edu, and Enterprise tiers are restricted to 10 deep research queries each month. Pro users enjoy an increased allowance from 100 deep research queries up to 120 per month—a notable advantage for those heavily relying on in-depth information.
The Value of Engaging with Deep Research
If you’re interested in exploring a subject deeply for academic purposes or professional development—or simply wish to enhance your knowledge—taking advantage of the Deep Research functionality could prove beneficial. This access allows you to conduct thorough investigations into topics that matter most to you.
