OpenAI sets ChatGPT ad pricing at roughly $60 CPM, triple Meta's average rate

Written by Paid Media Collective
IN BRIEF

OpenAI plans to charge advertisers around $60 per 1,000 impressions for ads inside ChatGPT, according to The Information. That puts pricing on par with premium TV and live sports inventory, and roughly three times Meta's typical $15–20 CPM.

What changed

Ads will appear below responses on the free and Go tiers in the US, targeting broad categories based on the current conversation. Reporting will be limited to high-level metrics like impressions and clicks: no conversion tracking or detailed attribution at launch.

THE COLLECTIVE PERSPECTIVE

Why it matters for advertisers

For you, this means a new high-intent advertising channel is opening, but with premium pricing and limited measurement, making it better suited to brand awareness testing than performance campaigns right now.
