What ChatGPT Ads cost

The pricing model mirrors Google Ads: pick a Clicks objective and pay per click, or a Reach objective and pay per thousand impressions.

Fact: OpenAI recommends a starting max bid of $3–5 per click on the Clicks objective. The CPM default is $60 but adjustable.
Fact: The earlier $50,000 minimum spend was removed, so a contractor can test for a few hundred dollars.

What setup involves

Account creation is fast; verification is the wait. You will need business info including EIN, a payment method, and a physical address. Each business needs its own account, and the client owns it regardless of who manages it.

Fact: OpenAI opened a free self-serve Ads Manager at ads.openai.com in May 2026.
