In parallel with the introduction of ChatGPT Go in Malaysia, OpenAI has also updated its offering, allowing local users to subscribe using local currency charges. This also allows local users to pay at the same price despite changes in the Malaysian currency exchange rate abroad.
Through this update, ChatGPT Plus is offered at a subscription price of RM99.90 per month. For most users who are ready to subscribe to ChatGPT Plus for $20 per month, this can be said to be a price increase. According to the current exchange rate, $20 is around RM84, making local users have to pay an additional RM15 for a ChatGPT Plus subscription using Malaysian Ringgit currency.
In addition to ChatGPT Plus, the ChatGPT Pro version, which previously cost $200, is now listed at RM999.90 per month using local currency. Meanwhile, the newly introduced ChatGPT Go is offered at RM38.99 or $4 according to international prices which translates to RM16 according to the current exchange rate, showing the price to be double that.
