ChatGPT Ads expands to 26 new countries as over 100,000 advertisers have used the platform
On October 21 OpenAI announced that ChatGPT Ads is expanding to 26 new countries, bringing the total to 89, including 14 in Latin America plus Nigeria, South Africa, Serbia, Ukraine, Cambodia, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Roughly eight months after launch, more than 100,000 advertisers have used the platform; ads appear only in Free and Go plans, while Plus and Enterprise stay ad-free, conversations remain private, and ads never affect answer content. This matters because advertising is the pillar of ChatGPT commercialization and its free-tier strategy, and expansion to 89 countries makes conversational AI advertising a truly global ad channel.
