> How ChatGPT ads work

Who sees ads

Free & Go plan users

Plus, Pro, Enterprise and Team subscribers don't see ads. Free users and Go plan users do. Your ad reaches a massive audience but not the highest-paying segment.

Placement

Below the response

Ads appear after ChatGPT finishes responding, separated by a divider. They're clearly labeled "Sponsored" and include your logo, brand name, headline and description.

Copy limits

Short and punchy

Headlines truncate around 30 characters on mobile. Descriptions show roughly 80 characters before being clipped. Lead with your strongest hook, since there's no room to build up.

User controls

Hide, report, skip

Users can tap ··· on any ad to hide it, mark it as irrelevant, or report it. Irrelevant targeting leads to high hide rates, so match your ad to the query context.

Common questions

No. PixelSERP is an independent free tool for marketers. It simulates how sponsored placements appear inside ChatGPT so you can plan creative before campaigns go live. It has no affiliation with OpenAI.
The layout mirrors the sponsored card format shown in ChatGPT's ad tests: brand name, sponsored label, headline, description and thumbnail, rendered in both light and dark themes on desktop and mobile widths. As OpenAI iterates on the format, we update the simulator to match.
Creative planning. Agencies and brands are already pitching AI-placement strategies, and a realistic mockup beats a slide full of rectangles. Copy the preview as an image and drop it straight into a client deck.
No. Everything renders in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server, stored, or shared.
A compact card below the AI response: brand name, a "Sponsored" label, a short headline and description, and an optional thumbnail. This simulator renders that exact layout so you can preview yours before a campaign goes live.
Yes. OpenAI opened a self-serve Ads Manager at ads.openai.com on 5 May 2026, with no minimum spend. Any eligible US business can sign up and launch a campaign. Ads currently only show to Free and ChatGPT Go ($8/month) users; Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise stay ad-free. Access started in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, with more markets rolling out through 2026.
Roughly $3–$5 per click, or $25–$60 per 1,000 impressions, depending on category. OpenAI's recommended starting CPC bid is $3–$5, with bids under $3 often failing to clear delivery. There's no minimum spend on the self-serve platform, down from the $200,000 enterprise minimum at launch in February 2026. A cost-per-action option is also rolling out for accounts with conversion tracking set up.
