OpenAI made ChatGPT Enterprise available through AWS Marketplace on November 9. The OpenAI announcement says organizations can use their existing AWS purchasing and billing relationship to buy and manage the subscription. OpenAI also says eligible spend can count toward AWS commitments.
What changes when a team buys through AWS?
The change is the purchasing channel. OpenAI says the marketplace listing offers the same models, features and functionality as buying directly. It also says new features are released at the same time. A company that already uses AWS to buy software can therefore evaluate the AWS route without assuming the listing is a separate version of ChatGPT Enterprise.
The announcement directs customers to their OpenAI or AWS account team to confirm eligibility. Its reference to eligible spend does not establish how much any particular customer can apply toward a commitment. A procurement team will need to check the terms that apply to its own agreement.
Is the listing the same as Amazon Bedrock?
OpenAI describes two uses. Developers can build applications and agents with OpenAI models in Amazon Bedrock. Teams can use ChatGPT Enterprise for daily work through the enterprise product. The AWS Marketplace listing is an additional purchase route for the latter. An organization choosing between the two should start with the work it needs to support: providing an application for staff or building its own.
What else can eligible customers buy?
The announcement also lists ChatGPT for Healthcare and ChatGPT for Financial Services through AWS Marketplace for eligible customers. That availability is separate from a confirmation that a specific account qualifies. Before moving an existing purchase, ask the account team to confirm the exact offering, who will administer it and which terms carry across.
