Short answer
In early October 2026, OpenAI offered a limited-time, one-month ChatGPT Plus trial in India to select users, not to every account. Previous paid subscribers may not qualify. A payment method is required, and the trial auto-renews at ₹1,999 a month unless cancelled, so cancel before renewal if you do not want to continue. From 9 October 2026, Google changed Gemini access: free users kept only Flash-Lite, AI Plus kept Flash-Lite and Flash but lost Pro, while AI Pro and AI Ultra kept all three models.
What this means for buyers
If you only need light AI help, a free tier may be enough. If you need higher limits, faster responses, or Pro models, check which tier actually includes the model you use, because the free and Plus tiers changed in October. Do not assume a trial or a previous plan still includes the same models.
Check before you pay
Compare the current official ChatGPT Plus and Gemini plans, the models included, and the OTT Bazaar deal for that product, before you buy. Trial availability, model access, and prices change, and a trial is not a permanent subscription.
