OpenAI announced an expansion of its purchasing channels on November 9, 2026. ChatGPT Enterprise is available through AWS Marketplace. The offering is for AWS customers, and eligibility for Korean companies was not specified.
The information in this article was checked against OpenAI's announcement, official help pages, and enterprise privacy documents as of November 11, 2026.
AWS Marketplace added as a purchasing channel
OpenAI announced that ChatGPT Enterprise is now available through AWS Marketplace. AWS customers receive the same models and features as those purchasing directly from OpenAI. The key point of this announcement is an additional purchasing channel for the enterprise service.
Official guidance does not specify Korean companies’ purchasing eligibility, per-seat pricing or minimum order size.AI-generated image
Available to AWS customers, eligibility for Korean companies unspecified
The announcement addresses AWS customers. It does not specify the conditions under which Korean companies can purchase the service. Companies considering adoption in Korea should confirm their eligibility with the OpenAI or AWS team.
The date shown on the announcement is November 9, 2026. The exact publication time and time zone are not specified. The announcement time therefore cannot be determined in Korean time.
Per-seat pricing undisclosed, inference residency limited to the US
The official guidance does not specify per-seat pricing, minimum purchase quantities, or contract duration. OpenAI's help pages separately explain whether data residency carries an additional cost. (Verified additional cost: 0 won · Source: help.openai.com · Checked 2026-11-11) This feature is included in ChatGPT Enterprise and Education plans at no additional cost.
Data residency is a setting for the region where covered data is stored. Inference residency is a setting for the region where models process data to generate responses. According to OpenAI's help pages, inference residency for workspaces purchased through AWS is available only in the US.
| Category | Confirmed information | Distinctions to keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Models and features | AWS customers receive the same models and features as direct purchasers | This does not mean pricing or contract terms are also the same |
| Data residency | Included in Enterprise and Education plans at no additional cost | This does not mean the entire service is free |
| Inference residency | Workspaces purchased through AWS Marketplace support only the US | Must be checked separately from the data storage region |
| Per-seat pricing, minimum quantity, contract duration | Specific terms are not stated in the official guidance | Individual contract terms must be checked |
Contract migration and API inclusion unconfirmed
The process for migrating an existing direct contract with OpenAI to AWS Marketplace is not specified. The announcement also does not explain whether API access or credits are included. The statement that the same models and features are provided is not enough to determine the scope of the contract.
- Eligibility for Korean companies and contract and payment terms must be checked separately.
- Whether an existing contract can be moved, and the migration process, must be confirmed with the team responsible.
- Whether API access or credits are included must be checked in the contract.
Check purchasing conditions and the scope of data processing before adoption in Korea
Companies considering adoption in Korea should check purchasing eligibility and data processing conditions separately. OpenAI states that it does not use business data to train models by default. This business data includes conversations, files, and outputs.
- Confirm purchasing eligibility for Korean companies with the OpenAI or AWS team.
- Check per-seat pricing, minimum purchase quantities, contract duration, and payment terms.
- If there is an existing contract, ask about the process for migrating to AWS Marketplace.
- Review whether the data storage region and US-only inference residency meet internal requirements.
- If API access is needed, separately check whether access or credits are included.
