Published . Vendor facts checked on against each vendor’s own pages, listed at the end. Plans, prices and availability change. Neither OpenAI nor Anthropic has reviewed this analysis.
The short version
OpenAI's post of 9 November 2026 announces the listing. The AWS Marketplace page sets out how ChatGPT Enterprise is bought and billed there, and who processes the data. Neither page gives a price.
- How it is bought
- From 9 November 2026 OpenAI sells ChatGPT Enterprise on AWS Marketplace. It is billed through AWS, eligible spend counts toward an EDP or PPA commitment, and the price comes by private offer.
- Where the data sits
- OpenAI stays the data processor, with AWS as one of its subprocessors. The listing says buying through AWS Marketplace does not guarantee that all customer data stays on AWS.
Buying through AWS: one bill, your commitment and a private offer
What was announced
On 9 November 2026 OpenAI said ChatGPT Enterprise is available through AWS Marketplace. OpenAI says organisations can find, buy and manage it through the purchasing and billing relationship they already have with AWS.
The listing names OpenAI as the seller, and the product is delivered as software as a service. Purchasing and billing run through AWS Marketplace. AWS's standard text on the page says recurring monthly usage fees are paid through the AWS bill.
ChatGPT Enterprise includes ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, Codex and dots. OpenAI says AWS customers get "the same models, features, and functionality available directly from OpenAI". New features are released at the same time.
Eligible customers can also buy ChatGPT for Healthcare and ChatGPT for Financial Services through AWS Marketplace. To start, OpenAI says to contact your OpenAI or AWS account team, who will confirm eligibility.
The listing shows no list price, seat price, minimum or term. Buyers request a private offer, and the listing says pricing depends on their requirements and eligibility.
The listing says eligible spend counts toward an AWS EDP or PPA commitment, subject to the buyer's agreement. EDP is the Enterprise Discount Program and PPA the Private Pricing Agreement. Both are spending commitments large AWS customers sign in return for a discount.
What it means for enterprises
Buying through AWS is likely to change who signs the contract and which budget pays for the seats. OpenAI says the product matches what it sells direct, and the listing keeps OpenAI as the data processor.
A buyer with unspent AWS commitment can put ChatGPT Enterprise against it. Because AWS is already an approved supplier for that buyer, procurement can be shorter than signing a new supplier.
Whether the AWS route is cheaper depends on the private offer, because the listing gives no price to compare with a direct quote. How much counts toward the commitment depends on each buyer's AWS agreement.
Before you switch it on
- Two quotes
- Ask for the private offer and a direct quote from OpenAI, and compare them on seats, term and features before you choose a route.
- Commitment share
- Ask AWS to confirm in writing how much of the spend counts toward your EDP or PPA. The listing says eligible spend, subject to your agreement.
- Existing contract
- If you already hold a direct ChatGPT Enterprise contract, check its renewal date first. Neither page says whether a contract can move to the marketplace part way through its term.
- Eligibility
- Confirm with your account team that you are eligible. If you need ChatGPT for Healthcare or ChatGPT for Financial Services, ask about those too, since both are for eligible customers.
Your data: OpenAI still processes it, and it may not stay on AWS
What was announced
The listing says OpenAI is the data processor for ChatGPT Enterprise. OpenAI uses subprocessors, including AWS, as set out in its Data Processing Addendum and subprocessor list.
The listing marks the product as deployed on AWS. The same page says buying through AWS Marketplace does not guarantee that all customer data stays on AWS infrastructure or inside your AWS environment.
The listing describes two residency controls. Data residency sets where supported customer content is stored. Inference residency sets where the model runs when it answers. Both apply only when switched on, neither is offered in every region, and neither covers all processing or systems data.
The listing says business data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and is not used to train OpenAI's models by default. Administrators manage user access, permissions and connected tools. OpenAI manages the product and handles technical support.
What it means for enterprises
The listing points to OpenAI's own processing addendum and subprocessor list. So the security review is likely to cover the same ground as buying direct.
By the listing's own words, buying on AWS does not mean the data stays in your own AWS account. AWS sends the bill, and OpenAI processes the data.
Residency needs its own decision. Each control has to be switched on, neither is offered in every region, and some processing sits outside both.
Before you switch it on
- Processor terms
- Read OpenAI's Data Processing Addendum and subprocessor list before you sign, since AWS is one subprocessor among others.
- Residency
- Confirm with OpenAI which data residency and inference residency options exist for your region, and switch them on before staff start using ChatGPT Enterprise.
- Supplier records
- Record OpenAI as the processor in your supplier and data records, even though AWS sends the bill.
- Admin owner
- Name the administrators who manage user access, permissions and connected tools, and keep that list with the contract.

Where the market is heading: AI assistants bought against cloud commitments
OpenAI says ChatGPT Enterprise sits beside the OpenAI models already in Amazon Bedrock. Developers build applications and agents with those models in Bedrock, and teams across the business use ChatGPT Enterprise.
Anthropic's Claude Enterprise is listed on the same marketplace. Its entry there says spend draws down from an EDP or PPA commitment.
Our reading is that either assistant can be paid for from the same AWS commitment. The choice between them can then rest on each product and its terms.

For engineers: what an IT admin should confirm before you buy
Residency and processing
Data residency covers supported customer content at rest. Inference residency is a separate control for where model inference runs. Both apply only when enabled, neither is available in all regions, and neither covers all processing or systems data.
Ask OpenAI which of your data falls outside both controls, and check the subprocessor list for where AWS sits in it.

Who runs what
The listing is SaaS sold by OpenAI. User access, permissions, connected tools and technical support stay with OpenAI's product. Purchasing, billing and the commitment run through AWS.
OpenAI positions its models in Amazon Bedrock for the applications and agents developers build, and ChatGPT Enterprise for staff. Keep the two in separate lines of your AWS spend reports.
