ChatGPT Enterprise Now on AWS Marketplace

OpenAI has made ChatGPT Enterprise available through AWS Marketplace, giving organisations a new way to buy and manage the workplace version of ChatGPT through their existing Amazon Web Services account. OpenAI announced the listing on 9 November 2026.

Instead of contracting directly with OpenAI, eligible customers can now discover, buy and manage ChatGPT Enterprise through AWS Marketplace, using the purchasing and billing relationship they already have with Amazon. Eligible spending can also count towards a customer's AWS commitments.

What changes for buyers

The main change is commercial rather than technical. OpenAI says marketplace customers receive the same models, features and functionality available directly from the company, with new features released at the same time.

The AWS Marketplace listing names OpenAI as the seller and describes the offering as software as a service deployed on AWS. There is no published standard price. Customers request a private offer for a custom quote based on their requirements and eligibility, and AWS handles purchasing and billing while OpenAI continues to manage the product experience.

Matt Yanchyshyn, vice president of AWS Marketplace and Partner Services at AWS, said customers can "buy it through their AWS account, govern it alongside the rest of their software spend, and move from evaluation to rollout faster."

Eligible spending can count towards an AWS Enterprise Discount Program or Private Pricing Addendum commitment, subject to the customer's agreement. Eligible customers can also access ChatGPT for Healthcare and ChatGPT for Financial Services through AWS Marketplace, with eligibility confirmed through an OpenAI or AWS account team.

What is included in the bundle

The enterprise bundle brings together four products in one offering: Chat, ChatGPT Work, Codex and dots.

Chat supports conversations for exploring ideas, writing and working through problems. ChatGPT Work delegates multi-step research, analysis and projects, using connected apps and files to create documents, presentations, spreadsheets and reports, with users able to review progress, steer the work and approve important actions.

Codex is the coding agent, helping developers understand codebases, build features, fix bugs, run tests and review changes. Dots are always-on agents that track updates, keep documents and analyses current, and bring forward results and decisions that need attention between conversations.

Data handling has limits buyers should note

Buying through AWS Marketplace does not by itself decide where customer data is stored or processed. The listing states that purchasing through the marketplace does not guarantee that all customer data remains on AWS infrastructure or within the customer's AWS environment.

OpenAI says business data is encrypted at rest and in transit and is not used to train its models by default. OpenAI is the data processor for ChatGPT Enterprise and engages subprocessors, including AWS. Data residency controls where supported customer content is stored at rest, while inference residency separately controls where model inference on that content runs. Those options apply only when enabled, are not available in all regions and do not cover all processing or systems data.

How it fits alongside Amazon Bedrock

OpenAI positions the marketplace listing as complementary to its models in Amazon Bedrock, rather than a replacement for them. Developers can build AI applications and agents with those models in Bedrock, while teams across a business use ChatGPT Enterprise in their daily work.

The launch follows an expansion of the OpenAI-AWS partnership announced on 28 April 2026, in which OpenAI models on Amazon Bedrock, Codex on AWS and Amazon Bedrock Managed Agents powered by OpenAI launched in limited preview. Those releases focused on building with OpenAI capabilities in AWS environments; the new announcement adds a procurement channel for the packaged workplace product.

For organisations that already run heavily on AWS, the change simplifies procurement and lets ChatGPT Enterprise spending sit alongside other software spend. Whether it is the right route for a given organisation will still depend on its governance, residency and contract requirements, which buyers should confirm with their OpenAI or AWS account team.
