Is the Free Tier Enough?
DALL-E offers a free tier: Limited generations on ChatGPT free tier
The free plan works well for individual users and small teams getting started. If you need advanced features, more storage, or team collaboration, you will likely need to upgrade to the Starter or Pro plan. We recommend starting free and upgrading only when you hit a concrete limitation.
Which Plan Should You Pick?
Best if you are a solo user testing DALL-E or need basic functionality without paying.
Best for freelancers and small teams (2-5 people) who need core features at $20/mo (via ChatGPT Plus)/mo.
Best for growing teams (5-50) who need advanced features, integrations, and priority support at API pricing per image/mo.
