Low-Cost GPT Plus/Pro Market Analysis We extracted 13,000 messages from a well-known GPT account's Telegram group, then cleaned the data, gathered product prices, basic store info, and more. Compiled it all into a report—let’s check out some interesting findings. --- 1. Overview Out of the 13,000 messages, nearly half contained specific product SKUs (like GPT, Claude, etc.). From the bio info of the posting accounts, we identified and aggregated 29 chain stores (many AI accounts sell on this platform). Total sales: 377,000 transactions (that’s quite a lot). Top-ranking store: 138,000 sales in just 97 days—barely 3 months old. Average daily sales: 1,424 transactions (that’s insane!). The store account is based in Dongguan. --- 2. Seller Info There are 9 stores with daily sales exceeding 100, and the vast majority of stores were opened within the last 3 months. The oldest store has only been around for 158 days. A classic example of a booming new industry. Here’s an interesting discovery: 5 stores are listed as being based in Baoji City. Upon closer inspection, the products they sell are almost identical. Wow, they’re already running store clusters this early on. --- 3. Product Pricing Taking GPT Plus (non-direct recharge) as an example, most of the available prices are already above ¥20. Those listed at ¥7 or ¥10 are either fake bait to attract traffic or completely out of stock. As for direct recharge GPT Plus, prices range from ¥115–135. GPT Pro 5x is priced between ¥590–680 (quite a range). GPT Pro 20x goes for ¥1,050–1,258 (a ¥200 price difference is definitely worth shopping around for). --- Thoughts From a consumer perspective, having to sift through 6,000+ messages daily to find a reliable seller is just too inefficient. There’s definitely a need for a bot to automatically scrape, clean, and list everything on a webpage for easy browsing. From a seller’s perspective, some stores are making over 1,000 sales a day—it seems like there’s decent profit to be made. So, is this industry still worth getting into?
