Monetize a custom GPT
without getting burned

The biggest mistake creators make is selling access to something they can’t control. Monetizing a GPT requires an enforcement layer.

Pricing models • Customer expectations • Enforcement basics

The three things paid users expect

  • Reliability: it works when they need it
  • Fairness: clear limits and clear upgrades
  • Control: secure access that can’t be shared freely

Simple pricing that works

Most GPT products do best with predictable monthly plans. Response limits keep your costs in check and give customers clarity.

  • Starter plan: enough responses for light use
  • Pro plan: higher cap + priority features
  • Add-on packs: buy more responses when needed

The “secure access” requirement

If your product is a link, it will be shared. If your product is a secured experience, it can be sold. LockedGPT is a platform designed specifically to secure, control, and monetize access to custom GPTs using real API-based enforcement.
