ChatGPT costs Rp320,000/month in Indonesia - here's the Rp32,000 alternative Indonesian developers are using Rp320,000 per bulan. That's what OpenAI charges for ChatGPT Plus in Indonesia. At the current exchange rate, that's about $20 USD - but for an Indonesian developer earning the median tech salary, that's not pocket change. That's a meaningful slice of your monthly budget. For context: Rp320,000 buys you 20kg of rice. It covers a week of groceries. It's two months of a decent mobile data plan. $20/month sounds cheap in San Francisco. In Jakarta, it's a different story.
