GPT Store review
A free, no-code GPT directory with creation tools and reviewed publishing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
GPT Store is OpenAI’s marketplace-style directory for discovering specialized GPTs inside ChatGPT. It suits people who want to browse purpose-built assistants, open public GPT pages, and chat with accessible GPTs after signing in. The service is available across ChatGPT web, iOS, and Android, with direct GPT links providing another way to open an assistant.
Its main strength is no-code GPT configuration. GPTs can combine custom instructions, conversation starters, uploaded knowledge files, and capabilities such as web search or image generation. Eligible GPTs can also connect to apps or external APIs through actions. This gives creators several ways to shape a specialized assistant without requiring traditional software development. Public publishing is reviewed through automated sharing and policy checks, adding a defined step before a GPT appears publicly.
The plan structure is freemium. The Free plan provides GPT access after ChatGPT sign-in. Go is a paid ChatGPT subscription with expanded access, while Plus includes custom GPTs and Pro includes expanded custom GPT access in the ChatGPT pricing comparison. New GPT creation and publishing are unavailable on personal ChatGPT accounts, while managed-workspace permissions affect availability. OpenAI also plans to retire custom GPTs, with Enterprise retirement planned for December 11, 2026, and other plans expected to follow later. Choose GPT Store for free discovery and no-code assistant capabilities within ChatGPT; consider an alternative if you need an API-based marketplace or dependable long-term custom GPT publishing.
