ChatGPT ads are worth testing in 2026 if you sell a considered purchase, want intent-rich placements, and can spare a modest experiment budget, because early competition is thin. They are not yet worth it if you sit in a restricted category, run on a shoestring, or need proven last-click ROI today.
