OpenAI has introduced a new Pro plan priced at $100 per month for ChatGPT users, providing higher usage limits compared to the $20 monthly Plus plan. This new offering targets users who require more coding time through OpenAI’s popular Codex application without the higher expense associated with the $200 monthly Pro plan.
The Pro plan features Codex usage limits that are five times greater than those of the Plus plan. It also grants access to all functionalities available in the current $200-a-month Pro tier, which has usage limits 20 times higher than the Plus plan, including unlimited access to Instant and Thinking models.
OpenAI noted that Codex usage has surged by over 70% month-over-month, reflecting the growing demand for AI coding tools. This new tier is designed to create a more balanced pricing strategy for users who find that coding requires significantly more tokens than standard chat requests.
Anthropic provides similar subscription pricing for its Claude AI services, with the Claude Max 5x priced at $100 per month for five times the capacity of the $20 plan, and the Claude Max 20x at $200 for 20 times that capacity.
