OpenAI Launches $100 ChatGPT Pro Subscription Tier

OpenAI announced a new subscription tier for ChatGPT on Thursday, introducing a $100-per-month plan called ChatGPT Pro aimed at power users and developers who rely heavily on the company's Codex coding tool. The addition, revealed from the company's San Francisco headquarters, fills a gap between the existing $20-per-month Plus plan and higher-end options, offering five times the Codex usage limits of the Plus tier to support more intensive daily coding sessions.

The new Pro plan provides access to advanced features, including exclusive models, unlimited use of Instant and Thinking models, and enhanced file uploads and image creation. OpenAI positions it as an upgrade for users who exceed the base limits on the Plus plan, which remains suitable for steady, day-to-day Codex interactions. A separate $200-per-month Pro tier, though not prominently listed on the company's pricing page, continues to be available and delivers 20 times the Codex capacity of Plus for enterprise-level workflows and parallel projects. Both Pro plans share core capabilities, with differences primarily in rate limits that govern interaction volume within given timeframes.
