ChatGPT finally offers $100/month Pro plan
OpenAI launches much-anticipated $100 Pro tier
OpenAI has unveiled a new $100 per month Pro subscription for ChatGPT, addressing the demands of developers and power users who require robust coding assistance. With this launch, OpenAI's subscription lineup now includes:
- Free (with ads)
- Go ($8/month) (with ads)
- Plus ($20/month) (ad-free)
- Pro ($100/month) (ad-free)
- Pro Max ($200/month) (ad-free, higher limits, still available but not publicly listed)
The new $100 Pro plan is positioned to deliver five times more Codex capabilities compared to the Plus plan, supporting users during high-intensity coding sessions. OpenAI has clarified that while unlimited usage isn’t offered, the Pro tiers substantially increase coding limits, with the $200 option providing even more headroom for demanding workflows.
Why introduce the $100 plan?
OpenAI launched this pricing to match competition from Anthropic’s Claude, which has long offered a $100 monthly plan. According to OpenAI, the new Pro tier provides more coding throughput per dollar, especially noticeable during periods of heavy use.
Special offer: Higher limits through May 31
For a limited time, the $100 plan will feature increased Codex thresholds until May 31. Users are advised that these enhanced rates are temporary and may be reduced after the initial period.
More than 3 million Codex users worldwide
Codex adoption continues to accelerate, now serving over 3 million weekly users — a fivefold increase in three months, with usage growing more than 70% month over month.
