OpenAI ChatGPT Pro

OpenAI has added a new $100-a-month ChatGPT plan, cutting the jump between its $20 Plus tier and its $200 Pro tier. (help.openai.com) The company said on April 9 that the new tier is built for people running “real projects,” with significantly higher limits for Codex and Deep Research than Plus. OpenAI’s release notes say the plan includes unlimited access to GPT-5.4 and access to GPT-5.4 Pro. (help.openai.com 1) (help.openai.com 2) Codex is OpenAI’s coding agent inside ChatGPT, a tool that can help write, inspect, and work through software tasks. OpenAI says the new $100 tier comes with 5 times the Codex usage of Plus, with a temporary promotion raising that to as much as 10 times through May 31, 2026. (help.openai.com) (developers.openai.com) The pricing change fills a gap that had opened between casual subscribers and the company’s highest-usage individual plan. Until this week, OpenAI’s consumer lineup jumped from Plus at $20 a month to Pro at $200 a month. (help.openai.com 1) (help.openai.com 2) It also lands in the middle of a direct pricing fight with Anthropic. Anthropic’s Claude Max starts at $100 a month and offers 5 times the usage of Claude Pro, with a $200 Max option offering 20 times the usage. (claude.com) OpenAI is framing the new tier around coding workloads rather than general chat. Its developer pricing page says Pro subscribers get priority request processing and access to GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark, a research-preview coding model for day-to-day tasks. (developers.openai.com) The older $200 Pro plan is still on sale. OpenAI’s release notes say that tier remains the company’s “highest-usage option” and keeps its current Codex promotion through May 31. (help.openai.com) The move gives heavy ChatGPT users a middle rung: more room for long coding sessions than Plus, but at half the price of the top individual plan. OpenAI and Anthropic are now both asking $100 a month from users who hit limits before they hit budget. (help.openai.com) (claude.com)
