ChatGPT adds $100 Pro tier
ChatGPT introduced a new $100 Pro subscription tier aimed at heavier users and developers, with the plan also launched in India at a listed price. Coverage says the move positions ChatGPT Pro against Claude’s $100 tier and below OpenAI’s $200 Max plan while offering enhanced coding capacity for power users (bleepingcomputer.com, newsbytesapp.com).
OpenAI announced a $100-per-month ChatGPT Pro tier on April 9, 2026, aimed at heavy users and developers who need larger coding workloads. (community.openai.com) The new Pro tier is priced at $100 per month in the United States and is listed at Rs 10,699 per month in India. (indiatoday.in) OpenAI says the $100 plan gives subscribers roughly five times the Codex usage of the $20 ChatGPT Plus plan and, as a launch promotion, doubles that allowance to ten times through May 31, 2026. (community.openai.com) OpenAI kept its existing $200-per-month Pro tier available, so the $100 option sits between the $20 Plus plan and the $200 plan while offering the same Pro features but different usage caps. (techcrunch.com) Anthropic already sells a Claude Max tier that starts at $100 per month with selectable 5x or 20x usage options, making the new OpenAI price a direct competitor on capacity and cost. (claude.com) OpenAI framed the launch as a response to developer demand, noting Codex has roughly 3 million weekly users; CEO Sam Altman posted on X that the tier came "by very popular demand." (timesofindia.indiatimes.com) As part of the rollout OpenAI said it rebalanced Codex limits for existing Plus subscribers and updated help documentation and developer notices to reflect the new caps. (community.openai.com) The temporary double-Codex boost for new $100 Pro subscribers expires May 31, 2026; after that date users and developers will be able to compare the mid-tier’s steady limits against the older $200 Pro plan.
