OpenAI has closed a yawning gap in its ChatGPT subscription pricing with a new $100 per month Pro plan<\/a> that slots between the $20 per month Plus plan and $200 per month Pro plan. Offering five times more Codex than the $20 option, it appears designed to challenge Anthropic’s $100 per month Claude option. “Compared with Claude Code, Codex delivers more coding capacity per dollar across paid tiers,” an OpenAI spokesperson told TechCrunch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So what’s the difference between OpenAI’s two Pro plans? The $200 version does offer four times the Codex. However, you get the same advanced tools and models with $100 plan, according to OpenAI’s product page. To encourage users to jump in, it will offer double the Codex for a limited time, or 10 times what you get with the Plus plan.<\/p>\n

Users have been screaming for such a plan for a while now, according to posts<\/a> on OpenAI’s developer community forums. “The Plus plan will continue to be the best offer at $20 for steady, day-to-day usage of Codex, and the new $100 Pro tier offers a more accessible upgrade path for heavier daily use,” OpenAI said in a post on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With the launch of GPT 5.2 late last year and GPT-5.3-Codex<\/a> in February, OpenAI significantly boosted the speed and reasoning capabilities of Codex, giving developers a tough choice between ChatGPT and Claude Opus. However, the sticking point for many power users was ChatGPT’s $200 per month price \u2014 so OpenAI no doubt hopes the new plan will convince those on the fence to switch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OpenAI has closed a yawning gap in its ChatGPT subscription pricing with a new $100 per month Pro…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":372889,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[365,363,364,7705,11752,111,139,69,620,145],"class_list":{"0":"post-372888","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-claude","12":"tag-claude-opus","13":"tag-new-zealand","14":"tag-newzealand","15":"tag-nz","16":"tag-openai","17":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=372888"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372888\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/372889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=372888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=372888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=372888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
