Here\u2019s how it compares to OpenAI\u2019s existing plans and what it includes.<\/p>\n<p>ChatGPT Pro is now more affordable<\/p>\n<p id=\"h-chatgpt-pro-was-previously-200-month\">OpenAI introduced its Codex Mac app in <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/02\/02\/openai-launches-codex-app-for-macos-here-are-the-details\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">February<\/a>, giving developers new tools for agentic coding with artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p id=\"h-chatgpt-pro-was-previously-200-month\">The new ChatGPT Pro tier is especially designed for Codex users who have outgrown the $20\/month ChatGPT Plus tier.<\/p>\n<p>ChatGPT Pro was previously only available for $200\/month.<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI says the new version includes five times more Codex usage than Plus, access to all Pro features including exclusive models, and unlimited access to Instant and Thinking models.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo celebrate the launch, we\u2019re increasing Codex usage for a limited time through May 31st so that Pro $100 subscribers get up to 10x usage of ChatGPT Plus on Codex to build your most ambitious ideas,\u201d OpenAI says.<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI\u2019s $200\/month tier is still available<\/p>\n<p>While OpenAI has introduced a more affordable version of the ChatGPT Pro plan, the $200\/month tier is still available for users with more needs.<\/p>\n<p>That means there are now two versions of ChatGPT Pro. Naming has never been a strength for the ChatGPT company.<\/p>\n<p>For clarity, OpenAI has an explainer with some helpful information.<\/p>\n<p>First, these are the two Pro tiers:<\/p>\n<p>Pro $100\u00a0\u2013 Built for real projects. For those who use advanced tools and models throughout the week with 5x higher limits than Plus (and 10x Codex usage vs. Plus for a limited time).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pro $200\u00a0\u2013 For heavy lifting. Run your most demanding workflows continuously, even across parallel projects, with 20\u00d7 higher limits than Plus.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth Pro plans include the same core capabilities,\u201d OpenAI says. \u201cThe main difference is usage allowance: Pro $100 unlocks 5x higher usage than Plus (and 10x Codex usage vs. Plus for a limited time), while Pro $200 unlocks 20x usage than Plus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more about the new ChatGPT Pro plan <a href=\"https:\/\/help.openai.com\/en\/articles\/9793128-about-chatgpt-pro-plans\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> and view all pricing <a href=\"https:\/\/chatgpt.com\/#pricing\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Codex has over 3 million weekly users<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, OpenAI has shared some Codex usage data.<\/p>\n<p>The company says Codex has more than 3 million weekly users.
