OpenAI Now Charges $100 For ChatGPT To Code You Into Bankruptcy
KEY POINTS
- •OpenAI announced a new ChatGPT Pro subscription tier costing $100 a month focused on increased Codex coding tool usage.
- •This new option offers 5 times more Codex access than the $20 monthly Plus subscription, targeting intense coding sessions.
- •OpenAI introduced this competitor tier to fight Anthropic’s Claude Max, which also charges $100 per month.
OpenAI just dropped a ChatGPT Pro subscription that costs an eye-watering $100/month—five times pricier than its $20 'Plus' tier. This golden ticket promises 5x more access to Codex, their coding AI, perfectly designed for those marathon debugging sessions or maybe existential crises over missing semicolons. The new $100 tier cozies up for a showdown with Anthropic’s Claude Max, which conveniently costs the same $100, because clear pricing would be too easy. Meanwhile, the $200 Pro tier lurks in the shadows, likely for those billionaires who want Codex to code their yachts. OpenAI seems to think splitting their products like Ikea furniture will win your wallet.
