OpenAI is expanding its ChatGPT subscription options to include a new Pro tier priced at $100 per month. This tier addresses the increasing demand for coding capabilities with Codex, offering significantly more resources than the standard Plus plan. Specifically, this new Pro level provides five times the Codex usage, making it ideal for users engaged in extended coding projects.
Companies and developers increasingly rely on AI for coding assistance, prompting OpenAI to adapt its offerings. The Pro tier retains all existing features available to Pro subscribers, which includes access to advanced models and unlimited use of both Instant and Thinking capabilities. Additionally, subscribers will benefit from unlimited access to the latest model version, GPT 5.4, along with the Pro variant.
To celebrate the launch of this Pro subscription, OpenAI has introduced a promotional boost for new subscribers, raising their Codex usage to as high as ten times that of Plus through May 31. This move represents a response to feedback from users who require more extensive coding support than what is available with the current Plus subscription. The previous promotional opportunity for Plus users has now concluded, and the usage has been adjusted to allow for more balanced access throughout the week.
Despite the introduction of the Pro tier, the $20 Plus option remains OpenAI's primary choice for casual everyday use of Codex. This new tier also acts as an accessible upgrade for users who need greater resources. For those looking for further enhancements, OpenAI continues to provide a higher-priced Pro option at $200 per month, which also includes the special Codex promotion until May 31.
