OpenAI Adds $500 ChatGPT Pro Plan, Cuts Allowance for New $200 Plan Subscribers

Picture: WinBuzzer

OpenAI's new $500 monthly ChatGPT Pro tier offers the most included usage among Pro plans and exclusive Astra Ultrafast speed access. First-time $200 subscribers allowance gets cut by half. OpenAI has added a $500 monthly ChatGPT Pro subscription above its $200 option, which now comes with less included usage for new subscribers. OpenAI cited demand for its Astra model when it paused $200 sign-ups on September 10; it now offers that option again. Eligible existing $200 subscribers keep their earlier allowance until October 29, when the lower allowance reaches them. ChatGPT Pro is OpenAI’s subscription family for demanding research and coding work. Its current plan terms list three monthly prices in US dollars: $100, $200 and $500. All three include Pro models, Codex for coding, deep research and image creation.
