Overview
- OpenAI, which announced the move Thursday, introduced a $100 per month ChatGPT Pro plan aimed at Codex users who need more capacity than Plus but not the $200 tier.
- The plan lifts Codex quotas to five times the Plus level, with a temporary boost to ten times the Plus limit through May 31.
- Both Pro plans include the same models and features, including Pro-only options and early experiments, while the $200 tier sets usage at twenty times Plus for heavier workloads.
- Codex, OpenAI’s AI coding assistant available in ChatGPT, a Mac app, and a CLI, now serves over 3 million weekly users after a fivefold jump in three months with 70% month-over-month growth.
- The pricing change positions Codex as better value versus Anthropic’s Claude Code, following developer reports of hitting Claude’s usage limits.
