OpenAI is rolling out a new $100/month ChatGPT subscription tailored for Codex users. Here’s how it stacks up against OpenAI’s current offerings and what it encompasses.
## ChatGPT Pro is now more budget-friendly
OpenAI launched its Codex Mac application in February, providing developers with enhanced tools for agentic coding alongside artificial intelligence. The new ChatGPT Pro tier is specifically crafted for Codex users who have surpassed the $20/month ChatGPT Plus tier. Previously, ChatGPT Pro was only available at $200/month.
OpenAI states that the updated version offers five times the Codex usage compared to Plus, complete access to all Pro features including exclusive models, and unrestricted access to Instant and Thinking models. “To celebrate the launch, we’re temporarily boosting Codex usage through May 31st so that Pro $100 subscribers receive up to 10x the usage of ChatGPT Plus on Codex to realize your most ambitious ideas,” OpenAI mentions.
## OpenAI’s $200/month tier remains accessible
While OpenAI has unveiled a more economical option for the ChatGPT Pro plan, the $200/month tier is still available for users with greater demands. This means there are now two variations of ChatGPT Pro.
For clarity, OpenAI has provided an explanation with useful information. Firstly, these are the two Pro tiers:
– **Pro $100** – Designed for genuine projects. For users who engage with advanced tools and models weekly and receive 5x higher limits than Plus (and 10x Codex usage versus Plus for a limited period).
– **Pro $200** – For intensive tasks. Execute your most strenuous workflows continuously, even across simultaneous projects, with 20× higher limits than Plus.
“Both Pro plans offer the same essential functionalities,” notes OpenAI. “The primary distinction lies in the usage allowance: Pro $100 grants 5x higher usage than Plus (and 10x Codex usage versus Plus for a limited period), while Pro $200 provides 20x usage compared to Plus.” You can discover more about the new ChatGPT Pro plan [here](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/9793128-about-chatgpt-pro-plans) and check all pricing [here](https://chatgpt.com/#pricing).
## Codex boasts over 3 million weekly users
In the meantime, OpenAI has disclosed some data regarding Codex usage. The organization reports that Codex has surpassed 3 million weekly users. This represents a fivefold increase in three months, alongside a 70% month-over-month growth in usage.
