OpenAI Launches $100 ChatGPT Pro Plan For Codex Users: Here’s What You Get

OpenAI has officially rolled out a new mid-tier subscription for ChatGPT and this one seems clearly aimed at serious coders. The US-based AI giant has introduced a $100 per month plan (roughly Rs 10,699), designed for users who rely heavily on Codex for longer, more demanding coding sessions. It sits neatly between the existing Plus plan and the higher-end $200 Pro tier, offering a middle ground for those who need more power but don’t want to go all-in on the top plan.A Plan Built For Developers The ChatGPT maker isn’t being subtle about who this is for. In its announcement on X, OpenAI said the new tier delivers up to five times more Codex usage compared to the $20 Plus plan. That’s a big jump, especially for developers working on complex projects

where shorter limits can quickly become frustrating.Interestingly, this new plan doesn’t cut back on features. Users still get access to all Pro-level capabilities, including the exclusive Pro model and unlimited access to Instant and Thinking models. Codex Growth Is Driving The ChangeThere’s a reason this move is happening now. According to Sam Altman, Codex has crossed over three million weekly active users, a sign that developer-focused AI tools are gaining serious traction.The US-based tech giant has also been adjusting usage limits across plans in recent weeks. The idea seems to be balancing demand as more users jump in, especially those using AI for coding rather than casual queries.Competition Is Heating UpThis update doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Rivals are catching up fast. Anthropic, for instance, is working on its own developer-focused tools, including the Claude Code platform and an upcoming model called Mythos, though reports suggest its launch is currently delayed due to cybersecurity concerns. Meanwhile, OpenAI is also said to be building a competing model internally, reportedly called Spud, with confirmation coming from Greg Brockman. That alone hints at how intense the race in AI coding tools has become.
