ChatGPT Pro Costs $200 a Month: What OpenAI’s Power Tier Means for AI Budgets
Description and use
<p>OpenAI launched <strong>ChatGPT Pro at $200 per month</strong> in December 2024, creating a high-end subscription tier for users who need sustained access to its most capable models and tools. The plan is aimed at researchers, engineers, and other power users, rather than being presented as a default purchase for every ChatGPT user. For businesses, the price is a useful reminder that the value of AI subscriptions depends less on having access to a model and more on whether that access improves a specific, repeatable piece of work.</p> <p>According to <a href="https://openai.com/index/introd
