A new subscription offering will allow intensive users to execute complex, long-running workflows that are currently restricted by capacity limits. This "ChatGPT Pro Max" tier is reportedly priced at $500 per month, making it one of the costliest consumer AI services on the market. OpenAI is currently developing the plan and may officially announce it during its DevDay event next week.
The proposed monthly cost exceeds the median income in 128 countries, representing 66% of the 193 UN member states. Some users allege that OpenAI is reducing usage limits on existing $20 and $200 tiers to force power users into the more expensive plan. Critics suggest this pricing contradicts the company's previous goals of providing intelligence that is too cheap to meter.
