OpenAI has announced updates to its ChatGPT subscription plans, introducing a new Pro tier designed for users with higher usage needs. The new plan, priced at $100 globally and Rs 10,699 per month in India, focuses on improving access to coding tools and AI models within ChatGPT.
The update reflects growing demand for AI tools that can handle longer and more complex sessions, particularly in coding and automation tasks.
Pricing across ChatGPT plans
The revised pricing structure now includes four main tiers:
Free: Rs 0 per month
Go: Rs 399 per month
Plus: Rs 1,999 per month
Pro: Rs 10,699 per month
The new Pro tier is positioned above the Plus plan and targets users who require higher limits and sustained usage across features.
Older ChatGPT Pro plan details
Earlier, the Pro plan used to cost Rs 19,900 and used to offer higher usage limits, access to advanced Frontier models, 20x Codex capabilities, deeper research tools, faster responses, and unlimited core chat for intensive productivity and professional workflows needs. In India, the plan is no longer listed on OpenAI's website. However, the plan continue to exist in the global market.
Codex usage gets a boost
A key change in the Pro plan is the increase in usage limits for Codex. OpenAI states that the new tier provides up to five times more Codex usage compared to the Plus plan, enabling longer and more demanding coding sessions.
For a limited period until May 31, the company is also offering a temporary increase, allowing Pro subscribers to access up to ten times the Codex usage available on Plus. This move is aimed at supporting users working on larger projects during the early rollout.
Meanwhile, Codex usage under the Plus plan is being adjusted to distribute access more evenly across the week instead of concentrating usage within a single day.
Access to models and capabilities
Alongside higher Codex limits, the Pro plan includes access to multiple AI models within ChatGPT. This includes unlimited access to Instant and Thinking models, as well as extended limits for uploads, image generation, and research tools.
The plan also enables broader access to features such as memory, agent capabilities, and custom GPTs, indicating a shift toward supporting more advanced and continuous workflows.
