ChatGPT Pro coming soon for $200/month, per OpenAI leak – 9to5Mac

OpenAI talks often about how it wants to make ChatGPT and its various AI tools available free to as many users as possible. But the company is also pushing further into paid ventures, and the latest one has a hefty $200/month price tag.

ChatGPT Pro offers ‘unlimited’ access to advanced models

OpenAI is about to kick off a series of announcements over the coming 12 days, some of which will be big news while others are ‘stocking stuffers,’ per CEO Sam Altman.

Ahead of the first announcement, users have discovered references on OpenAI’s website to a brand new, ultra-premium ChatGPT Pro subscription (via TechCrunch).

The kicker? It costs $200/month.

As you can see in the feature list above, ChatGPT Pro is expected to include unlimited access to models like o1 and GPT-4o, plus unlimited advanced voice mode, and a new o1 mode.

It’s also significantly more expensive than the existing ChatGPT Plus plan, which runs for $20/month.

Corroborating this report, another user has separately discovered a reference to ‘o1 pro mode’ when using ChatGPT. It’s unclear now whether o1 pro mode will be exclusive to ChatGPT Pro users, but it seems likely.

Per the leaked image, o1 pro mode ‘uses more compute for the best answers to the hardest questions.’

9to5Mac’s Take

$200/month is a huge ask for users, so I can’t imagine there will be a huge market for it. That said, if you rely on ChatGPT to make money for you, it could very well be worth the extra cash for unlimited access and for the new ‘o1 pro’ mode.

What do you think of the $200/month price tag? Will this new plan have a big market? Let us know in the comments.
