The new package provides programming support capabilities 5 times higher than Plus, aimed at long and high-intensity working sessions.
According to OpenAI, compared to Anthropic's programming tool, the company's solution brings better performance per USD in paid packages. This move is seen as a step to directly compete with Claude's 100 USD package.
Regarding the difference between the two Pro packages, the 200 USD/month version still has a significantly higher usage limit. However, both share advanced models and tools, the main difference lies in the usage level.
To attract users, OpenAI also implements temporary incentives, doubling usage compared to normal. The company said that the Plus package is still a suitable choice for daily needs, while the 100 USD package opens up a more accessible upgrade option for dedicated users.
Previously, the launch of new model versions significantly improved the speed and processing capabilities of the programming tool in ChatGPT, causing users to consider competing AI platforms. However, the price of 200 USD was once a barrier for many people and the 100 USD package is expected to attract groups of customers who are still hesitant.
