- OpenAI introduces a new $100/month ChatGPT Pro tier aimed at developers, particularly Codex users.
- The plan offers 5x more Codex usage than the $20/month Plus tier, plus access to Pro models, deep research, and early experimental features.
- Anthropic has similar $100/month and $200/month plans, with extra usage likely directed at coding tools, and it has shut off access to OpenClaw.
- Developers have been hitting Claude Code's usage limits quickly, noting Codex offers more generous limits per dollar.
- OpenAI highlights Codex provides more coding capacity per dollar than Claude Code, especially during active use.
- The $20/month ChatGPT Plus remains recommended for everyday use, while the $100 plan targets high-demand coding.
- OpenAI temporarily increases usage limits for the $100 plan to 10x until May 31st to promote adoption.
