OpenAI may be planning a ChatGPT Pro plan for $200 per month
OpenAI’s “12 Days of Shipmas” event doesn’t start for another few hours, but the first big announcement may have been revealed early.
A test page on a website used by OpenAI refers to a “ChatGPT Pro” plan that includes all the benefits of ChatGPT Plusas well as news.
Remember that ChatGPT Plus is an improved version of OpenAI’s AI-powered chatbot platform, ChatGPT.

According to the leaked page, discovered by software engineer Tibor Blaho on X, ChatGPT Pro provides unlimited access to all OpenAI models, including the full version of its o1 “reasoning” model, a distilled version of o1 called o1-mini, and GPT-4o.
ChatGPT Pro also includes unlimited access to advanced voice mode, ChatGPT’s human-like conversation feature, and a new “o1 pro mode,” which “uses more computing to get the best answers to the toughest questions,” according to the company. page.
However, all this could come at a high price. According to the page, ChatGPT Pro starts at $200 per month or £200/€229, depending on the region. The user who upgrades from ChatGPT Plus to Pro will get a prorated credit for the remainder of your subscription.
That would make ChatGPT Pro OpenAI’s most expensive subscription plan yet, and 10 times the cost of ChatGPT Plus.
A separate leaked web page discovered by Blaho contains another surprise: a mention of what could be OpenAI’s next big model. According to the page, subscribers to OpenAI’s ChatGPT Team plan will soon have access to a “limited preview” of “GPT-4.5.”

We’ll have confirmation soon, with a little luck.
Personal opinion:
“In my opinion, this move by OpenAI could be a bold and interesting move. Offering a ChatGPT Pro plan for $200 per month could be beneficial for users and businesses that rely on AI in their work. However, this move could be risky, especially if there is hesitation on the part of users to pay this monthly amount for the features it offers. I think OpenAI will need to provide real value in this plan to justify the high cost.”
