OpenAI announced on Tuesday that the monthly fee for its ChatGPT Pro plan has been cut in half to $100, a move aimed squarely at developers who have been gravitating toward Anthropic’s Claude Code. The revised tier now offers five‑times the Codex usage limits of the $20‑per‑month Plus plan and includes exclusive access to the GPT‑5.3‑Codex‑Spark research preview.
The price adjustment follows OpenAI’s rollout earlier this month of a $100‑per‑month Pro subscription for heavier Codex use, which we covered on April 10. At launch the tier promised 5× higher limits but also bundled a temporary 2× boost that expires on May 31. By slashing the price to $100, OpenAI is effectively making that boosted capacity the baseline, narrowing the gap with Anthropic’s comparable offering and signalling that the company views the coding market as a decisive battleground.
For developers, the change lowers the barrier to a high‑performance coding assistant that can generate, review and refactor code at scale. It also puts pressure on competing platforms to either match the pricing or differentiate with new features, potentially accelerating the adoption of AI‑driven development tools across the Nordics and beyond.
What to watch next: OpenAI has hinted that its “accidental” pricing model will continue to evolve, so further tier adjustments or an unlimited‑access plan could be on the horizon. Analysts will be tracking subscription uptake after the temporary boost ends, while Anthropic is expected to respond with its own pricing tweaks for Claude Code. The next few weeks should reveal whether the $100 Pro tier reshapes the competitive dynamics of AI‑assisted software engineering.
