OpenAI has announced the reopening of its $200 Pro subscription plan to new sign-ups, a move that reflects the company’s ongoing evolution in pricing strategy. However, the company has also cut the API credits per dollar in half, prompting users to rethink their usage of the service.
According to OpenAI employee Thibault Sottiaux, the introduction of more efficient models, such as GPT-6 Sol and Luna, is intended to compensate for this reduction. This shift from subsidized flat-rate plans to a usage-based billing model aims to better align costs with actual consumption and enhance user experience.
