The new Pro tier, priced at $100 per month instead of the previous $200, offers five times more Codex usage than the $20 Plus plan. According to OpenAI, it is aimed at users who need longer and more demanding Codex sessions. At the same time, the company is adjusting Codex usage on the Plus plan so users can spread more sessions across the week rather than concentrating usage in a single day.
OpenAI says the $20-per-month Plus plan remains the best value for everyday Codex use, while the new Pro tier is designed as a more affordable step-up option for power users.

The previous $200 Pro tier remains available as the highest-usage option, but it is no longer listed on the main pricing page, suggesting it may be on the way out. With this new $100 plan, OpenAI is also significantly undercutting competing premium AI subscriptions from Anthropic and Google, which start at around $200 per month and higher.
The new $100 Pro plan looks like a strategic middle tier designed to capture heavy users who found Plus too limited but did not want to pay $200 per month. It also signals that Codex is becoming a more central part of OpenAI’s product ecosystem, while pricing pressure on Anthropic and Google is clearly increasing.
