OpenAI said to test $500/month tier as Reddit users question missing mid-range plan
Proper_Future_146 · reddit · 2026-09-27
A Reddit user claims OpenAI is internally testing a $500/month subscription tier, arguing the strategy is misguided. The $20 plan currently mixes hardcore developers with casual users, so the sensible move would be a $40-50 mid-tier instead of jumping straight to enterprise pricing. The poster also argues heavy users at that price point would burn more compute than the subscription covers. Unconfirmed community speculation; OpenAI has not responded.
