OpenAI's new tier naming slammed: $500 Pro 500 buys you just 25x, old 20x plan cost $20

scaling01 argues OpenAI is copying Anthropic's misleading subscription naming with its new tiers: Plus = 1x, Pro 100 = 5x, Pro 200 = 10x, Pro 500 = 25x usage. By that math, paying $500 for Pro 500 gets you roughly what an old 20x subscription offered — a rebrand that inflates perceived value.
